This Week in Screening 8/11-8/17
Friday 8/11
Everytime this is shown it’s the movie event of the year!
Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure | Blue Starlite Downtown
Also playing at the Alamo on 8/13
A real American Hero.
The Princess Bride | Blue Starlite Downtown
Inconceivable.
TOKYO POP | Austin Film Society
This looks really sweet. Kind of a reprieve as the Lates series has been dark as of late.
Saturday 8/12
The Truman Show | Paramount Theatre
Such a referenced movie.
Starring Nicolas Cage. I always like watching movies where he’s supposed to be the hearthrob. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Sunday 8/13
101 Dalmatians | Paramount Theatre
I’ve always loved the title sequence in this movie. I feel like it’s an influence on Monsters Inc as well.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets | Alamo Drafthouse
The second one.
Still so relevant. You’re gonna want to scream out of your window.
Enter the Dragon | Cinemark | Violet Crown
It’s the 50th Anniversary.
Shrek 2 Swamp Party | Alamo Drafthouse
They are going to hand out props.
The movie Heathers with a brunch menu.
It’s general admission which I don’t know that I’ve ever seen before at this theater.
Monday 8/14
Presented by Hyperreal Film Club.
Another great Drag Road Trip Movie.
They should make this a genre.
Coraline (remastered) | Cinemark | Regal
Henry Selic, who really made Nightmare Before Christmas, also made this movie. They appear to be showing it in 2D.
They are showing a movie that’s coming out soon before it’s release date so they can’t tell you which one
The Toxic Avenger Part II | Alamo Drafthouse
It looks like Alamo is gonna do a Toxie series. It’s more fun to watch Troma movies with a crowd.
Love this movie. Maybe my favorite movie soundtrack, too.
Tuesday 8/15
Animal House | Paramount Theatre
I’ve heard this doesn’t age well.
AN ADOLESCENT GIRL | Austin Film Society
Part of the Essential Cinema series.
Directed by Jeanne Moreau.
She only directed three movies and they are gonna show them all. As a completist I appreciate this.
Directed by Emma Seligman of Bottoms and starring Rachel Sennott of Bottoms and Bodies Bodies Bodies.
Wednesday 8/16
Ferris Bueller's Day Off | Paramount Theatre
That darn kid.
Oldboy (2003) | Alamo Drafthouse
There were earlier screenings but they all sold out. These are going fast. Will also play at the Austin Film Society starting on 8/19
Thursday 8/17
Such a great movie.
I’m gay and I watch a lot of movies
