Join us Saturday Oct. 4 for a special revival screening of the epic 1985 action flick "Commando" hosted by none other than the legendary Baltimore comedian Stavros Halkias aka Stavvy!Given his choice of all the films of the past 100 years, Stavvy picked a true classic, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in peak form, aka welding large guns in the 1980s.
Stavvy will introduce the film (he will not be doing a standup routine).
We just announced this and tickets are already going fast; it will most likely sell out in advance.
This is part of the 2025 New/Next Film Festival, presented by Baltimore Public Media at The Charles Theatre Oct. 2-5.
Here is the plot of the film, as if it actually matters:
Retired Special Forces soldier John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) lives with daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano) in isolation, but his privacy is disturbed by former commander Franklin Kirby (James Olson), who warns him that his fellow soldiers are getting killed one by one. After Kirby leaves, Jenny is kidnapped by former Latin American dictator Arius (Dan Hedaya), who wants Matrix to restore him to power. Instead, Matrix sets out to take down the rogue leader and rescue his daughter.
Support for the 2025 New/Next Film Festival comes from the Deutsch Foundation, SAGIndie, Maryland Film Office, BakerArtist.org, Leidy Foundation, Baltimore Community Foundation, Whiting-Turner, Moxie Chocolatier, Sanity Lounge and Modera Wealth.
