Dallas Cinemania Returns in 2011

After nearly a year off, Dallas Cinemania is returning to the screens with a special screening of Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA (1977). We had such a good time showing Argento's Deep Red back in 2009, we decided to kick things off with another of his films this year at the Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff. We have tentative plans to expand the screenings throughout the rest of the year. A lot of people have been asking if we're showing the 35mm print. Unfortunately, the answer this time around is, no. So far the fledging Texas Theatre doesn't have a 35mm projector (but they're allegedly working on it). We decided to go ahead and screen the UK Blu-ray -- not available in the States -- just to get the ball rolling. We'll hopefully be showing some of our cinema treasure in glorious 35 again very shortly once we get the kinks worked out. So come out and support local cult cinema and enjoy one of Argento's best with a cold brew from the new Texas Theatre bar. We'll save a seat for you.

BTW, you can purchase tickets in advance at the Texas Theatre site (just click the link above).

DEEP RED Reminder

Rocktober is almost half way finished and here's a reminder to be sure and tell your interested friends about DALLAS CINEMANIA's upcoming screening of Dario Argento's 1975's suspense classic, DEEP RED, at the Angelika at Mockingbird Station on October 29th at 9pm. Tickets will be $8 at the door. Just go upstairs to the table clearly marked "Dallas Cinemania" for the tickets. We're cash only so bring $$$ (there's an ATM on the first floor -- did I already say that?). Come early for a selection of vintage trailers. You know the drill.

DALLAS CINEMANIA presents DEEP RED (1975) for Halloween

D-city Cinemania's screening of Dario Argento's 1975 Italian suspense classic, DEEP RED (Profondo Rosso), is shaping up to be one of the coolest screenings this year. It's on schedule to spool out in 35mm at the Angelika at Mockingbird Station in Dallas on October 29th (that's a Thursday for those of you out there without a general lack of savant-like quantitative powers)

Just got word from Julie Hwang at AFFD that the Asian Film Festival will be screening a double feature on October 24th. We'll get back with more details.

In the meantime, tell your friends to come out to the Angelika on October 29th at 9pm for some early Argento madness. Tickets will be $8 cash only -- but there's an ATM in the building if you don't mind paying exorbitant service fees. See you at the show.

CINEMANIA is BACK with PROFONDO ROSSO (1975)!!!

It's official...DALLAS CINEMANIA is back and this time we ain't bitching out! We're gonna screen a 35mm print of Dario Argento's seminal slasher DEEP RED (aka Profondo Rosso) [1975] starring David Hemmings at The Angelika at Mockingbird Station on October 29th at 9PM. That's 9PM and not 8PM like the previous films.

We'll have the usual 35mm vintage exploitation trailers and more.

This is the 100 minute US cut of the film for you trainspotters out there but we think you'll appreciate the judicious cut. Bring your friends. Tickets will be $8 at the door. For more info join our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/dallas.cinemania

PARANOIA Screening Canceled!!!

Due to an unfortunate series of events, I have been forced to cancel tonight's screening of PARANOIA. But...never fear, DALLAS CINEMANIA will be back in time for Halloween. We've got a couple of films picked out, more about that later.

And we'll probably screen PARANOIA in the fall as well -- tickets will still be $5!!! So stay tuned. In the meantime, check out our Facebook page which will have the latest news.

PARANOIA Screening Moved to July 30th

Thanks to some emergency issues we're dealing with, our 35mm screening of UMBERTO LENZI's PARANOIA (ORGASMO) has been postponed. We were originally scheduled to screen the film June 25th at the Angelika but we're moving the date to July which will allow us to ramp up the hype. Don't forget to tell your friends, this CINEMANIA screening will be $5!!! There is really no reason not to come out and see this rare print -- NOT ON DVD.

We don't have the July date set in stone yet but it'll probably be toward the end of the month. Stay tuned!

UPDATE

The show has been scheduled for July 30th at the Angelika Mockingbird Station, Dallas, TX. Tickets $5 at the door. Classic Italian sleazoid-thriller. Don't miss it.

Come out to the Angelika Film Center on Mockingbird in Dallas this Thursday for a 35mm screening of SHOGUN ASSASSIN (1980). Tickets are $10. The show kicks off at 8pm with a selection of vintage, exploitation trailers.

Our screening of PARANOIA on June 25th will introduce a new pricing structure for Dallas Cinemania. We are going to offer two-for-one tickets...oh hell, maybe we'll just make them $5...anyway, we feel your pain and want to give you a break -- a great price for a great film. Get off the street and into the Angelika Thursday, June 25th for Umberto Lenzi's PARANOIA (1969), aka ORGASMO, starring Carroll Baker and Lou Castel. Tickets are $5!!!
