"Come to Socrates Sculpture Park and sample regional cuisine from neighborhood restaurants, picnic on the grass as the sun sets over the city, enjoy performances by local musicians and dancers and, as the sky darkens, see exceptional international films on a large format screen - all set against the spectacular backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. Tonights film is Knife in the Water with Leon Niemczyk. A handsome young hitchhiker joins a married couple on a weekend yacht trip, setting a dark psychological drama in motion in Roman Polanski's debut feature film."

Continuing down the yellow brick road of slacker films at Riverflicks, we find one of my very favorites, Clerks. It was Kevin Smith's first big film and it gave us memorable quotes such as "You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work." And as always, the movie and the popcorn are free.
