‘Raiders’ boys return
The fabled shot-for-shot remake of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” — “Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation” — is coming back to the Alamo Downtown, where it played to much commotion in 2002. There’s a lot of incredible backstory here, which you can read at the Alamo site. You can also grab your tickets for the screenings there.
The adaptation is playing with the real “Raiders” July 28 and 29. And the three adaptation filmmakers, who were teens when they shot it, will be there, too.

‘Scanner’ score played live
After selling out the Alamo earlier this month, Graham Reynolds and his musical cohorts are doing an encore performance of their “A Scanner Darkly” score at 7 p.m. Aug. 3 at the Alamo South.
Reynolds will play excerpts from his haunting score for 30 minutes before a screening of Richard Linklater’s sci-fi meditation “A Scanner Darkly,” peppering each piece with remarks about their creation.
Reynolds’ “Scanner” soundtrack is available in stores and at iTunes. Get tickets for the show at the Alamo Drafthouse site.
The previous show looked like this:

Goodnight, M. Night
You don’t have to settle with my take on the new M. Night Shyamalan fiasco. For some fun slammin’, check out the critical round-ups for “Lady in the Water” at Rotten Tomatoes, where the turgid fantasy earns an average 24-percent “rotten” rating, and Metacritic, where the fatuous movie earns a lamentable 34-percent rating.
