The FORT90 FILM CLUB is back with the second half of this month's double dose, which again serves as a supplement to the Criterion Channel's "New York Stories'' retrospective. No offense to the 63 films that were chosen on that end, but they still fall short of telling the whole story of the Big Apple, which B-Side hopes to rectify...

THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET - This pioneering Afrofuturist work is the perfect combination of blaxploitation cinema and, believe it or not, E.T. A fugitive alien slave, who is not only mute but also resembles a black man, crash lands on Earth, near Ellis Island. Eventually The Brother finds a home at Harlem bar, in part to his ability to easily fix broken arcade machines, but eventually comes the alien bounty hunters, who not only pose as immigration officers but are white.

LIQUID SKY - The perfect chaser to last week's The Foreigner is this bona fide cult hit, yet another No Wave flick; whereas the former serves as a time capsule of late 70s NYC, its portrait of early 80s is a sight to behold. As is the plot, which one reviewer summed up best with "Aliens crash land on Earth and attach themselves to a model's (head, then proceed to feed on a drug which can only be created by killing their victims at the point of orgasm with their host."

BORN IN FLAMES - The perfect counterpoint to Liquid Sky is Lizzie Borden's unabashedly feminist film that again feels like a documentary, but of an alternate reality in which the United States is a socialist democracy. Alas racial and gender inequity very much persists, hence why a coalition of women must band together to take down this alternate system, in a film that taps into Jean-Luc Godard's pseudo-science-fiction classic, one that also serves as a "how-to" guide for guerrilla filmmaking.

GOODNIGHT BROOKLYN: THE STORY OF DEATH BY AUDIO - A movie that's near and dear to everyone at Wonderville, this is quite simply the definitive document of Brooklyn's DIY music scene.

***SECRET MOVIE *** It's "a possibility of a key to a new era".
