DIR. ATTJANDRO JODOROWSKY, 1971,125 MIN,35MM,
From its J0hn Lennon-approved, nearly fanatical following in the'70s duling midnight streenings to its vari0us bootlegged in(arnations and forever-announted, never-materialized sequels (at one

point staning Marilyn Manson), Alejandro Jodorowsky's EL T0P0 remains an enduring cult-film ex' perience. EL T0P0 opens with a passage that (ould be an existential ioutney for one's soul or a spooi of a Sergio leone spaghetti Western: The bearded, leather-clad gunfighter El Topo (Jodorowsky himself) and his young son (Brontis Jodorowsky) ride through the desert and into a hamlet of bloodill
decimated people and animals. From then on, it's a winding, spiraling toad of evil bandits, mystical foes and whip-cratking dykes, spiked with indelible, inexplicable imagery. "l am Godi'El Topo at one point intones, and Jodorowsky completely means it: Playing deity in front of and behind the camera, the director uses film as a direct pipe into his own mind, and the bursting valise of ideas. images, and sounds that results is a veritable blur of ridiculous and sublime (and ridiculous-sublimel moments that defy ordinary teadings while inviting (demanding, really) audience involvement via a(tive interpretati0n.

Alejandro Jodorowsky's most daring film, as well as THE celluloid mind-roaster of all time! An epi( 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 dif-

ferent ill of society) link up t0 raid The Holy Mountain and steal its secrets' This pic would tost a billion dollars to make nowadays, and its first half h0ur of in-yout-face imagety (crucified, skinned animals; storm troopers; ctipples; flowers blooming from stigmata; exploding toads) is like prime Fellini on really prime Peyote. 0utrageous, pretentious, unbelievable, and unforgettable. There'll never be another film temotely like it! (StevenPuchalski, Shock Cineno)

DIR. ROBERT TOWNSEND, 1987,93 MIN,35MM,

It's tough being an Eddie Murphy fan nowadays. Moviegoers quirkly fotget how funny someone used to be when all they do is make the same sequels every summer. The Eddie Murphy of today is often a complete stranger,

with only very small

glimpses of his former manic self peeking through the big-budget artifrce. Think about what's funnier - Eddie Murphy in his fantastic live concert frlms or NUTTY PR0FESS0R 2? This movi opens with a (ute sequence with Eddie as a young
boy, entertaining and eventually shocking his family with some decidedly nasty jokes. I ncidentally, this sequence features

SamuelL.JacksonasEddie'sunde! Whatfollowsis90minutesofsomeoftheharshestandstrongeststand-upyou'll ever see. Eddie rovers his favorite topics - sex, money and women. While many claim that his over-the-top views mask some misogynistic or sexist views, I rhoose to see it as a performer playing a role. At this point in hh career, Eddie just had his audience wrapped around his finger, and this guy knows how to work a room. While lots of comedians rely on extreme profanity to just shock people, fddie used his mouth as a comedi< weapon. His skills as an impersonator are
equally impresive. Try to watch his takes on Richard Pryor and Bill (osby and not crack a smile. And as always, some of
Eddie's best

material revolves around his own family. (5cott Weinberg,EFilm Critic)

Do you want to know what love is? Can you no longer fight that feeling? Well l'll be right here waiting for you with big hair and tender songs about what it's like to live love and to sing songs in the rain, because l've seen love come, l've seen love go, and l've seen it die in vain. 5H0T D0WN! lN A BTAZE 0F! - sorry. lt's just that l'M EX(ITED FOR THIS SH0W.
Last year's L0VE BITES was one of the best timet l've ever had in a movie theater and even though we billed it as an anti-Valentinel show fllled with slow songs of heartbreak and girls who left the long-haired guitar players who loved them we still had people there on first dates, we had one woman propose to her boyfiiend, and l'm still holding out hope that a couple of people went home that night and conceived their first accidental thild. Ihere are still no reports of a Love Bites baby, though, so this year we're pulling

out all the stops and designing a show with so much balladic power that it each and every person in the theater, so make sure you?e wearing ptote(tion. We've got Steve Peny (in Journey and flying solo),

But until you've seen the movie and sung the songs and learned that lesson in a movie theater with 200 other heart-swept people, you,ve never really known what it's like to be in love. Your heart will swell. Your lungs will burst. Bring a date, or else make sure you choose who you sit next to carefully, because you "will* end up falling in love with that person before the credits roll.

