Beginning Tuesday, November 1 and running through Saturday, November 5, we’ll host five days of screenings curated by the Houston Comedy Film Festival. This third annual event will screen 40 indie short films and two feature films. All films were handpicked from over 400 submissions from all around the world. The shorts being shown throughout the week come from all over the place — including Los Angeles, Madrid, Brazil and Australia. Of course, there will also be a wide selection of Houston filmmakers on display too!

It’s almost here. Next month will see the release of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PART 1 — the first in a two-part film adaptation of the final book in the Twilight Saga. Just as we said goodbye to Harry Potter this past summer, we’re almost at the point where fans will have to hang up their Team Jacob and Team Edward shirts. That said, just because the series is ending doesn’t mean we can’t go out with a bang.

Teaming up with 8th Dimension Comics & Games and Ain’t It Cool News, we’re throwing a Pee-wee-sized Halloween party for the entire family. Bring the little ones and introduce them to one of the funniest films to ride that line between adult humor and child-appropriate silliness. PEE-WEE is a movie most any age group can enjoy and that’s why we’re screening it as the second installment of our new ALAMO KIDS CLUB.

THE HAMMER follows the true-life story of Matt Hamill, a deaf wrestler and mixed martial artist who broke boundaries by becoming the first deaf person to win a collegiate wrestling championship.

Set against the deadly beauty of the dark continent, THE DEAD is the first zombie road movie filmed in Africa. The movie takes audiences to never-before-seen locations in Burkina Faso, French-speaking West Africa and Ghana — including the Sahara Desert. Making the film was just as dangerous to the filmmakers as it was to their characters.
