Special Screening

Foleyvision is BACK!

Rated Unknown; 94min
Alamo Website: Foleyvision features some of the weirdest foreign films ever made, shown with their original soundtrack turned off. Instead, all of the voices, music, and sound effects are performed live in the theater, hilariously synced to the film, before your very eyes (and ears)! Now, the world's most unique film-viewing experience is returning to tackle jolly old Saint Nick in the most riotously bizarre holiday movie you'll see in this lifetime! This holiday season, Foleyvision takes on an incredibly ludicrous Christmas movie from south of the border that features your favorite laughing fat man in a red suit versus your favorite laughing skinny man in a red suit. And this time, it's personal. But when this turf war is over, the only casualty will be your abdominal muscles, sore from laughing for over an hour an a half straight. Watching this movie at Christmas time with the full Foleyvision treatment is one of the most extravagant joys those of us with hopelessly warped minds can hope to experience.

Rated NR; 89min; Director:John Waters (1974)
Alamo Website:  Nice girls don't wear cha-cha heels and this holiday season Hey Homo! is bringing you the movie that proved it. If you have already seen Dawn Davenport (Divine) beat her mother with a Christmas tree then you know why you need to watch it again as part of a great big Homo Holiday celebration. For those unfortunate souls that have never witnessed Dawn later beating her teenage daughter into unconsciousness with a chair, this December is your chance to repent and see FEMALE TROUBLE the way it should be seen; on 35mm on the big screen with a whole big bunch of boozing homos. I don't want to ruin it, but just in case it doesn't sound filthy enough you should all know that the disgusting behavior portrayed in this film doesn't end with mere domestic violence. There's still a human bird cage, a crime ring, and full frontal to help convince you. FEMALE TROUBLE, arguably the best and most perverse of the early John Water's collection, brings back the entire PINK FLAMINGOS cast for a film that is nonstop total indulgence for our depraved and filthy-minded audience.

Rated R; 110min; Director:Jay Chandrasekhar
Alamo Website:  How did this film become an Alamo holiday tradition? When brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse travel to Germany to spread their grandfather's ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a centuries old underground beer games competition -- "Beerfest," the secret Olympics of beer drinking. The brothers receive a less-than-warm welcome from their German cousins, the Von Wolfhausens, who humiliate them, slander their relatives, and finally cast them out of the event. Vowing to return to defend their country and family's honor, the Wolfhouse boys assemble a ragtag dream team of beer drinkers and gamers to return and restore the honor of their once-proud suds-guzzling name. Broken Lizard's comedic take on Oktoberfest and competitive drinking may just be the single greatest feat in cinematic history. Who can say? To be honest, we can never really remember the ending because we're always trying to keep up with the drinking onscreen.

Alamo Website:  With Best Drug Story contest before the film. 
Alejandro Jodorowsky's most daring film, as well as THE celluloid mind-roaster of all time! An epic hallucination crawling with wall-to-wall mega-weirdness, in which Christ, The White Master and a pack of symbolic thieves (each named after a planet, and each representing a different ill of society) link up to raid The Holy Mountain and steal its secrets. This pic would cost a billion dollars to make nowadays, and its first half hour of in-your-face imagery (crucified, skinned animals; storm troopers; cripples; flowers blooming from stigmata; exploding toads) is like prime Fellini on really prime Peyote. Outrageous, pretentious, unbelievable, and unforgettable. There will never be another film remotely like it! (Steven Puchalski, Shock Cinema)

Alamo Website:  Outrageous but true, LAST CUP: ROAD TO THE WORLD SERIES OF BEER PONG chronicles America's wooziest subculture and follows participants as they compete to conquer the fun and frothy sport of competitive beer pong. Beer pong practitioners from across the US meet in Nevada for the second annual World Series of Beer Pong where the team with the sharpest accuracy (and highest tolerance) stands to walk away with $20,000. LAST CUP cuts through the drunken revelry and sets its cameras on four very different teams, culminating in a sobering, nail-biter of a conclusion.

Rated R; 88min; Director:Danny Leiner

Alamo Website:  ** Please note regular food menu service is not available during these shows. It's burgers or bust! **

And to prove who REALLY has an excessive appreciation of fine cuisine, we'll be having a WHITE CASTLE SPEED EATING competition before each HAROLD & KUMAR screening! Yep, a select few bold ingestors from the audience will join each other on stage to shove down some burgers for fun/prizes/fun prizes!! We'd love to see you up there, but remember: if you wanna compete, pace yourself on the burgers beforehand. All's fair in burgers and war!

"You're going to think I'm insane, or kidding, but honest-to-God this is one of the year's best films; possibly the best movie comedy about an all-nighter ever made (sorry Bob!). It's from Danny Leiner, the director of DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?, and plays like an R-rated second draft of that film, which, I remind readers, went from concept to finished product in under 7 months. Harold (John Cho, of the second and third AMERICAN PIE movies) and Kumar (Kal Penn, MALIBU'S MOST WANTED) are indeed stoners looking to feed their drug-induced hunger pangs, but they're no dummies. Harold is a lower-tier employee in some kind of fancy office job, and Kumar is the son of a doctor who deliberately screws up med-school interviews to piss off dad. As the movie begins, Harold's obnoxious bosses conspire to make him do all their work for the next day's meeting, but Kumar calls and insists the two of them get stoned first. They do, and see a commercial for White Castle. Now all they have to do is get there." -Luke Thomas
