I haven't been this excited about going to the movies in the longest time. Firstly, I have discovered the AMC theatre in Dartmouth, where every movie ticket is five dollars, any time, any day except for Fridays and Saturdays. That means that I can finally get all the candy and soda I want.
Of course, going to the movies wouldn't be as great if there weren't awesome movies out this summer. The first one that must be mentioned is of course, Harry Potter. Even for the non-Harry Potter fan this was a great movie. I haven't been impressed with a Harry Potter movie in a long long time, they always seem to butcher the great story line out of it, and end up giving you an amalgamation of stupid facts. Not this one!!!
The second great movie out this summer is District 9. All that can truly be said is "Awesome movie, everyone needs to see it".
The last movie I've seen this summer and have been truly, truly impressed with is Let the Right One In. This is a Swedish vampire movie, and it is the best vampire movie I've seen since Interview with the Vampire. This movie is so unlike Twilight that it was a relief to see it. Supposedly, some director is going to be Americanizing it, which is truly a shame
Going to the movies has always been one of my most favorite things to do, and this summer and next year look to be real block buster treats.

So here is where I start to sound really OLD.... After paying $7.50 each for a matinee this weekend (500 DAYS OF SUMMER, if you're scoring at home), I recalled how in high school we used to go to a place in Tucson called CINEWORLD, where all movies were a buck. We saw so many films--it didn't matter what we were even seeing. For a buck, who cares?! We were out of the house, and that was just about all that mattered....
ReplyDeleteThe blog looks good! I encourage you to start playing around with importing pix & video, etc.....
"..a huge leap forward in film technology -- likened to the first movie in sound or with Technicolor."
ReplyDeleteINCREDIBLE! Great article, thanks for posting the link! I agree that the introduction of the computer animated film certainly opened the doors to an entirely new theatrical phenomenon. Just within the past ten years 3D and CGI cinematography has taken the industry by storm. While I may not be the biggest fan of sci-fi films, I don't think I'll pass up the chance to see "Avatar" in Dec.
