The Mommies Reviews

Good morning, How are you? There is quite a few movies I would like to go see this week. How about you which new releases are you waiting to see and why? If you aren’t sure what movies are premiering this week I would like to share what is happening this week from Alamo DraftHouse.

ALAMO
DOWNTON ABBEY Internal

With its affectionate portrait of an aristocratic family and their household staff, Downton Abbey became one of the most beloved television series of all time. Now, the Crawleys and the downstairs gang are back for their very own feature-length film.

There will be drama. There will be heartache. There will be more pointed barbs than you can shake a croquet mallet at. Join us for one last visit to DOWNTON ABBEY.

ABOUT
With its affectionate portrait of an aristocratic family and their household staff, Downton Abbey became one of the most beloved television series of all time. And now the Crawleys and the downstairs gang are back in their very own feature-length film for one more dramatic look at a bygone era.

When last we saw them, it seemed like the family and staff at Downton Abbey had been through just about everything one could imagine, from death to marriage to heartbreak to war, and everything in between. But they still have one last surprise in store for them: a visit from the royal family.

Everyone is back, from the downstairs (Carson, Mrs. Hughes, Thomas, Bates, and Anna) to the upstairs (Lord and Lady Grantham, Mary, Edith, and, of course, the Dowager Countess). There will be drama. There will be heartache. There will be more pointed barbs than you can shake a croquet mallet at. Join us for one last visit to DOWNTON ABBEY .
RAMBO: LAST BLOOD
Sylvester Stallone returns for one last mission to Hell.
RAMBO: LAST BLOOD Internal

SYLVESTER STALLONE RETURNS FOR ONE LAST MISSION INTO HELL.

This new, final chapter in the legendary ’80s action franchise finds John Rambo as a solitary old veteran, alone on his Arizona ranch save for the circling demons of his blood-soaked past.

But when a friend’s granddaughter goes missing in Mexico, the beefy septuagenarian heads south on a rescue mission only to find a violent world of kidnapping, sex-trafficking, and power-crazed cartel lords. Will he make it out alive, armed only with his wits, crossbow, and many, many guns?

Co-written by Sly Stallone himself and directed by action vet Adrian Grunburg (GET THE GRINGO), this gory, vengeful update redefines the parameters for “gritty reboot.”

John Rambo draws from a lifetime of combat to rain down hell on his enemies, and even uses his cunning to rig up a HOME ALONE-style series of brutal booby traps. Just because he’s haunted by the past doesn’t mean he won’t shoot it full of arrows till it explodes.

Won’t you dine with us at DOWNTON ABBEY? Check out our inspired special menu, availble for Limited Time Specials and new foods and drinks we haven’t had the opportunity to try out.
DOWNTON ABBEY Menu

Or lunch. Or brunch. Or tea.

We unabashedly love the television series Downton Abbey, with its elegant costumes, soaring music, sweeping romance, endearing characters (yes, even Thomas), engrossing drama, and witty repartee.

And as if that wasn’t enough to win our hearts, many of the best and most memorable scenes in the series combine all of those elements with two of our favorite activities: eating and drinking.

So when we heard that the saga of the Crawleys and their household staff is continuing on in the new feature film DOWNTON ABBEY, we let out a Maggie Smith-like “Oh!” and then funneled our reserved, properly masked, but still very palpable enthusiasm into a menu of food and beverages inspired by the film.

With special items that would satisfy a Dowager Countess as much as a footman, our DOWNTON ABBEY menu would make Mrs. Patmore proud.

Check out what we have in store for you, then join us for romance, family, friendship, and high drama when DOWNTON ABBEY comes out on September 20th.

I say, Spratt, could you bring us three freshly baked toasted walnut and pineapple cookies? Thank you ever so much.

DOWNSTAIRS

MR. CARSON’S NIGHTCAP

AD ASTRA
AD ASTRA
A RESCUE MISSION AT THE EDGE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

Like Heart of Darkness set at the end of the universe, AD ASTRA is a gritty exploration of the harshness and sheer uninhabitability of deep space. Engineer Roy McBride (Brad Pitt, THE BIG SHORT) leads a spaceship on a journey to find his long-lost father (Tommy Lee Jones, JASON BOURNE), last seen tracking down aliens somewhere around Neptune.
But to get there, they’ll have to face cosmic explosions, government conspiracies, and hey,
what was the deal with those aliens again?

Directed by James Gray (THE LOST CITY OF Z) and featuring a stellar supporting cast (including Ruth Negga and Donald Sutherland), AD ASTRA is a cerebral sci-fi thriller for those of us whose favorite cinematic genre is “everything goes completely bat-shit in outer space.” Get your helmet on and strap in.

FREE SNEAK PEEK – SEPTEMBER 24TH

CATCH A SNEAK PEEK OF THE NEW ADULT SWIM SERIES.

Emmy-winning creator, Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack) is back with a new series on Adult Swim. The show follows a caveman at the dawn of evolution and a dinosaur on the brink of extinction. Bonded by tragedy, this unlikely friendship becomes the only hope of survival in a violent, primordial world.

Described as a painting come to life, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal tells a beautiful story through mind-blowing sound design, breathtaking animation, and an original score by composer Tyler Bates (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, DEADPOOL 2, JOHN WICK).

