for some decidedly reckless onscreen output. This season will olfet a veritable explosion of creative

celluloid, aimed at more than just the adrenal gland. Here are a few shining examples...

REN0 911!: MIAMIThe Washoe (ounty Sheriff's Department of Reno, Nevada has been summoned to Miami Beach after a terroristplot disrupts the (ity's national police convention. lt's up to the world's most ac(ident-prone pea(emakers to bring

whales to exploding heliropters to the most inappropriate short shorts your eyes can take.

BRIDGE TO TERABITHIATwo new fiiends create an imaginary land in order to deal with their real-world problems. However, they discover

a bonafide magical kingdom in the forest, where they are deemed king and queen. BRIDGE T0 TIRABITHIA is a

haunting tale of the triumphs and tragedies of childhood, spi(ed up with an otherworldly mystery. An adaptation

of Katherine Paterson's 1978 Newbery Award-winning children's book, the new Disney release stands to be this

season! CHR0NICLES 0F NARNIA.

only to discover his mentor might be the country's greatest security risk. Dennis Haysbert supports alongside Laura

GLA55, with a based-on-true-events story played as a straight-shooting affair; in other words, no car chases, fights

or explosions, but enough intrigue to keep all systems on overload.

ZODIACBased on one of the most famous crime cases in U5 history. Two 5an Francisco (hronicle employees (Jake Gyllenhaal

and Mark Ruffalo) work alongside a homicide inspector (Robert Downey Jr.) t0 learn the identity of the serial killer

on the same mission, but they were never heard from again. Danny Boyle follows up 28 DAYS LATER with his second

foray into the srience fiction genre. We're primed for his vision (the film's set 50 years in the future) and the social

From its J0hn Lennon-approved, nearly fanatical following in the'70s duling midnight streenings

to its vari0us bootlegged in(arnations and forever-announted, never-materialized sequels (at one

point staning Marilyn Manson), Alejandro Jodorowsky's EL T0P0 remains an enduring cult-film ex'

perience. EL T0P0 opens with a passage that (ould be an existential ioutney for one's soul or a spooi

of a Sergio leone spaghetti Western: The bearded, leather-clad gunfighter El Topo (Jodorowsky him-

self) and his young son (Brontis Jodorowsky) ride through the desert and into a hamlet of bloodill

decimated people and animals. From then on, it's a winding, spiraling toad of evil bandits, mystical

foes and whip-cratking dykes, spiked with indelible, inexplicable imagery. "l am Godi'El Topo at

one point intones, and Jodorowsky completely means it: Playing deity in front of and behind the

camera, the director uses film as a direct pipe into his own mind, and the bursting valise of ideas.

moments that defy ordinary teadings while inviting (demanding, really) audience involvement via

DIR. ROBERT TOWNSEND, 1987,93 MIN,35MM, R

It's tough being an Eddie Murphy fan nowadays. Moviegoers quirkly fotget how funny someone used to be when all they

do is make the same sequels every summer. The Eddie Murphy of today is often a complete stranger, with only very small

glimpses of his former manic self peeking through the big-budget artifrce. Think about what's funnier - Eddie Murphy

in his fantastic live concert frlms or NUTTY PR0FESS0R 2? This movi€ opens with a (ute sequence with Eddie as a young

boy, entertaining and eventually shocking his family with some decidedly nasty jokes. I ncidentally, this sequence features

SamuelL.JacksonasEddie'sunde! Whatfollowsis90minutesofsomeoftheharshestandstrongeststand-upyou'll

ever see. Eddie rovers his favorite topics - sex, money and women. While many claim that his over-the-top views mask

some misogynistic or sexist views, I rhoose to see it as a performer playing a role. At this point in hh career, Eddie just

had his audience wrapped around his finger, and this guy knows how to work a room. While lots of comedians rely on

extreme profanity to just shock people, fddie used his mouth as a comedi< weapon. His skills as an impersonator are

equally impresive. Try to watch his takes on Richard Pryor and Bill (osby and not crack a smile. And as always, some of

Eddie's best material revolves around his own family. (5cott Weinberg,EFilm Critic)

and tender songs about what it's like to live love and to sing songs in the rain,

because l've seen love come, l've seen love go, and l've seen it die in vain.

5H0T D0WN! lN A BTAZE 0F! - sorry. lt's just that l'M EX(ITED FOR THIS SH0W.

Last year's L0VE BITES was one of the best timet l've ever had in a movie

theater and even though we billed it as an anti-Valentinel show fllled with

slow songs of heartbreak and girls who left the long-haired guitar players

who loved them we still had people there on first dates, we had one woman

propose to her boyfiiend, and l'm still holding out hope that a couple of

people went home that night and conceived their first accidental thild. Ihere

are still no reports of a Love Bites baby, though, so this year we're pulling

out all the stops and designing a show with so much balladic power that itwill literally impregnate each and every person in the theater, so make sure

you?e wearing ptote(tion. We've got Steve Peny (in Journey and flying solo),

REO Speedwagon, Billy ldol, Bonnie lyler, Wanant, Bad English, Jeffetson

Starship, Bon .lovi, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses, Foreigner, and so much more.

