Clearview Cinemas brings back disasterous (and campy) movie experiences with 'Chelsea Classics'

While Hollywood continues its obsession with New York disaster films (I am Legend and Cloverfield), each Thursday during the month of January 2008, Manhattan theater-goers can pay $6.50 admission to a watch a handful of classic disaster films that, if nothing else, difuse the pain and agony.

On Thursday nights, Clearview Cinemas in Chelsea hosts a unique movie experience it calls Chelsea Classics. The movie theater typically screens a classic Hollywood film; usually, the featured film has a theme that appeals to the gay sensibility of the demographic of theater-goers of that Manhattan neighborhood. For example, a popular film in the Chelsea Classics program is Mommie Dearest, like that.

Before each film is screened, there is a pre-show that you can trust to be hilarious, but I feel the need to share a bit of caution: the campy live show by the personality Hedda Lettuce is inteded for Mature Audiences.
