The Movie Bowl at Brooklyn Bowl: The Harder They Come
Some of you may have heard that the renowned Jimmy Cliff (Jamaican reggae and ska singer, musician and actor) has been rightfully selected for the 2010 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is perhaps best known among mass audiences for songs such as “Sitting in Limbo“, “You Can Get It If You Really Want“, and “Many Rivers to Cross” from the soundtrack to The Harder They Come (directed by Perry Henzel, 1972) which undeniably contributed to popularization of reggae across the world. Jimmy Cliff also appeared in the classic reggae movie which tells a story of a broke, young man arriving in Kingston and trying to make it in the recording business. But since nothing comes easy in life and our dreams often end up in the gutter, he turns to a life of crime instead and gets involved in a shoot-out with cops.
It’s a really good film if you haven’t seen it so Columbus circle Hostel Staff is thinking that it’s a great time to dust off the reggae classic and reserve tomorrow’s evening for the monthly Movie Bowl Screening organized by The Brooklyn Bowl and the L Magazine! What’s even better is that the film is free and there is a $2 beer special during the film. To refresh your memory check out the trailer below. The doors open at 6pm, you have to be 21 and over to get in though.
I enjoy reading the report, too. It′s easy to understand that a journey like this is the biggest event in ones
life.
Nice
