At the NYC premiere of 'The Crusaders'
Photos by Stacie Joy
Last Thursday night saw the NYC premiere of "The Crusaders" at the Village East by Angelika on Second Avenue and 12th Street.
This is the first film for Maxx Starr (below right with Jahmal Kirwan aka Manhattan Mal), co-owner of Fun City Tattoo on St. Mark's Place, who wrote and directed the short (24-minute) crime noir filmed entirely in the East Village. (International Bar on First Avenue and Nublu Classic on Avenue C served as locations for several scenes.)
EVG contributor Stacie Joy was at the premiere as moviegoers and other guests waited to enter the auditorium...
Members of the cast were present, including the two leads — Tessa Gourin...
... and Frederick Rusak...
Other cast members include Jerry Dean, Skam Dust, Peter Greene, Sophia Lamar, Santiago Melchiorre, Christopher Ponds and Neko White.
The film was screened in the large auditorium — the Jaffe Art Theatre...
You can follow @thecrusadersnyc for updates on upcoming screenings.

Serving up 'Licorice Pizza' this Thanksgiving
"Licorice Pizza," Paul Thomas Anderson's well-received coming-of-age film, opens this evening in 70mm at the Village East by Angelika on Second Avenue at 12th Street. (Given the 70mm format, it will be playing in the large auditorium — the Jaffe Art Theatre.)
The thumbnail plot of the comedy-drama: "Alana Kane and Gary Valentine grow up, run around and fall in love in California's San Fernando Valley in the 1970s."

It's nearly show time as NYC theaters prep for reopening
After being dark for nearly a year, movie theaters in NYC are permitted to reopen tomorrow at 25-percent capacity.
However, don't expect to see all of the local movie houses up and running right away.
Here's what to expect, starting with the Village East Cinema on Second Avenue at 12th Street (marquee photo above by Doug) ... which will have a new name...
Before the pandemic, the Village East Cinema showed movies that originally opened at the Angelika Film Center. Plus, the Village East Cinema is owned by City Cinemas, a branch of Reading International. The Angelika is also under the Reading International umbrella. So they're keeping it all in the Reading family.We’re reopening Friday March 5, and we are excited to welcome @CityCinemasNYC to the Angelika Film Center family, as Village East by Angelika and Cinema 123 by Angelika!

In case you are looking for some movie-theater-quality popcorn to enhance your home streaming/DVD viewing... City Cinemas Village East on Second Avenue at 12th Street started (as of yesterday) selling very large to-go bags of popcorn from 4 to 7 p.m. ...
The bags are $20, and it will likely last until, say, 2033...
...it's also a way to help support the theater during the COVID-19 PAUSE...

Reminders: Movies are $8 before noon every day at the Village East on 2nd Avenue
Just a reminder about movie prices at the City Cinemas Village East on Second Avenue and 12th Street: Screenings before noon are $8 every day. (Regular ticket price is $15.) In case you want to catch up on a movie during this holiday break...
I went to see "Honey Boy" and "JoJo Rabbit" on recent weekdays before noon. Aside from the price, it's a nice way to enjoy a film without the crowds. There were two other people in my "Honey Boy" screening. "JoJo Rabbit" played to 15-20 people the other morning.