TARANTIN0 and ROBERT R0DRIGUEZ movie of the same name. Here at the Alamo we?e giving you a unique opportunity to see some ofthe real shit. Since 2001 the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown has been hosting a unique series ofexploitation classics culled from private collections, abandoned warehouses, even dumpsters. We present

a peerless selection of honor, sexploitation, action and more, mostly from the golden era ofthe 60's and 70's. Many ofthese films are so obscure that little or nothing has ever been written about them. Some ofthem are bad, all of them are enjoyable, and a rare few will change your life. Best of all it's absolutely free. We think of it as an extension course in film history and a heaven-sent escape from the crushing lameness ofthe real world.

This is a completely insane Ftench crime-sex film with a gorgeous high contrast visual aestheti( and a jumbled plot that exists for no other reason than to propel the viewet from one unsavory scene of sex ot violence to another. A Rosetta Stone ofsleaze that l'm still trying to decipher. lt seems to be about a drug and prostitution ring that puts a (ontrad out on its rivals. But the film was te-edited by the American

dhtributor to eliminate any time-wasting scenes of plot exposition 50 it's often hard to determine who that naked woman is or why those junkies are beating that guy up. No complaints though. This movie is like a cluster bomb of sex, violence and pure mid-60s Eutopean (ool. I teally can't tompare this to any other

Enter a shadowy phantom in an otherworldly blatk car who ups the ante to a race for their lives...a competition the degenerates are losing one by one. Probably because the wraith's souped-up "lnterceptor" is so goddamn powerful that it splits (op (ars in two, crackles with laser-lightning and creates explosions big enough to turn sand to glass.

Country legend Dolly Parton has been in the publi( spotlight for decades through her music, TV and movie appearances, and Dollywood, her theme park. Along the way, she

has amassed a remarkably devoted fan following. Tai Uhlmann's delightfully smart documentary explores why Dolly inspires quasi-religious devotion from her fans through the stories offive ofthe entertainer's most ardent followers: a gay couple who handmake
Dolly dolls, a woman who has built a replica of Dolly's old Tennessee mountain home in her backyard, a disabled young man whose Dolly obsession has helped him thrive, and a woma n who m oved to Nashville iust to be closer to Dol ly.

TTAVING HOMI EOMING HOME: A PORTRAIT OF ROBERT FRANK W I S'{ [5 *,&Y, F L& 7, V :E* ? t f,, P,L &&fr Q,]fi $i Fl T* W t{ E.6;RALD FOX,2OO5,86 MIN. BETA
ln this tou(hingly intimate, unauthorized portrait of the great American photographer
and filmmaker Robert Frank, director Gerald Fox takes the viewer deep inside the artist,s personal and creative life. This fascinating journey is woven around on-camera interviews

in which Frank bares perhaps more than he intended. yet one leaves the film with the feeling that Fox has managed to communicate something important about the real man behind the artist. Though he was born in Zurich in 1924, Frank has since become a consummate New Yorker after moving to Manhattan in 1947. To demonstrate this, Fox shows Frank shuffling around an empty lot, unshaven and wryly inveighing against the yuppies who've invaded his once bohemian territory. With his second wife, the amiable stulptress June Leal he lives between his Greenwich Village apartment and a house in the wilds of Nova Scotia. Hii career as a photographer is recalled in his startling pottraits of American working-dass folk, Welsh coal miners, and London bankers in their top hats. The strength and ;n;itivity of these extraordinary photographs almost leaps offthe screen. Representing frank's film work are excerpts from his seminal 1959 pULL My DAISy codirerted with Alfied Leslie (an improvisation on Jack Kerouar's play The Beat Generation) and ME AND MY BROTHtR (1 969) with Allen Ginsberg and Gregory
Corso. (0(KSUCKER BLU Es
