Brutal muggers kill his wife and leave him paralyzed. But a billionaire inventor offers him a second change with an artificial intelligence upgrade to his broken body. The implant — called “STEM” — gives him tremendous physical abilities. Plus, the ability to exact vengeance on those who took his wife. The Fantasy/Thriller is rated R and runs an-hour-and-a-half… and it is gory. Integrate the Science fiction into your blown mind with Upgrade at the Alamo Drafthouse, Premiere or Tinseltown.
Lubbock Community Theatre continues its run of Ripcord. It’s the story about two people in a retirement home who have to become roomies. They don’t care for the situation and pull every get-rid-of-you prank they can. It’s hysterical and runs this weekend and next, Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday matinees. Get your tickets through lubbockcommunitytheatre.org.
Johnny Knoxville returns to the big screen and it’s painful… literally and figuratively. He’s the crazy owner of a lowly amusement park, where the focus is fun and not safety. A big budget amusement park comes to town, so Knoxville and his family and friends risk everything to keep their death trap alive.
The comedy is rated R and runs almost an hour and a half. Shamelessly laugh at the pratfalls in Action Point at the Alamo Drafthouse, Premiere or Tinseltown.
That’s a look at what’s happening in the Hub City, with Joe Sherwood‘s last Entertainment Thursday.
