The Action Pack's WEDDING SINGER QUOTE-ALONG!

The Action Pack presents THE WEDDING SINGER QUOTE-ALONG
Thursday, April 1 at 7pm :: Alamo Ritz
Get tickets HERE!

It's time to party like its 1985! Seriously this could be mistaken for a totally '80s sing-along with the amount of goods we get to wail out during this movie, Boy George, George Michael, David Bowie--and you even get to hear old Rosie bust out Rapper's Delight. Couple that with the fact that this is Adam Sandler's best comedy, and you got yourself a night to remember. Come on out and join The Action Pack for this hybrid sing/quote-along as we watch Robbie Hart sing our favorite wedding songs and try to romance Julia away from that dick Glenn Gulia. What kind of name would Julia Gulia be anyway?! Not only will we be busting out our usual bag of tricks with some prop handouts, but we'll also be serving up a specialty menu with Rosie's oversized meatballs and rum and cokes. Just look out, we might wanna watch your face as you enjoy them. (Greg MacLennan)

UNBRIDALED Bridal Boutique will sponser a photobooth to have your awesome 80's photos taken at the APRIL 1ST SHOW only (no foolin'). "Special Prizes" for Best Robbie Hart look-a-like and, Oh my GOD! A $500 UNBRIDALED GIFT CERTIFICATE to the BEST 80's Bride costume!

PRODIGAL SONS at the Ritz

PRODIGAL SONS - Tuesday 3/30 and Wedneday 3/31 at the Ritz
Advance tickets available here


On Tuesday and Wednesday this week, we’ll be showing PRODIGAL SONS, a new documentary that is so fantastic that you’ll barely believe it’s a true story. We’re very lucky to be able to screen this small, independent film. The reason the film jumped out to us, and why we fought to bring it out to Austin even when the distributors had no plans to show the film here, is because it has so much heart. The story is a soul-wrenching tale of a family struggling through problems that threaten to tear it apart, but is able to maintain a fascinating and non-sentimental tone. The director, who is also the subject of the film, is able to convey the small details of her family so beautifully that you will feel like a cousin, uncomfortably watching as your family unfurls at a Christmas dinner.

“Superb. No one could make this believable if it were fiction.” - David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle

Two estranged brothers decide to end their separation at their twenty-year high school reunion. One brother has had a horrible car accident leaving him with severe brain damage, prone to troubling and violent mood swings. The other, who was captain of the football team, is now a woman and is bringing her girlfriend along for support. Their reunion turns from bittersweet to frightening, and always leaves you flabbergasted and enraptured. This fantastic story about mental illness, gender dilemmas, and family is so shocking and incredible that it is hard to believe…even before the shocking genetic link to Orson Welles comes into play! Director and subject Kimberly Reed is able to capture the mania, confusion and complications involved in her injured family.

Music Monday: DANCING OUTLAW w/ Director Live

MUSIC MONDAY: DANCING OUTLAW w/ Director Live!
Tonight at the Alamo Ritz
$2 tickets available here

Director Jacob Young is in town to present his cult-legendary documentary about cult-legend wildman Jesco White- this is like meeting a man who fell into a blackhole and lived to tell about it. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!

Join us for the classic documentary about Jesco White, greatest living Appalachian mountain dancer, hell-raiser, glue-sniffer and all-around hero for our times.

"In the dark recesses of the hills of Boone County, West Virginia lives a man named Jesse (Jesco) White. Around 1990, the eccentric "genius" of this Appalachian everyman became the subject of an irreverent documentary titled DANCING OUTLAW, and whether viewed as a comedy or a study in psychosis, the video has managed to catch the attention of quite a few people...This sociological milestone takes the viewer on an enlightening trip into the lives of people in a part of America that is shrouded in mystery, folklore and (not always unjustified) stereotypes. Go tell your friends... This is required viewing, especially after a few bottles of cough syrup". (Jake Harvey, FilmZone)

Korean Thriller MOTHER is a Must See

MOTHER
Now playing Alamo South Lamar
Advance tickets available here

"A superb murder mystery, with twists coming thick and fast yet always at the right moments. "
Maggie Lee, Hollywood Reporter

"The film is labyrinthine and deceptive, and not in a way we anticipate. It becomes a pleasure for the mind."
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

"Another must-see marvel of horror, comedy, and impeccable filmmaking by the Korean director Bong Joon-ho."
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

"It is the subtlety and dexterity of Bong Joon-ho that lifts his thriller to the ranks of Hitchcockian suspense."
Marjorie Baumgarten, The Austin Chronicle

From the director of THE HOST!

Hye-ja is a single mom to 27-year-old Do-joon. Her son is her raison d'être. Though an adult in years, Do-joon is naÏve and dependent on his mother, and a constant source of anxiety, often behaving in ways that are foolish or simply dangerous. Walking home alone one night down a nearly empty city street, he encounters a young girl who he follows for a while before she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning, she is found dead in an abandoned building and Do-joon is accused of her murder. Thanks to an inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force, Do-joon's case is quickly closed, but his mother refuses to let this be the end of the story. Trusting no one, Hye-ja's maternal instincts kick into overdrive, and she sets out to find the girl's killer and prove her son's innocence.

Corey Haim Tribute: THE LOST BOYS

Corey Haim Tribute Show: THE LOST BOYS
Sun, Mar 21 & Mon, Mar 22 :: Alamo Ritz
Get your tickets HERE!

Beloved 80s teen idol Corey Haim tragically passed this past month, and to honor him we are playing his greatest film, THE LOST BOYS. Come and remember the greatest Corey in all of his glory, avoiding vampires and cracking wise.

David: How are those maggots?
Michael: Huh?
David: Maggots, Michael. You're eating maggots. How do they taste?

No horror movie captured the excitement, humor and plain weirdness of the '80s like THE LOST BOYS, and its bloodthirsty legacy is still undead and kicking over two decades later! Teen brothers Michael and Sam (Jason Patric and Corey Haim) move in with their grandpa in Santa Carla, 'The Murder Capital of the World.'

Turns out that a pack of leatherclad bad boy vampires led by Kiefer Sutherland is responsible for the body count, and Michael finds himself drawn into a terrifying, nightcrawling transformation. Luckily, local comic shop clerks/monster hunters The Frog Brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander) are up to the task of taking down the venomous threat once and for all! Packed with shocks, laughs, unbelievable '80s fashion and a soundtrack that includes the most ripping sax-rock jam in the history of earholes!

"Come on, be one of us"
