The Alamo Drafthouse’s Top 10 Films Of 2011 By Germain Lussier/Jan. 9, 2012 5:00 am EST It’s no secret that the Alamo Drafthouse is the best theater chain in the country. Sure, it’s small, but the passion they have to create the perfect environment to watch a movie is unparalleled. Case in point, their hugely popular No Texting public service announcements, incredible in-theater food selection, stunning repertory screenings and so much more....

This Week In Trailers: Dawn, Curt, He Named Me Malala, The Legend Of Barney Thomson, 45 Years By Christopher Stipp/June 30, 2015 5:15 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect.

Toy Story 3D Review By Brendon Connelly/Oct. 2, 2009 10:30 am EST Agree or disagree about how Star Wars and Jaws shifted our habits of moviegoing forever but I don’t think I’ll be able to swallow any argument that tells me John Lasseter’s sublime Toy Story wasn’t a turning point in modern film history. There are far more fully-CG toons being catapulted into the market place now, week in, week out, than we ever received from the cel-animation studios....
