KUNG FU PANDA . . . coming 7/16!

11 Jul

kung fu panda

In the Valley of Peace, Po the Panda finds himself chosen as the Dragon Warrior despite the fact that he is, well, a little on the portly side. Not to mention lazy. And knows sweet f*%k all about martial arts. But this of course does not stop him from rising to the challenge of becoming a master warrior and leading The Furious Five in a battle against the sinister snow leopard Tai Lung! If you like your martial arts heroes black and white and furry all over, then this one’s for you!

Kung Fu Panda is brought to you by Red Hook Bait and Tackle and The Good Fork.

And what’s on the menu for dinner you might ask? Well, Kung Pao Panda of course!

(We hear it tastes just like chicken.)

And for our vegetarian friends, there’s Kung Pao Tofu!

(Tastes just like panda.)

Both are served with rice and just $7. Yum! And in addition to Steve’s Key Lime Pies, our friend’s from Scout’s Honor Ice Cream will be making the drive all the way from Vermont to bring you their handcrafted frozen treats. Ska-doosh!

Come and enjoy free food from many of our sponsors and see Francesco Saviano’s new film Two Birds.

E.T. . . . coming 8/21

17 Aug

UPDATE–SPECIAL FOOD VENDOR:

In addition to the spectacular food being provided by The Good Fork and snacks from Home/Made and Steve’s, we’re very fortunate to have John Vitko of Scout’s Honor Creamery in Vermont here on Tuesday evening to sell his handcrafted treats:

Chocolate Chip Cookie Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich: $4
Vanilla Ice Cream Brownie Sandwich: $5
French Macaroon Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich: $6
Popcicles (grapefruit, cucumber mint, strawberry lemon, peaches n cream): $3
Plus a special pop just for adults–Mojito!: $4

We cannot wait!

***

This Tuesday join us at the pier for one of the great summer family films of all time. E.T. helped define the summer blockbuster with its wildly popular boy-meets-baby-alien-and-goes-head-to-head-against-nepharious-U.S.-government-forces-to-protect-him tale. It features Henry Thomas; Peter Coyote; Drew Barrymore, in what is surely her finest screen performance to date; and a contender for the world’s most expensive long distance call. Can you imagine if they remade E.T. today? He and Elliott would be stuck in development hell at iTunes trying to get their intergalactic telephony app approved. Ah, simpler times. But I digress…

Tuesday’s movie is brought to you by Bait & Tackle. Dinner by The Good Fork — Japanese Short Rib Curry with Farm Vegetables and Purple Rice, mmmm. Only $8! Snacks by Home/Made and Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pies.

And don’t forget to come early to catch a classic Popeye cartoon courtesy of Sunny’s Bar.

As always, festivities begin circa 8:30 PM.

FAST AND THE FURIOUS still showing

16 Aug

Dear rain, go away. Don’t come back another day. In fact, go to Texas or somewhere with a drought. Love, Red Hook Summer Movies.

Still …. don’t despair. We’re still showing THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS tonight. We’re just moving to our rain location: RED HOOK BAIT & TACKLE. (Due to soggy turf. Even if it’s not raining, it’s too wet to set in the lawn.)

Yes, it is kid friendly. (But yes, it is a bar. Red Hook has limited community spaces.)

You can find it at the corner of Van Brunt and Pioneer streets.

8:30 p.m.

Karate Kid NOT rained out

9 Aug

We will be showing the KARATE KID at the Red Hook Bait and Tackle (Van Brunt and Pioneer streets).

Still at 8:30 p.m.

Good Fork will still be serving Mr. Miyagi Bento Boxes for dinner (come early and get one!)

Plus, this means we can drink! Here’s the Karate Kid drinking game:

Take a drink every time:

  • Danny Russo gets beat up.
  • Danny Russo looks beat up.
  • Whenever you see the Cobra Kai logo.
  • Every time some karate move is happening.

Now that almost makes it worth not having the movie at the pier!

Tonight! KARATE KID

9 Aug

Karate here. Karate no here.

Actually, Karate at Valentino Pier at 8:30 p.m. tonight. We’re showing the original KARATE KID with Daniel and Mr. Miyagi.

Sponsors RED HOOK BAIT & TACKLE and THE GOOD FORK will be serving dinner: Mr. Miyagi Bento Boxes. Come see what surprise will be inside.

Plus, we’ll have popcorn from Home/Made for $1 per bag (all proceeds benefit the film series).

IN CASE OF RAIN: We will be showing the film at the Red Hook Bait and Tackle, located at Van Brunt and Pioneer streets. Watch this site — and Twitter handle @redhookfilms — for details.

Check out this stunning photo of Karin and Barry from the B&T doing their best Karate Kid impression. (Photo by Craig LaCourt.)

August 9: Karate Kid

4 Aug

Daniel-san!

Don’t miss the original KARATE KID, showing on August 9 at Valentino Pier. We’ll even have Mr. Miagyi Bento Boxes from night’s sponsors, THE GOOD FORK and THE RED HOOK BAIT AND TACKLE.

Here’s Barry and Karin, from Bait and Tackle, doing their best Karate Kid impression. (Photo by Craig LaCourt) But are they Daniel and Miyagi or Cobra Kai?

Wax on, wax off!

We have a winner!

28 Jul

Don’t you wish you could be this cool?

The evening’s sponsor, Movers Not Shakers, raffled off two skateboards to the die-hard fans who stayed to watch Lords of Dogtown despite the torrential downpour that sent us all scurrying to the Red Hook Bait and Tackle.

Hillary and her family stayed to see the skate flick, and she walked away with the coveted board! (First skateboard, first time in a bar, and first rained-out summer movie. We made her some memories.)

Thank you to everyone who braved the dark skies to come out for the movie. And a special thanks to everyone who helped save the equipment and get the party restarted at Bait!
