Angelika Film Center – Houston, TX

From my blog:
The Angelika Film Center remains one of downtown Houston’s greatest gems. Conveniently located in Bayou City Center on Smith Street it is within walking distance from businesses in the “Skyline District” and downtown Houston hotels. Ample and well lit parking is available in the Theater District parking garage system. Valet parking is also available. The added bonus for patrons of Angelika Film Center is the reimbursement of the parking charge. Save your parking receipt and the box office will refund the cost of parking. (Be sure to hang on to it as some exits require the receipt) All screens at Angelika feature the same stadium seating and high-end sound systems you find in other Houston megaplexes. At one time Angelika featured a cafe and bar in their lobby, but this is no longer the case. At one time coffee and other beverages could be brought into the theater for further enjoyment.F I Ramirez, F I Ramirez, Dec 2008

X Files — I Want to Believe — Dedicated to Marco

All right Marco, let me run to the nearest Redbox location and rent this recently released DVD, The X Files, I Want to Believe. Would you send me a link to your review, so I can include it in my blog.
|

“The X-Files: I Want to Believe” had an unfortunately brief tour of theaters before disappearing, perhaps due to its lack of alien bounty hunters, sentient black oil or shady government conspiracies. While the series’ monster-of-the-week episodes fared well, on the big screen “I Want to Believe’s” take on organ harvesting seems too small to command the attentions of former FBI agents Mulder and Scully.

The Good: You want a comprehensive making-of documentary? “Trust No One” is for you. Even split into three parts, the doc is meaty and filled with fairly candid interviews from the cast and crew. In many ways, it’s more fascinating than the feature presentation, thanks to the drama of trying to resurrect a beloved but extremely convoluted (plot-wise) television series on the big screen. Series co-creators Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz give good commentary, if somewhat dry at times.
