Back Road Diner teaches us the quickest way to a manย’s heart is not through his stomach ย— itย’s through his chestย…with a knife. The horrific and humorous masterminds behind Troma Entertainment lay on the hip-hop in this 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 flyย…along with human appendages. Itย’s all set to a soundtrack featuring Afrika Bambaataa, Kingsize, Soul to the Rythm and Digital Konfusion. Prepare to get your groove and your scream on at 10 p.m. Alamo Drafthouse ย— West Oaks, 1000 West Oaks Road, West Oaks Mall. For information, call 281-920-9211 or visit www.drafthouse.com/westoaks.
