Cinemapocalypse: The Expendables Part 2

So this was what we came for- The Expendables! A movie that promised audiences would be decimated by the shear amount of balls flying about as shrapnel throughout the film. It was 4:45AM by this point and I don’t have to tell you I was tired. Hell, after the trio of flicks we had just seen, I could have easily called it a night and gone home. Then Zack from the Alamo announced that none other than Sylvester Stallone had bought everybody in the auditorium a box of popcorn. The feast was delivered and the film started. And from the very first kill, my butt was clenched. But was it enough to sustain my excitement for a full 90 minutes? Find out after the jump.

I survived, people. I survived…

If you’re unfamiliar with this event, hosted by Zack at the famous Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Austin, it was advertised as an all night face melter. We would be shown three classic action films, selected by fans who voted on Alamo’s website, and then the regional premiere of The Expendables would complete the quadfecta of ass kickery. Oh, and did I mention this started at 10:00 pm? All I can say is I’m glad we weren’t watching Cinemapocalypse: Eat, Pray, Love, with a lead up including our favorite Julia Roberts movies. It takes the adrenaline rush of these films (along with a couple of Red Bulls) to keep a geeked up audience going.

So instead of saying it was bad (I’ll backpedal here a little and say that the movie isn’t terrible in the entire negatively-associated sense of the word – [...]

If anything, this is kind of an interesting look at what it’s like in the theater business these days.¬† I’m a huge fan of Alamo Drafthouse and pretty much refuse to go to any other theaters.¬† For the record, Tim League only owns three locations in Austin (Ritz, Lamar, and Village) while all the rest [...]
