Boston area Midnite Movie picks.

The original Piranha (1978) screens @the Somerville on 8/2. Joe Dante hits his stride here in a Roger Corman produced low budget horror classic / It’s the best time of the year to watch the amazingly funny Wet Hot American Summer (2001). One of the best comedic casts ever lather themselves in 80s camp movie cliche, all onscreen @the Coolidge on 8/2 & 8/3 / Post-apocalyptic Australia is the setting for the amazing and rarely screened Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior @the Somerville. Watch one of the most enjoyable of the post-apocalyptic lot on 8/17 / It’s ambiguous but Noir All Night @HFA will be showing some film noir at Midnite, we’re just not sure what it will be! It’s a surprise, no doubt being pulled from the HFA’s own deep archives. There will be a whole bunch of film noir screened before midnight and some after as well. Check it out on 8/31! – Dan Shea
