    New movie premieres like this really are events at the drafthouses in Austin, and I can only assume they are going to put on the same kind of production here in San Antonio. It's usually awesome stuff.

    Description:

    Join the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in celebrating the Anniversary of these cult classics with a Mad Max Movie Marathon!

    Mad Max: Rockatansky (Mel Gibson, in his first starring role) is a cop of the desolate, post-apocalyptic Australia of the "near future". He and his comrades have to regularly go after the goons and punks who terrorize the highways. Until Max quits his job and sets out to seek revenge for his partner's incineration, and wife and child are attacked by a gang of bikers. This energetic cult hit has some amazing stunt work and action scenes and is also subtly atmospheric.

    Beyond Thunder Dome: Mad Max (Mel Gibson), still wandering the post-apocalyptic Outback alone, stumbles across the corrupt Bartertown, led by Auntie En y (Tina Turner) and must compete in the "Thunder Dome".

    ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

    Description:

    ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW

    D. Richard O'Brien 1975 100 min. Rated R for polymorphous perversity

    All-American couple Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and fianceé Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) decide to visit their old professor. Unfortunately, their car breaks down outside a sinister house, and they are forced to stay the night. Inside the house Brad and Janet find a world filled with subversive sexuality.

    The film itself is filled with great tunes and a slightly loopy plot. So it's just like your common-or-garden musical in that way. Where the film really takes off is in its subversion of sexual mores as Brad and Janet break free from their normality.

    Richard O'Brien created "The Rocky Horror Show" for the London stage, and in addition to writing duties also shows up as butler Riff Raff. But the film belongs to Tim Curry as cross-dressing scientist Frank N Furter.

    And if you've seen it so many times that you're tired of singing along, you can gain new thrills by seeing it at the cinema and entering the world of audience participation. Dress up! Shout at the screen and enter conversations with the characters in the film! Many claim that audience participation is the essence of the Rocky Horror experience, and the film itself merely an excuse for this mayhem.

    Will it appeal to everyone? Certainly not. But for those willing to experiment with something a little bit different, a little bit outré, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" has a lot to offer.

Jerm Pollet, Owen Egerton, and John Erler sit front row center before the movie screen with microphones in hand. Bad actors and incompetent directors beware! These clever watchdogs, with keen observation and lightning fast wit, can actually turn your sloppy films into comic gold?and draw in big crowds!

    In Top Gun, serious-minded young studs set out to squash the Red Monster in the height of Cold War frenzy. This time, however, they mostly wear Village People moustaches, hang out in towels in the locker room or in tight jeans. Add a slapped on romantic angle, some inventive insult-slinging (ie:You Stink!), a cheesey '80's synthesizer beat and some of the best flight action ever filmed, and wha-la: instant '80's classic!

    Guys theres no WAY in that the new star wars movie is going to tie up what has happened in parts 1 and 2 (and what has happened in books taking place after part 2) successfully with the original part 4 star wars

    the entire concept of doing a trilogy of parts 4-6 before even writing the 1-3 trilogy is so flawed its unreal.
    not one of these new movies is better than any original star wars movie.

    Honestly, who really liked part 1? That little anakin kid totally ruined the franchise from the get-go.

    Then, the only thing that was really cool about part 2 was Yoda going AWOL on Count Dooku, and that happens in the last 10 minutes of the movie....

    What possible surprises or twists could part 3 offer? Anything they try to pull is just going to make it harder to tie in with parts 2 and 4

    i love star wars just as much as the next guy, but these new movies have totally ruined it for me. To me, they don't really exist in the same timeline as 4-6.
    krull and raising arizona own though

    Mike, we go all the time. Jess and I both like going there because you can drink while you watch a movie, and there are no kids. The special shows are simply hillarious as well. We've seen some ed up movies there for two bucks.

    The food is decent. They have a pretty decent beer selection. They have good specials certain nights of the week.

    We've gone to one Spurs game there, and it was great. They have easy trivia, and we ended up winning 3 movie passes even though Dallas kick their ass. Oh, and it's free to get in to watch the game there. So I spent 25 bucks on beer and dinner (it's not pricey at all) but I got 18 bucks worth of movie passes.

    'Mad Max' fans run afoul of the SAPD
    Web Posted: 04/18/2005 12:00 AM CDT

    Mariano Castillo
    Express-News Staff Writer

    Spooked motorists called police to report a scene so bizarre it could've come from a movie: a convoy of armed men apparently trying to hijack a tanker truck.

    In fact, it did come from a movie.

    "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior," to be exact.

    Eleven "Mad Max" movie buffs were arrested and charged Saturday afternoon with obstruction of a highway during their theatrical convoy from Boerne to the Alamo Draft House in San Antonio for a movie marathon.

    Police received several calls from motorists near U.S. 151 and Loop 410 who reported a "militia" armed with machine guns surrounding a tanker truck, a police report states.

    The guns were fake and the tanker truck was part of the act, but two of the collared movie buffs were also charged with possession of prohibited knives.

    Someone in the group told police that they were filming a do entary. But instead of sympathy, they got a citation for filming without a permit.

    One of the organizers of the event, Chris Fenner, said the arrests were unfair to the group.

    Fenner said he was riding a motorcycle behind the tanker truck, and the rest of the convoy was lined up behind him, not speeding or weaving in traffic.

    Fenner had even e-mailed police spokesman Gabe Trevino to give the Police Department a heads-up on the event and invite officers to attend.

    Along the route to the theater, Fenner had to pull over for a little while, and he arrived at the Alamo Draft House last, only to see a group of police cars there.

    "I thought, wow, what a great turnout by the San Antonio police," Fenner said.

    Some cops found the situation humorous, but some others were quite agitated and made the arrests, said Fenner, who was confounded that anyone would have confused the costumed crew for a real threat.

    "I honestly don't know how that could be, because 'Road Warrior' was so over the top," he said.

    About 25 people participated in the convoy, some from across the country, and more than twice that number were expected to attend the movie marathon.

    Most were die-hard "Mad Max" fans, like Fenner.

    He remembers watching the first "Mad Max" with his father and the second on a date with the woman who would be his future bride.

    "I really like cars and motorcycles, and they're great car and motorcycle movies," he said.

    The convoy was part of an event dubbed "Road War 151," which was to culminate with the movie marathon.

    The marathon was canceled after the arrests.

    According to the Web site roadwarusa.com, actor Vernon Wells, who portrayed the character "Wez," was to appear at the marathon.

    Of those arrested, Jeffrey Kuykendall, 25, was charged with three counts of obstruction of a highway and possession of a prohibited knife. William Rodriguez, 20, faced one count each.

    The others, charged with single counts of obstruction were Fenner, 42; Sean Richmond, 20; Joseph Goss, 45; Kevin Wright, 35; Robert Castro, 35; Manuel Salgado, 25; Gary Minter, 43; Karol Bactoszynski, 29; Christopher Medellin, 35; and Steven Shelton, 58.
