Much to our pleasant surprise, Dallas Cowboys star Tony Romo caught a showing of SOUTHLAND TALES this past weekend at the Angelika Dallas and was gracious enough to let us snap his picture. It’s easy on the eyes, so enjoy!

The Angelika Dallas was invaded this past weekend by one Mr. John Turturro, an impressively talented, accomplished writer/director who happens to be opening several movies with us in the near future. Turturro arrived Saturday evening to screen his film, ROMANCE AND CIGARETTES, as part of the USA Film Festival and in anticipation for its opening on 11/30 at the theater.

The film, which he wrote and directed back in 2005, is a totally unique, down and dirty musical-drama-romantic comedy set in a manic working class world. Produced by the Coen brothers, ROMANCE AND CIGARETTES stars an impossibly cool array of actors, including James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, Steve Buscemi, Mandy Moore, Bobby Cannavale, Aida Turturro, Mary-Louise Parker, Christopher Walken and Elaine Stritch.

Turturro also has a part in fellow New Yorker Noah Baumbach’s new film, MARGOT AT THE WEDDING, which opened extraordinarily well this past weekend at the Angelika New York. The film, which also stars Nicole Kidman and Jack Black, opens December 7 @ the Angelika Dallas.

Khalid Abdalla, star of the highly anticipated upcoming film THE KITE RUNNER, was on hand at the Angelika Dallas this weekend for a Q&A. The film is based on Khaled Hosseini’s acclaimed best-selling novel, and Abdalla plays Amir, a young Afghan-American man who decides to return to his home country following the fall of the Taliban. Variety calls the film a “poignant, intimate epic”, and there was no shortage of praise from our audience after this weekend’s screenings. Check out the photos of Abdalla at the Angelika below and don’t miss THE KITE RUNNER, opening 12/14 @ the Angelika Plano.

Jason Schwartzman spent some time at the Angelika Dallas this past week to promote THE DARJEELING LIMITED, his new film with Owen Wilson and Adrien Brody. Schwartzman, whose breakthrough role in the 1998 sensation RUSHMORE made him a consummate star in the indie film world, stuck around to host a Q&A with the audience, chat with fans (some who baked him homemade brownies - which he graciously accepted and ate with chutzpah) and pose with some of our Angelika staff. The Darjeeling Limited is now playing at the Angelika Dallas. Click here for showtimes and film information.

That’s what we’re trying to figure out! The Angelika Film Center has been a mainstay in independent cinema for almost twenty years now, and we’re on a mission to find out as much as we can about the loyal patrons who keep our theater going. What movie are you seeing? Who’s your favorite director? Chicken or Fish? Lindsay or Paris? Where’d you buy your shirt? (It’s really nice.) It’s all relevant, and we want to know, so each week we’ll be sending our in-house sleuth down to the theater to ask you who you are. Keep your eyes peeled and don’t be shy….we’re looking for you!
