As a much-hyped and long-awaited sequel to the "Twilight" saga, the vampire romance "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" becomes a heavy blockbuster with a projected 140.7 million dollars in ticket sales over the weekend, setting many firsts on its way to the top of North America box office, authorities said on Sunday. On Friday when it debuted in theaters in Canada and the United States, "New Moon" harvested a total of 72.7 million dollars. This is in contrast to the first installment "Twilight" which only garnered 35.98 million dollars on the first day of showing last November. A Summit Entertainment production and based on a series of four novels by author Stephenie Meyer, "New Moon" is directed by Chris Weitz instead of Catherine Hardwicke in the first installment. However, the movie is exceptionally faithful to the 2008 beginnings. The romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of, only to find herself in greater peril than ever before. If there's any interest after the movie we can head over to Baby A's which is right across from the Gateway. Showtime is 7:30 PM, but I'll be waiting in the lobby at 7:00 PM. Hope this one fits your schedule. JayB.

Meetup time is 4:15 PM , but the showtime is actually 5:00 PM. I'd get there early as the trailers for this one are sure to be unique. Also, this gives us a chance to chat a bit before the film. A feature length documentary chronicling the history, ideology and aesthetic of Norwegian black metal - a musical subculture infamous as much for a series of murders and church arson as it is for its unique musical and visual aesthetics. This is the first (and only) film to truly shed light on a movement that has heretofore been shrouded in darkness and rumor and obscured by inaccurate and shallow depictions. Featuring exclusive interviews and verite with the musicians, a wealth of rare, seldom seen footage from the "Black Circles" earliest days, Until the Light Takes Us explores every aspect of the controversial movement that has captured the attention of the world. This is the movie that gets inside the minds and hearts of black metal's musicians. The filmmakers moved to Norway, living and filming there for two years. The movie is not about them though - it's about the extraordinary people and events that make black metal unique, unforgettable, and inevitable. This is black metal as seen through the eyes of those who created it, of those who live it, of those who are at the center of the story of black metal. Featuring: Gylve "Fenriz" Nagell, Varg Vikernes, Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg, Kjetil "Frost" Haraldstad, Ivar Bjornson, Abbath and Demonaz Doom Occulta, Kris "Garm" Rygg, Bjarne Melgaard, Harmony Korine, and more. Afterwards, we' heading to House Wine. Black Metal, wine, and cupcakes ? Yup, this is Austin. ;-) Hope your plans allow for this event. JayB.

We'll meet at 6pm in the foyer, to sit together for a 7pm start. Hope you can make it. Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! At looooooonng last, we're finally giving this classic film the Quote-Along treatment it deserves. Strap on your proton pack and join us at the Ritz as we sing-along to one of the most amazing movie theme songs of all time, quote-along to amazing lines of dialogue like, "Somebody blows their nose, and you want to keep it?" and try to talk in a super creepy low demonic voice when we say, "There is no Dana, only Zuul!" We'll also have plenty of marshmallows on hand, so we can all StayPuft through the entire screening. (Henri) http://www.originala lamo.com/Show.aspx?i d=6752

To celebrate the Halloween season, Master Pancake dreams up fun ways to eviscerate the Wes Craven classic A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984), or as we like to call it "Scissorhands vs. Razorgloves". Featuring a baby-faced Johnny Depp (21 JUMP STREET, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS) as a preppy horn-dog who just wants to get with Heather Langenkamp (NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3, GROWING PAINS) the girl next door with a fantastic set of lungs. Of course it's Robert Englund (C.H.U.D. II: BUD THE CHUD, THE ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE) who steals the show as the well-clawed Freddy Krueger, who, like most 80's horror villains, only seems to stalk teenagers who are in danger of copulating. Join Master Pancake as they riff apart this creepy nail biter. (John Erler). For tickets, please follow the following link: https://www.original alamo.com/online_tix /buy_new.asp?showing =136785 Actual showtime is 7:15 PM, but the Alamo frowns on saving seats ... so ... if you plan on going please show up early. Sorry for the short notice, but the organization of the group has just recently changed hands. If I can get a small number of committed RSVPs I'll check into reserving the balcony. Otherwise, we'll just plan for the main theater. Anywho, hope your plans allow for this one. If there's interest after the show we can go somewhere near ( Iron Cactus ? ) for a beverage to discuss the film. Hope to see you there. JayB.

