Us

Husband and wife Gabe and Adelaide Wilson take their kids to their beach house expecting to unplug and unwind with friends. But as night descends, their serenity turns to tension and chaos when some shocking visitors arrive uninvited.

Set to be released on Friday, March 22, "Us" already has a Tomatometer Score of 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The Atlantic's David Sims said, "Us is a glorious symphony of fear, to be sure, but it's also an ambitious sci-fi allegory and a pitch-black comedy of the haves and have-nots," while Brian Truitt of USA Today noted, "Peele is this generation's Hitchcock, for sure, but also a true American original with introspective themes in hand and suspense to spare."

Get a piece of the action at Alamo Drafthouse Westlakes (1255 S.W. Loop 410th), Santikos Embassy 14 (13707 Embassy Row), Regal Cielo Vista Stadium 18 & RPX (2828 Cinema Ridge), and Regal Alamo Quarry Stadium 16 (255 E. Basse Road) through Wednesday, March 27. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Apollo 11

A look at the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon led by commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin.

Boasting a Tomatometer Score of 99 percent and an Audience Score of 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Apollo 11" has gotten stellar reviews since its release on March 8.

"The NASA mission at the heart of the must-see documentary Apollo 11 reminds you what it feels to be truly awestruck," noted Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly, while the Associated Press's Jake Coyle said, "Apollo 11 might not tell you anything you don't already know about the moon landing. But it will make you feel it, and see it, anew."

It's playing at Santikos Bijou Cinema Bistro (4522 Fredericksburg Road) through Wednesday, Mar. 27; Regal Alamo Quarry Stadium 16 (255 E. Basse Road) through Wednesday, March 27; and Alamo Drafthouse Park North (618 N.W. Loop 410, Suite 307) through Wednesday, March 27. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Miles Morales is juggling his life between being a high school student and being a spider-man. When Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk uses a super collider, others from across the Spider-Verse are transported to this dimension.

With a Tomatometer Score of 97 percent and an Audience Score of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" has gotten stellar reviews since its release in December of 2018. The New York Times's Lawrence Ware said, "This film manages the delicate feat of embracing its source material while also satirizing it," and the Atlantic's David Sims noted, "The latest entry in a fully saturated genre that somehow, through sheer creative gumption, does something new."

Interested? It's playing at Regal Cielo Vista Stadium 18 & RPX (2828 Cinema Ridge) through Wednesday, March 27 and Regal Fiesta Stadium 16 (12631 Vance Jackson) through Tuesday, March 26. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

The Godfather, Part II

In the continuing saga of the Corleone crime family, a young Vito Corleone grows up in Sicily and in 1910s New York. In the 1950s, Michael Corleone attempts to expand the family business into Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba.

With a Tomatometer Score of 97 percent and an Audience Score of 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this '70s throwback has been a favorite of critics. The New York Daily News's Kathleen Carroll said, "It goes much deeper than The Godfather in analyzing the twisted mentalities of these men who pervert the capitalist system for their own gain. The film is richer in texture and gives more evidence of social awareness," while John H. Dorr of the Hollywood Reporter stated, "An admirable, responsible production, less emotionally disturbing than its predecessor, but a grand historical epic studying the nature of power in the United States' heritage."

It's screening at Santikos Embassy 14 (13707 Embassy Row), Santikos Northwest 14 (7600 I-10 West), Santikos Mayan Palace 14 (1918 S.W. Military Drive), and Santikos Palladium IMAX (17703 Ih 10 West) through Wednesday, March 27. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
