It's quietly been an international sensation for generations, attracting everyone from giggling bunches of 'tweens to competitive grannies, drag queens in full diva regalia to hipsters - all anxious to win the coveted cash and prizes. It's bingo, a phenomenon filmmaker John Jeffcoat hopes to capture, if not analyze and explain, in the tongue-in-cheek Bingo! The Documentary. With the story hopping from the United States to Ireland and England and back again, it's a little difficult to connect with any of the characters in a meaningful way - but then you realize, it's the game that's important here, not the people who play it. See who's a fan and who's a fanatic, get the inside scoop on bingo fiends, and maybe even learn a few winning tricks for yourself today at 7 p.m. Alamo Drafhouse, 1000 West Oaks Mall. For information, call 281-920-9211 or visit www.drafthouse.com/westoaks.
