WEDNESDAY 14 JULY, Prince Charles Cinema<\/A> 8:45pm <\/B>: FOXY BROWN<\/I><\/B> <\/p>\n

This blaxploitation classic has it all: sleaze, violence, badasss mamas, nasty drug pushers, mean inner city streets and a funky score by Willie Hutch. But what makes it truly special is the formidable Pam ‘a whole lotta woman’ Grier (who returned as Jackie Brown in Tarantino’s homage to the genre), handing out magnificently spirited ass-whippings to the bad guys in this outré tale of revenge in the ghetto. Exploitation specialist Jack Hill directs, and Foxy’s no-good brother is played by Antonio Vargas, better known as Huggy Bear in Starsky and Hutch<\/I>.<\/p>\n

\t Guest speaker:<\/B> Rebecca Johnson, award-winning writer\/filmmaker, director of Top Girl<\/I>, the Brixton-set story of a fearless young girl coming of age in a man’s world.<\/p>\n
