KingBiscuits commented about Emerging Pictures has Hitchcock films available on Feb 13, 2009 at 8:47 am

I’d go to that if it were in a closer theatre than Memphis.

Turns out that The Temple Of Doom did play in 70mm, but the run didn’t start until August 31st.

I was looking on the fromscripttodvd.com website and I was surprised to find out that a 70mm engagement played here. It was Point Break, the James Cameron-produced surfing action film with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze from 1991.

Actually, Wings Of Courage has made back its $15 million budget though it took many years to do so. I’d cut it some slack considering that the film didn’t even hit 30 theatres at its widest.

Oh, crap. I got the name wrong.

That was in Percepto, a format in which the ghosts appeared in through a lens handed to the audience patron. If you didn’t want to see the ghost anymore, you could watch the movie without the lens.

4-D porn?

But seriously, I can see 3-D sticking around this time. They just need to keep up with the product flow and make more good 3-D films and reissue a few others in 3-D (the first two Toy Story films, Beauty and The Beast and the Star Wars films are also coming in 3-D).

However, we could use a little less of films like My Bloody Valentine in 3-D in which the 3-D was given more attention that the plot, acting, script or directing. I mean, even a five year old could have come up with a better ending!

I recently saw To Kill A Mockingbird here. Average crowd, original 35mm print but it got the support from local business that most area repretory shows fail to get.

Was the film Enchanted April? Both films were UK made and starred Joan Plowright.

Mickey Rooney action film? Those are two things you don’t hear together everyday.

Widows' Peak came out in 1994. But I’m not bothering you, it’s a good story anyway.

Actually, it opened on February 7th, 1986. It was later reissued on February 13th, 1987.

I wish today’s theatres were like that!

KingBiscuits commented about Remembering Cinerama (Part 19: Boston) on Jan 26, 2009 at 4:02 pm

I wonder if the films were shown intact or did the hands of the censors make cuts to the films like they did with others.

Also, that’s a pretty amazing run of Cinerama for one theatre.

Wow, Armed Forces get in for free. Somebody’s going to take advantage of that offer.

Bloody Mama must have been a good one to see. Shelley Winters and an early appearance by Robert De Niro.

You should also play some alternative fare and classic titles so to satisfy everyone. Maybe even host a independent film festival of area filmmakers.

If I came to that My Bloody Valentine Q&A, I’d them the director and writer than the directing and writing sucked.

Honestly, I believe that Paul Verhoeven should have directed the film.

Actually, scope films are letterboxed on IMAX.

It looks like the drive-in’s final film was The Exorcist on the weekend of May 18th-20th, 1979, less than seven months before the Sunrise Multiplex opened for business.

The theatre opened on March 9th, 1979 with the opening engagements being Norma Rae and Fast Break (the basketball film with Kotter as the team’s coach).

Most Wanted. I remember seeing that one on DVD. It rivals Armageddon in terms of stupidity and it’s one of many embarrassing performances for Jon Voight.
