The video game Rampage comes to life, starring Dwayne Johnson. He’s a scientist that has formed a special bond with George the gorilla. A genetic experiment goes freaky and turns George into a giant.
Other creatures get big, too, and it’s mayhem! Johnson must deliver the antidote to stop the destruction and save George as well. It’s rated PG-13 and it’s getting mixed reviews. Help save the world and George, too, at the Alamo Drafthouse, Either Cinemark, or Stars & Stripes.

The Lubbock Community Theatre presents the tough compelling production, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot. Judas’ fate will be sealed with a court case set in Purgatory. It will certainly make you think about forgiveness and faith, and the production is just as entertaining as it is gripping. It runs for the next two weekends and includes a Thursday night show. It’s at the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts, downtown. This is an R-rated show. The language is very strong. Get your tickets through lubbockcommunitytheatre.org or at the door.
