Calling All San Antonians: Your Guide to the Silver Screen (Because Seriously, It's Hot Out There)
Let's face it, folks, San Antonio in July is basically a giant convection oven. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Riverwalk and churros, but sometimes you just gotta escape the heat and dive into a world of popcorn-fueled entertainment. That's where your friendly neighborhood movie guide (me!) comes in.

| What Movies Are Out In San Antonio |
So, what's sizzling on the big screen this week?
We got a smorgasbord of cinematic delights to tickle your fancy. Want action that'll have you sweating more than a Texas two-step competition? There's rumors of a team-up between the Merc with a Mouth himself, Deadpool, and everyone's favorite adamantium-clawed Canadian, Wolverine. Mark my words, this is gonna be one for the history books (or at least until the next Avengers movie).
Feeling a bit more on the chills-and-thrills tip? "A Quiet Place: Day One" might be your jam. It's the prequel to that movie where everyone has to stay super quiet so they don't get eaten by creepy space monsters. Hopefully this one explains why they didn't just, you know, yell at the aliens.
For the history buffs, there's "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1." No word yet on if it involves cowboys riding dinosaurs, but hey, a good ol' Western never goes out of style in these parts.
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
And if you're looking for something a little more...unique, there's always "Kinds of Kindness" and "MaXXXine." No idea what either of those are about, but hey, that's the beauty of movies, right? Sometimes you just gotta take a chance!
Important Side Note: Alamo Drafthouse is apparently showing some cult classics this week, including "UHF" and "The Toxic Avenger." If you're feeling particularly adventurous (and maybe a little bit peckish for some questionable theater food), this might be your golden ticket (or, you know, movie ticket).
Still Stuck in Decision Purgatory?
Fear not, my indecisive friend! Here's a handy-dandy flowchart to help you navigate the cinematic landscape:
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
- Do you enjoy witty banter and excessive violence? ➡️ Deadpool & Wolverine
- Do you prefer your scares to come with a side of silence? ➡️ A Quiet Place: Day One
- Do you dream of six-shooters and Stetsons? ➡️ Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1
- Do you live life on the edge (or maybe just haven't seen many trailers)? ➡️ Kinds of Kindness or MaXXXine
- Do you miss the good ol' days of questionable special effects and cheese-tastic dialogue? ➡️ Alamo Drafthouse Cult Classics
Remember, this is just a suggestion. There are plenty of other great flicks out there, so get out there and explore!

How to sneak snacks in (because, let's be honest, movie theater snacks are a rip-off)?
