Thanks Yrol!
I was utterly perplexed when the scene I knew to be in the flick turned out not to be! I could only guess that the projectionist made a mistake!

There was a Hannah Montana 3D movie? How come nobody tells me these things!
Cool about the digital projector. Is it obvious on the ticket kiosk if the showing you select is a digital print? If lots of theatres have invested in digital, that bodes very well for Star Wars 3D.
I will try to make it to the 7:00 show. I'll call you later.

No - for some reason, it's not advertised (but I think it might be mentioned as a sidebar on the website). And unfortunately, not many of the kids working there know either (I just happen to be a huge movie nerd, so I make sure to look this stuff up or ask about it).
Hopefully we'll see you tonight

SPEED RACER....is not for everyone.
But it was for me! Brilliant effects make this movie really POP. They've done what they set out to do. Make a live action version of the cartoon.
The story is pretty simple (as were the plots in the cartoon) and the action is frenetic. The race scenes were unbelievably cool!!
It's too bad it's getting a bad rep - because I really enjoyed it. It's a wonderful work of art.

Empire theatres (North and South) are hosting midnight showings of Indy 4 tomorrow night (for those interested).
For some reason, Cineplex isn't ?????

Damn you Cineplex!
I work until 10:00pm so a midnight show would suit me to the ground.
Empire 16 in Country Hills might make for the better bet. A group outing might be considerable fun. Thoughts?

Okay, so both myself and my brother Dooks are heading to the midnight show at Empire 16 in Country Hills. DarthPaul, if you're up for it we can meet you there and line up a little after ten. I know JediRanger is interested in coming as well. Anyone else want in?

Caught Prince Caspian the other night. Really good flick. Decidedly different from the book, but they had to make those alterations in order for the movie to work (the book is pretty short on it's own). Great battle sequences - my favourite was the fight between Peter and Miraz. Found it interesting that the film makers made the Telmarines very 'Spanish-esque' and the Narnians very 'British'. I certainly didn't get that vibe from the book.
Any word from our midnight marauders on Indy 4??

Epic fun. It's definitely up there with Temple of Doom and Last Crusade in my estimation of the Jones movies. A helluva fun romp with a couple good laughs, fell villains, stalwart heroes, and a great premise made for an incredibly enjoyable late night.
Of course, now I'm falling asleep at the keys. . .oof.

Well I finally seen Indy and I'm still not to sure what to think. It definitely wasn't Raiders, Crusade or Temple of Doom. For me it didn't have that good ole Indy magic. Maybe it was Harrison Ford being really old now and not the good ole Indy we saw when were younger. I sat waiting for Indy to show up but for me he never did. After seeing Harrison Ford as a really old Indy I'm sort of glad he said he never reprise the role of Han Solo as it would really tarnish that smugglers image.
But thats just my 2 cents.
Prince Caspian on the other hand was very well done. Lots of action and a great story. The nice thing about it it didn't need to provide any back story and got right into it. Even though it was 2 1/2 hours the time flew by with all the action going on.

I thought Crystal Skull was the best of the Indy movies. I don't see what you mean by no "Indy magic" because I saw that right from the get go with all the tricks he pulled in the first scene he was in. For me, it was the perfect Indy movie. I thought it was exactly as it should have been.

I'd have to agree with PreludeRm on this one. I'm still trying to scrub the memory of Indy4 from my memory - so disappointing.
But I did like the alien story bit - thanks George!
