Returns to NYC in New 4K Restoration: Can She Bake a Cherry Pie

can-she-bakeHenry Jaglom’s quietly offbeat 1983 film Can She Bake a Cherry Pie? is getting a new 4K restoration and a theatrical run at Metrograph beginning February 20.

Shot entirely on the Upper West Side, the film stars Karen Black as a woman navigating love and loneliness in Jaglom’s loose, conversational style. The movie favors lived-in moments over plot, letting scenes wander in ways that feel more like real life than scripted drama.

The film has picked up cult status over the years, helped by an unusual supporting cast that includes Orson Welles, Frances Fisher, and a pre-Seinfeld Larry David. The new restoration, sourced from a 4K scan of the original 35mm materials, preserves the film’s rough, intimate feel while giving it new clarity on the big screen.

For fans of New York–set cinema and indie films that play by their own rules, Can She Bake a Cherry Pie? is a welcome return.

Sharknado Origins Announced as Seventh Film in the Franchise

sharknado-originsThe Asylum has confirmed a new entry in the Sharknado franchise titled Sharknado Origins, with production set to begin later this year and a summer 2026 release planned.

Director Anthony Ferrante will return, with casting to be announced.

The film is a prequel set before the 2013 original, following teenage versions of Fin and April as the first-ever shark-filled storm hits during a summer at the beach.

The franchise previously ran for six films between 2013 and 2018 and became a cult hit for its over-the-top disaster-comedy premise.
