Somebody once asked me why I go to screenings of movies I’ve already seen. They didn’t mean it in a “Why did you go see THE DARK KNIGHT three times?” sort of way. No, they meant it more in a “You own THE GREAT ESCAPE on dvd and have watched it about a dozen times…why…
What a Day That Was
I’m trying to decide what it was about last night’s free showing of STOP MAKING SENSE that has turned it into one of the best nights out at the movies I’ve ever taken part in. It could be the way the “Psycho Killer” opening was momentarily drowned out by a passing Porter Airlines Q400. I…
