Stop Motion Mania TONIGHT at the Ritz!


7:00pm tonight at the Ritz!

FILMMAKERS LIVE IN PERSON!

The Alamo is proud to bring back the first feature-length no-rules stop-motion action comedy to star only action figures: Paul Hanley and Kieran Healy's VIVA THE 'NAM. VIVA depicts the bizarre adventures of Pvt. Joe Holmes, a marine stationed in Vietnam's "I Corps" from 1968-1969. The last of a family line that has lost a man in every single American conflict, Holmes will have to overcome communist armies, Russian Roulette rounds, USO riots, bloodthirsty drill instructors, leeches, drunk drivers, an M16-wielding Charlton Heston, and poop-smoking Frenchmen to make it out of Vietnam alive! Impossibly intricate, the film was made over the course of eight years (!!), a sprawling epic the likes of which GI Joe stop-motion animation has never seen before (and will probably never see again...unless someone wants to give the filmmakers a lot of money). Don't miss this opportunity to witness cinematic history while you bust a few guts.

Get your tickets here!!
