Nicolas Cage Double Feature: Valley Girl + Con Air
Join us at the Rio Theatre on Friday, May 12 for a totally awesome 40th Anniversary screening of Martha Coolidge's 80's drenched, coming-of-age romantic comedy about a girl from the valley meeting and dating a punk from the city, VALLEY GIRL. As relevant a commentary about urban teen angst today as it was upon its release, the film is notable for its sweet story, iconic soundtrack, and the breakthrough performance from its charismatic anti-hero, Nicolas Cage. (Although Cage had appeared in small roles in films like FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, it was his turn here that, like, totally put him on our radar, ya know?)
Stick around and make it a Nicolas Cage double bill with CON AIR for one, like, bitchin' price!
