Visit the best in downtown Austin art house cinema! The Violet Crown Cinema is my favorite place to catch movies. Right in the 2nd Street district, it offers cushy recliner seats and an urban chic lounge for a nightcap after the movie.

"Bernie" starring Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, and Shirley MacLaine. This film was made right here in Texas! A lot of it in Bastrop. Check it out!

About the movie:

"Bernie"

In the tiny, rural town of Carthage, TX, assistant funeral director Bernie Tiede was one of the town's most beloved residents. He taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Everyone loved and appreciated Bernie, so it came as no surprise when he befriended Marjorie Nugent, an affluent widow who was as well known for her sour attitude as her fortune. Bernie frequently traveled with Marjorie and even managed her banking affairs. Marjorie quickly became fully dependent on Bernie and his generosity and Bernie struggled to meet her increasing demands. Bernie continued to handle her affairs, and the townspeople went months without seeing Marjorie. The people of Carthage were shocked when it was reported that Marjorie Nugent had been dead for some time, and Bernie Tiede was being charged with the murder.

All seating is by reservation. We will be going to the 7:50 showing for Tuesday, June 5th. One thing I like a lot about this theater is that you can choose your seat, similar to when you purchase an airline ticket. Pretty cool!
