The Theater District, a 17-block area in the heart of downtown Houston, is home to Bayou Place Entertainment Complex, restaurants, movies, plazas and parks. Bayou Place is a large multilevel building that is home to full service restaurants, bars, live music, billiards, multiple theatres and art house films. The Houston Verizon Wireless Theatre stages a variety of live concerts and the Angelika Theatre presents the latest in art, foreign and independent films.
Houston is home to many parks including Hermann Park, which houses the Houston Zoo and the Houston Museum of Natural Science. What was once the Houston Civic Center was replaced by the George R. Brown Convention Center, one of the nation's largest; and the Jesse H. Jones Hall for the Performing Arts, home of the Houston Symphony Orchestra. Sam Houston Coliseum and Music Hall have been replaced by the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts.
Other tourist attractions include the Galleria, Houston's largest shopping mall located in the Uptown District, Old Market Square, Sam Houston Historical Park, which contains restored homes (built between 1824 and 1868) and reconstructed buildings. The San Jacinto battlefield is in the nearby city of Deer Park. The Port of Houston offers free, 90-minute cruises (except on Mondays and during September).

Back in 1986 there was a TV series called "Outlaws." Five cowboys are sent forward through time from 1886 to 1986, and fight crime. They called a "TV" a picture box. It took place in Houston. There were only 12 episodes including the pilot.

Definitely. The ones I know of are "Robocop1"(maybe the sequels were too) and "Terms of Interment"(it's sequel , Evening Star, may have been too)
Note: There is a growing trend towards Militant Islam in Houston. It's quite odd and difficult to explain.

Yes plenty of films are shot here, all you need to do is go to the Texas Film commission site to check when & where they are filming next.