We'll meet at 9pm to sit together for a 10pm start. Finally, the definitive documentary about the go-for-broke, fuck-it-all Aussie renaissance of the '70s and '80s. The national character of Australia is marked by a certain raucous non-conformity, and the country's fast and furious exploitation film output during this golden age is notable for its extreme audacity - rudeness even. As exiled subjects of the British Empire they might have been expected to copy the staid, overly mannered films of their ancestral homeland but HELL no, their films are loaded with more boobs, reckless car chases, explosions and killer fauna than anyone's. They're cheap, filthy, loud and proud. And like a cool rain in the middle of the outback, this very welcome and unexpected doc gives you the "Easy Riders Raging Bulls" style lowdown on all the best ozploitation films you've never seen, including unheralded masterpieces like THE LONG WEEKEND and ROAD GAMES, exercises in stylistic excess like RAZORBACK and NEXT OF KIN, downright full-blooded smut like THE NAKED BUNYIP and STORK, bloody horrors like NIGHT OF FEAR and THIRST and the spectacular action mayhem of Brian Trenchard-Smith, whose films MAN FROM HONG KONG and TURKEY SHOOT break off the violence knob altogether. Fans of genre cinema will be scribbling notes furiously to keep up with the lightning fast pace of NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD. In addition to the astonishing assortment of clips from the movies themselves, this film features dozens of interviews with Australian luminaries and imported American talent like Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis. Megafan Quentin Tarantino provides insightful commentary and characteristic enthusiasm throughout, as do directors James Wan (SAW) and Greg McLean (WOLF CREEK).

The Warriors is Walter Hill at the top of his game. Show starts at 7pm, so we'll meet at 6pm to get seats together. Hope you can make it. Usual links below: There is ONLY ONE MOVIE that captures the sweaty, gravel-n'-blood desperation of late '70s New York street gangs, blasting open the seedier side of youth culture with a rampaging action adventure like nothing else you'll ever see. And that American goddamn classic is clearly THE WARRIORS. I don't even need to tell you the plot of the movie, but I will anyway because just writing about it gets me PUMPED. A powerful underworld leader calls a summit of every gang in New York, but is brutally assassinated before he can bring them together against the police. The blame is wrongly placed on iron-willed, pure-hearted Coney Island rumblers The Warriors, and they've got to run for their lives to make it home by daybreak. On their way through subway tunnels and darkened alleys, they'll face an impossible gauntlet of cops, face-painted maniacs, rollerskating switchblade slashers, spastic skinheads and countless other urban terrors. Dress up as your favorite gang, wrap a chain around your knuckles and come out and play-ee-yay with the cold-blooded gutter soldiers of the Alamo Drafthouse at this big-screen presentation of Hollywood's greatest action film of the '70s: THE WARRIORS! http://www.originala lamo.com/Show.aspx?i d=6692 http://www.mapquest. com/maps?name=Alamo+ Drafthouse+Cinema& city=Austin&stat e=TX&address=320 +E+6th+St&zipcod e=78701&country= US&latitude=30.2 67332&longitude= -97.740183&geoco de=ADDRESS&id=42 869015

Tickets on sale now, we'll meet at 6pm to sit together for a 7pm start. Usual links below: FANTASTIC FEST presents an AUSTIN SCHOOL OF FILM fundraiser event A special NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE of the long-awaited goreblaster... CABIN FEVER 2!!! With special live guests Rider Strong Rusty Kelley Marc Senter Noah Segan ...plus producer Lauren Moews! Following the events in Eli Roth's midnight hit CABIN FEVER, CF2 picks up with a truck full of tainted water bottles heading straight for the local high school (on prom night!). Fan favorite Deputy Winston (Giuseppe Andrews) is back to stop the shipment from coming in, any way he can. CF2 take us into a world of that has timeless quality, incorporating elements of modern day, the '80s and even the '70s (complete with a disco prom!) You'll be reminded of the camp of John Waters, the '80s teen school aesthetic of BETTER OFF DEAD and the outrageously fountainous gore of EVIL DEAD II. In the same way that film took the EVIL DEAD franchise and pushed it into a more slapstick, comedy-based plateau, CABIN FEVER will tear your head off just before you laugh yourself to death. This one's not just for horror fans, but for cult movie freaks of all kinds, the ultimate post-modern teen gutbuster of the current millennium. Do not miss it. All proceeds from this show go to Austin's most beloved non-profit film resource, AUSTIN SCHOOL OF FILM. Special thanks to Lions Gate Films. http://www.originala lamo.com/Show.aspx?i d=6771