Bound to be a classic, this new Adult Swim series roars to life in a 5-night special event, starting Monday, October 7th at midnight (ET/PT).

ONE-NIGHT-ONLY EVENT – SEPTEMBER 27TH The Death of Dick Long

THINGS ARE GETTING REAL WEIRD IN ALABAMA.

Holy Crap. Dick is dead. Died last night after band practice, and his bandmates, Zeke and Earl (Michael Abbott Jr. and Andre Hyland), don’t want anybody finding out how. That’s too bad though, ‘cause news travels fast in small-town Alabama, and these guys suck at covering their tracks. The authorities haven’t ID’d the body just yet, but Zeke’s wife (Virginia Newcomb) and his daughter are suspicious already.

From a screenplay by Billy Chew, director Daniel Scheinert (one half of the SWISS ARMY MAN duo known as Daniels) expertly balances the hilarity and heartache of what happens when dark secrets are dragged kicking and screaming into the light.

HUSTLERS Rowdy Screening

SEX. MONEY. J. LO.

What is a “Rowdy” Screening?
That means that at this screening you can show your full-on Lizzo-ppreciation. Feel free to hoot, holler, and okurrrrrrrrrrrrr at the screen. BUT that doesn’t mean that you’re allowed to carry on conversations, use your phone, or be in any way disrespectful of one another or our staff. Because if you do, we’ll have to throw you out.


ABOUT ROWDY SCREENING EVENTS
Like a regular screening, only hoots, hollers, and cheers of all kinds are highly encouraged. But keep it cute, y’all. Disrespect for your neighbors or our hard-working staff is never tolerated.

ABOUT
Struggling single mom Dorothy (Constance Wu, CRAZY RICH ASIANS) starts working at a strip club to pay the bills. But after seeing how wealthy the club’s clients are, Dorothy enlists the aid of experienced stripper Ramona (Jennifer Lopez) to set up a scam to take down the Wall Street high-rollers who take advantage of them.

Based on the viral New York Magazine article by Jessica Pressler, HUSTLERS is a jaw-dropping, fist-pumping true story about the working masses against the ruling classes. An incredible cast, led by Wu and Lopez and featuring Cardi B, Keke Palmer, Julia Stiles, Lili Reinhart, and a cameo by Lizzo, teams up for a caper of sex, money, and unbreakable bonds.

From writer-director Lorene Scafaria (SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD, NICK & NORAH’S INFINITE PLAYLIST), this story about women supporting women is a must-see, unbelievably true tale. Equally funny and dramatic, HUSTLERS dresses down the rich and gives generously to the audience.

The following special menu will be available at screenings of HUSTLERS.

Brittany Runs A Marathon

JILLIAN BELL IS A HOT MESS MAKING PROGRESS.

Brittany Forgler (Jillian Bell, Workaholics) enjoys the finer things in life, like getting completely wrecked, eating late-night burgers, and feeling like garbage all the time.

After she stops in at a doctor’s office to try and cop an Adderall prescription, she gets a dose of reality – her life is all messed up, and she’s got to lose 55 pounds.

Reluctantly, she takes up running, and slowly – very slowly – gains enough confidence to have a go at the grueling New York City Marathon. 

Jillian Bell shines in a breakout role, and portrays Brittany as a hilarious, troubled, hopeful person on an uncertain journey. Her circle of support includes her brother-in-law (Lil Rey Howery, GET OUT), her Instagram-famous roommate (Alice Lee), slacker co-worker (Utkarsh Ambudkar), and Michaela Watkins (SNL) as the annoying neighbor who encourages her to take her first tenuous steps. Lively and clever even when the jogging’s slow, it’s a bright, sweet comedy about taking responsibility for your own happiness.

MUBI FREE VICTORY SCREENING: REAR WINDOW


HITCHCOCK’S FUNNY AND FRIGHTENING VOYEURISTIC MASTERPIECE.

This free screening for members of Alamo’s Victory program is presented by MUBI.

MUBI is a curated online cinema, streaming hand-picked award-winning, classic, and cult films from around the globe. Every day, MUBI’s film experts present a new film and you have 30 days to watch it.


Whether it’s an acclaimed masterpiece, a gem fresh from the world’s greatest film festivals, or a beloved classic, there are always 30 beautiful hand-picked films to discover. Victory members are eligible for a special 30 day free trial.

Admission is free for Victory members, but you can reserve your seat in advance with a $5 food and beverage voucher.


With its blend of humor, heart, and chilling suspense, there may be no better showcase for Alfred Hitchcock’s legendary style than REAR WINDOW.

James Stewart (VERTIGO) stars as L.B. Jefferies, a photographer who normally spends his days traveling into dangerous situations to get the pictures no one else dares take. But one of his adventures temporarily lands him in a wheelchair, forcing him to while away his days watching his colorful assortment of neighbors in the apartment building across the street. It all seems harmless enough, until he begins to suspect one of his neighbors has committed a murder.

Co-starring Hollywood icon Grace Kelly (DIAL M FOR MURDER) and the magnificent Thelma Ritter (ALL ABOUT EVE), Alfred Hitchcock’s REAR WINDOW stands as a master class in filmmaking. By putting the audience in Stewart’s shoes, he both engrosses and implicates the viewer in his tawdry, wickedly entertaining peep show, resulting in one of the greatest films ever made.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
