Back Road Diner teaches us the quickest way to a man’s heart is notthrough his stomach — it’s through his chest…with a knife. The masterminds behind Troma Entertainment lay on the hip-hop in this horrific and humorous film about four boys from the hood who set out on a cross-country road trip. Along with the amber waves of grain, the childhood friends discover their New York City ghetto is no match for the redneck-filled South. During a stop at a diner, racial tensions fly…along with human appendages. It’s all set to a soundtrack featuring Afrika Bambaataa, Kingsize, Soul to the Rhythm and Digital Konfusion. Prepare to get your groove and your scream on at 10 p.m. Alamo Drafthouse — West Oaks, 1000 West Oaks Road, West Oaks Mall. For information, call 281-920-9211 or visit www.drafthouse.com/westoaks. Free.
