Black Shampoo + Impossibly Funky

"The coolest film book of the year that you most likely do not know about."
- Rod Lott, BOOKGASM

"Obsessive, indulgent, wildly erratic, yet Impossibly Funky still warms my hardened critic's heart because of the burning passion for movie-going of the writer."
- Gerald Peary, THE BOSTON PHOENIX

Mike White brings his new book Impossibly Funky to Brooklyn along with the movie BLACK SHAMPOO, one of the wildest blaxploitation films ever made.

Directed by Greydon Clark, the film stars John Daniels as Mr. Jonathan (is that Mr. Jonathan-Something or Mr. Something-Jonathan?), the sexiest hairdresser on the Sunset Strip. This badass Lothario is doing a lot more than hair. However, true love works right under his nose. The salon's receptionist, Brenda (Tanya Boyd), falls head over heels for Jonathan. Will her past with the mob steal her away? Watch as good squares off against evil with a flurry of chainsaws, pool cues, and hair curlers.

Author, filmmaker, and provocateur Mike White will introduce BLACK SHAMPOO (his favorite film) and sign copies of Impossibly Funky: A Cashiers du Cinemart Collection after the show.

90 minutes. Presented in English. Presented in DVD. Rated R.

(March 2011) ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY called reRun one of 8 nationwide theaters "redefining the moviegoing experience."

(April 2011) EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY praised reRun's gourmet popcorn as one of 4 nationwide theaters "giving their classic snack an upgrade."

(October 2011) TIME OUT NEW YORK singled out reRun as a "DIY trailblazer," saying they "love reRun's laid-back vibe" and "friendly staff."

(December 2011) TRAVEL AND LEISURE hailed reRun, among 9 others, as one of "The World's Coolest Movie Theaters."

(February 2012) VARIETY says reRun "raises bar for indies" and is "among the only theaters in the U.S. that provides newfound theatrical and ancillary opportunities to films without a [distributor]."

reRun is reBar's independent cinema, located just down the hall from the restaurant. Featuring 48 reclaimed car seats, full bar, gourmet snack counter, and a 12-foot screen, reRun offers just the kind of intimate art-house theater experience you'd expect from the creators of the funky gastropub reBar.

reRun provides a large theater AV experience. An all-digital 1080p HD projector, coupled with a monstrous JBL 7.1 surround pro-audio sound system make the movies projected on the twelve foot screen come alive in a sparkling show. The bar features two rotating draft taps, a broad selection of bottled craft beers, a selection of sustainable, organic, and biodynamically farmed wines, a full liquor cabinet for your imbibing pleasure, and traditional and creative snacks created by reBar's Executive Chef Jeremy Leech.

During off-hours reRun is available for private rental. Children's birthdays, corporate off-site meetings, and private get-togethers are all possible in the theater. Call Veronica at (917) 583-9343 for private bookings. Catering available for your parties through reBar.
