Bullitt at the Alamo Tonight!



The Alamo Drafthouse is showing Bullitt with the King of Cool Steve McQueen tonight.  If you like CGI Fast and Furious then you will absolutely love this cop action flick with real stunt drivers.  This movie features the best car chase scene of all time and won the Oscar for Best Editing to show for it.  So fasten your seat belts and meet me at the Alamo tonight.  And be sure to work your side of the street, I’ve got mine.

New Release Tuesday

A team of explorers travel through a wormhole in an attempt to ensure humanity's survival.  I am still kicking myself for not getting to the theater for this one.  This should be good and I like all parties involved in this sci-fi flick.

When a Las Vegas bodyguard with lethal skills and a gambling problem gets in trouble with the mob, he has one last play...and it's all or nothing.  I got a big man crush on the Statham and I can’t say I dislike anything he’s been in yet.  The dude is a stud.  This is a remake of 1986’s Heat with Burt Reynolds which I am not sure if I saw this because it’s not easy to decipher between this and Burt’s other movies of the same time period, Stick and Malone.  

This movie chronicles one woman's 1,100-mile solo hike undertaken as a way to recover from a recent catastrophe.  This is a good little drama where Reese really puts herself out there in every way and turns in a great performance.

During World War II, mathematician Alan Turing tries to crack the enigma code with help from fellow mathematicians.  This is not a war movie but a movie about war and seems interesting.  

A documentary that  follows the lives of two inner-city Chicago boys who struggle to become college basketball players on the road to going professional.  This doc was nominated for an Oscar and this is a Criterion release so it will rock.
