If you want to test your patience and see something truly bizarre, head to Williamsburg's Spectacle Theater for the pornographic, postapocalyptic comedy The Final Flesh. Both inane and mesmeric, The Final Flesh was scripted by Emmy-nominated comedy writer Vernon Chatman (of the acidhead kid's show parody Wonder Showzen) and produced by four different made-on-demand porn companies.
Twelve actors, none of whom look alike, play the Pollards, a family of three plagued by nonsensical religious visions after an Atom bomb explodes. For the most part, this demented mystery play isn't easy to stomach, feeling like a series of sub-dada sketches for postadolescent Adult Swim fans.
The Pollards talk to God through notes slipped under their front door wheneve...

X-Men franchise director Bryan Singer, whose first two features debuted at the Sundance Film Festival — including The Usual Suspects in 1995 — was one of the industry figures named to the Sundance juries that will judge this year’s films when the festival begins next week. Singer, who has X-Men: Days of Future Past due in May, will be one of five members of the U.S. Dramatic Jury. Other members of the juries include Tracy Chapman, Lone Scherfig, Leonard Maltin, and screenwriter Jon Spaihts (Prometheus).

In the Alamo programming office, movies are sort of our thing. We watch ‘em, we fight about ‘em, and sometimes we even book ‘em for our theatres. We bring you the greatest and most bizarre movies from the past 100 years, and also highlight some of the greatest achievements in new cinema, too.
It’s a tough job…especially when it comes time to narrow down our favorites at the end of each year. But we do it all for you.
The lists below represent the most powerful and/or entertaining films of 2010, according to Alamo programmers Tim League, Lars Nilsen, Zack Carlson, Henri Mazza, Kayla Williams, Daniel Metz, Bret Neuman, George Bragdon, and Caitlin Stevens. We hope you have some time on your hands, because you’re going to want to read everything.
In case you’re interested, you can see our combined list as a group on Badass Digest.

Back in June, we were lucky enough to have been visited by Vernon Chatman, the creator of Wonder Showzen, Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Xavier: Renegade Angel, and, I found out, the voice of Towelie on South Park. He came with his bizarro-masterpiece Final Flesh, which was actually the first ever theatrical exhibition of the film in its entirety.
Well, that experience was so awesome, even prompting Terror Tuesday Host/Alamo Programmer Zack Carlson to proclaim Final Flesh “The Film of the Year!” There was such an uproarious clamor for a repeat showing that we had to engage it for a special screening. This coming Wednesday, Final Flesh will be back, for the second-ever and possibly the last-ever showing.
Were you not part of the lucky few who got to glimpse part of heaven and most of Hell at the first Final Flesh showing? Here’s the skinny: Final Flesh is not exactly a film,...
