The Texas films screening at the Texas Theatre as part of the Sundance Film Festival are not to be missed. They include a coming-of-age documentary about teenagers the filmmakers met by chance, a semi-autobiographical drama filmed on location at a horse racing track and a dark fantasy directed by a noted female horror filmmaker from Fort Worth.

How It Ends
âItâs a very weird year to try and write a preview for a film section,â Belcourt programming director Toby Leonard tells the
Scene, empathetically. He goes on to describe conversations heâs had with friends and colleagues in the world of independent film distribution lately. âEvery conversation at some point is like, âLook, anything can still change at any given time, with a couple of weeksâ notice, frankly.â â
Leonardâs widely beloved Hillsboro Village theater knows that all too well. Back in November, the Belcourt reopened for in-person screenings with limited capacity and a slew of COVID-19 safety precautions in place. The theater closed up shop and went back to virtual screenings only on Jan. 1, however, citing Tennesseeâs post-Thanksgiving spike in COVID cases.

The Sidewalk Film Festival has announced the lineup of movies that will screen in Birmingham as part of the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.

Now streaming on: Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is an idiotic ode to macho horseshite (to employ an ancient Irish word). It is however distinguished by superb cinematography. It s the first film in 10 years from Troy Duffy, whose Boondock Saints (1999) has become a cult film. It s such a legendary film, a documentary was even made about it.
No, not one of those the making of jobs. One made by two of Duffy s former pals who got pissed off during the filming. They show him as a possibly alcoholic egomaniac. You know you re in trouble when your movie scores 16 percent on the Tomatometer, and the documentary about it scores 79 percent.
