Wednesday, August 11th, director Julie Taymor's enchanting ACROSS THE UNIVERSE combines musical forces with SOMETHING UNDERGROUND'S "ALL-STAR BEATLES REVIEW", for an evening carnival of site and sound! Film on the Rocks is wrapping up another successful season with 7 of the 9 shows selling-out. Across the Universe is expected to sell out too, so get your tickets soon for the last show of 2010.
'Clueless' comes to Film on the Rocks on Tuesday, July 27. If you love 'Clueless' and you like "doing stuff for other people", how about a chance to win dinner and a concert at Red Rocks? Simply bring your gently used clothing to the show on Tuesday. Donation Stations will be located at all three ticket gates. For every five items you donate, you will receive a chance to win dinner for two at Red Rock's Ship Rock Grille and two tickets to the concert of your choice (based on availability). Donations will be accepted until 8pm, and the winner will be announced on-stage by comedian Chuck Roy at 8:30pm. Bop Skizzum will be the musical guest that evening and we have no doubt that they will rock the audience into a blow off some steam, burn it up, funk-frenzy.
Monday, July 19 MONTY PYTHON & THE HOLY GRAIL will return to Film on the Rocks and it will be hard to determine what's louder, the sound of thousands of people laughing or the sound of thousands of coconuts being knocked together.
JOHNNY BARBER & THE RHYTHM RAZORS will prime the audience beforehand with their authentic Rockabilly sound.
Tuesday, July 6th there is no better place to be than Red Rocks for Film on the Rocks. The Cohen brother's colorful and unconventional comedy RAISING ARIZONA will be the frosting on the cake to a great evening line up. The delightful and witty Danielle of DANIELLE ATE THE SANDWICH will get the evening underway, followed by GRACE POTTER AND THE NOCTURNALS making a stop on their current national tour across the country.
Tonight, stop everything and head up to Red Rocks for John Hughes' classic high school hooky film, 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' Seventeen-year-old Zach Heckendorf will kick off the pre-movie concerts, followed by one of Denver's most unique musicians, Ian Cooke.
Each week this summer, a favorite film paired with a band will appear at Red Rocks Amphitheatre hosted by local comedians - a thoroughly entertaining evening for all. Tickets are $10, parking is free. Shows do sell-out so patrons are encouraged to buy tickets early at denverfilm.org.
'Office Space' is the perfect flick to see tonight at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. It's hard to believe, but just as Film on the Rocks celebrates 10 years, so does Mike Judge's 'Office Space'.
Gregory Alan Isakov will delight your ears as he and band members play a set of wonderful folk/indie rock before the film. Currently on his national tour, Gregory Alan Isakov, has been voted by Denver Westword's best Male singer/songwriter in 2007. Isakov was born in South Africa and now resides in Boulder, Colorado, when he's not on tour.
Also touring nationally, comedian, Troy Baxley, will take stage before' Office Space' to help get some laughs in your week. Baxley has been a national finalist in the HBO Comedy Festival.
But wait, there's more! HealthONE will take stage early in the night for a Guitar Hero competition, then two round trip tickets from Southwest Airlines will be given away to a lucky winner, and another Xbox 360 will be given away this week to one lucky winner through a text-to-win contest during the show, as well another Xbox 360 t-shirt toss.
