Alamo Drafthouse DFW Makes Us Look Forward to the Holidays

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema DFW

Special Programming:

Christmas Classics: Vintage and Modern

December 2013  

December wouldn’t be complete without a multitude of Christmas movies—old and new. At Alamo (100 S. Central Expressway #14, Richardson, TX 75080) this month, we celebrate Christmas movies on the big screen as they were meant to be seen—some surprising, others it just would be Christmas without. 

"You can't NOT show the Christmas classics during December, but we've all seen them a million times when they marathon us to death with them every year during this time. So we decided to re-gift a few of everyone's favorite holiday films by making them interactive! We're talking quote-alongs, sing-alongs, props to play along, themed food and more. ELF, A CHRISTMAS STORY, CHRISTMAS VACATION, HOME ALONE, BAD SANTA and LOVE ACTUALLY have all gotten the Alamo Drafthouse treatment with Action Pack. And of course we have the presents under the tree and trinkets in your stockings that you expect—everything from IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE to NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS! While we didn't want to be a Scrooge, we threw in some of the unconventional favorites—SCROOGED, DIE HARD, GREMLINS, and even a few misfit toys like AMERICAN PSYCHO and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS," said James Wallace, creative manager, Alamo DFW.

Fantastic Fest 2013 Special Event: Evening of Cinema and Conversation with Errol Morris!

Last year, I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of documentaries Fantastic Fest scheduled, and one of them, THE AMERICAN SCREAM , ended up being one of my favorites for the year. So, I am stoked to see what they come up with this year. 

Today, Fantastic Fest has announced a special event with acclaimed documentarian, Errol Morris. This will be an insightful and memorable event as Morris discusses his career, and the audience is treated to his new film, THE UNKNOWN KNOWN, a documentary delving into the career of former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld.