Plus, before the show we'll have a Worst Love Stoly contest. (Henri) )

You're going to be hearing a lot about grindhouse movies over the next few months thanks to the QUENTIN

TARANTIN0 and ROBERT R0DRIGUEZ movie of the same name. Here at the Alamo we?e giving you a unique

opportunity to see some ofthe real shit. Since 2001 the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown has been hosting a unique

series ofexploitation classics culled from private collections, abandoned warehouses, even dumpsters. We present

a peerless selection of honor, sexploitation, action and more, mostly from the golden era ofthe 60's and 70's.

Many ofthese films are so obscure that little or nothing has ever been written about them. Some ofthem are bad,

all of them are enjoyable, and a rare few will change your life. Best of all it's absolutely free. We think of it as an

extension course in film history and a heaven-sent escape from the crushing lameness ofthe real world.

fiom everybody. She takes on Woody Strode and his tough bunch of carnival workets with the help of

arrobat Marc Porel. The movie is played as a bload farce and it's a crazy love story to boot. Evetyone in

the movie is having a great time and there's a contagious feeling of mischief and conspiracy between

film maker and audience. The climax of the movie is a huge btawl in which Di Leo's entire stock

company of hoods tear down the whole carnival while trying to keep a straight face. lf that doesn't

grab you, Ursula Andress gets naked again and again and again. see it with someone you love! (Lars)

This is a completely insane Ftench crime-sex film with a gorgeous high contrast visual aestheti( and a

jumbled plot that exists for no other reason than to propel the viewet from one unsavory scene of sex ot

violence to another. A Rosetta Stone ofsleaze that l'm still trying to decipher. lt seems to be about a drug

and prostitution ring that puts a (ontrad out on its rivals. But the film was te-edited by the American

dhtributor to eliminate any time-wasting scenes of plot exposition 50 it's often hard to determine who

that naked woman is or why those junkies are beating that guy up. No complaints though. This movie is

like a cluster bomb of sex, violence and pure mid-60s Eutopean (ool. I teally can't tompare this to any other

movie. lt's more like an extended L5D hallucination or a particularly vicious black and white dream. Rare,

nubile teens of a formerly quiet seaside community are systematically slaughtered and/or impregnated

by a legion oftoxically metamorphosed sea creatures. Alro included is monster-mashing Native American

Jimmy Eagle, a ripping performance from a Shakey's Pizza Parlor band, a wacked-out Salmon Festival DJ

that producer Roger Corman went in later and added all the nudity and gore without her knowledge. lsn't

stakes auto races, winner-take-all. Enter a shadowy phantom in an otherworldly blatk car who ups the

ante to a race for their lives...a competition the degenerates are losing one by one. Probably because

the wraith's souped-up "lnterceptor" is so goddamn powerful that it splits (op (ars in two, crackles withlaser-lightning and creates explosions big enough to turn sand to glass. Featuring an equally blasting

synth metal soundtrack, animalistic villains and bona fide maniac (lint Howard sporting a chaotic afro,

THE WRAITH is the ultimate scifi/horror vengeance story of the VH5 generation. (Zack)

BETAln this tou(hingly intimate, unauthorized portrait of the great American photographerand filmmaker Robert Frank, director Gerald Fox takes the viewer deep inside the artist,spersonal and creative life. This fascinating journey is woven around on-camera interviewsin which Frank bares perhaps more than he intended. yet one leaves the film with thefeeling that Fox has managed to communicate something important about the realman behind the artist. Though he was born in Zurich in 1924, Frank has since become aconsummate New Yorker after moving to Manhattan in 1947. To demonstrate this, Foxshows Frank shuffling around an empty lot, unshaven and wryly inveighing against theyuppies who've invaded his once bohemian territory. With his second wife, the amiable

stulptress June Leal he lives between his Greenwich Village apartment and a house in the wilds of Nova Scotia. Hii career as a photographer is recalledin his startling pottraits of American working-dass folk, Welsh coal miners, and London bankers in their top hats. The strength and ;n;itivity of theseextraordinary photographs almost leaps offthe screen. Representing frank's film work are excerpts from his seminal 1959 pULL My DAISy codirertedwith Alfied Leslie (an improvisation on Jack Kerouar's play The Beat Generation) and ME AND MY BROTHtR (1 969) with Allen Ginsberg and GregoryCorso.

TV! Television! The Boob Tubel ln the 1950s this ingenious little piece offurniture gave Hollywood a run for its money as

Americans stayed home instead of going out to a theater. The movie industry responded by making movies Bigger and

with More Explosions, and so we kept going to the theater be(ause there were some spe(tades that just had to be seen

on the silver screen. This fall, the Alamo brought that shift full circle and started putting TV up on the silver s(reen, too,

because, come on - doesn't TV deserve the same amount of love and respe(t we give the movies thanks to the beauty

that is Tivo? Showtimes will be a half hour after the show starts on TV so that we can build up some time to skip thr0ugh

the (ommer(ials, but we still advise that you get to the theater 45 minutes before our showtime so you can get a good

seat, These shows are all FREE, but you can purchase a 55 food and beverage voucher online to reserve the 5eat that is

rightfully yours.
