With movie ticket prices rising, get the most for your money. AMC theaters increased ticket prices this weekend in several markets. At the First Colony 24, the regular matinee increased from $7 to $7.25. A full price adult ticket currently runs $9.25. I see from the Daily News article that the matinee price at my … Movie ticket price increases
Finished season 4 of The Wire last night, the best one so far. The opening theme for this season is also my favorite, followed by the original. A friend asked me to describe the show, and words can barely do it justice. Rich character development, superb writing, thought-provoking issues. I am embarrassed that I even … The best show ever
The second HD experiment… Figured I should do a cheap test before forking over a substantial chunk of change for an HDTV with QAM tuning capabilities. Grabbed a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 off Ebay and plugged the coax cable into the antenna connection. Worked exactly as I had hoped. In addition to getting all of the regular … Entouch and Clear QAM
Just noticed in the last few days that the Chronicle no longer contains movie listings for Cinemark Tinseltown Westchase. I was pretty sure that meant it was gone. Discovered this evening that the phone number has been disconnected, and someone else wrote in Yahoo! Local that the lot has been fenced.

Now I consider him a coward as well for not speaking out publicly even though he disagreed with the decision to start the war in Iraq. Although Jimmy Carter, the man to whom Ford eventually lost the election, left … …

The Wonderfalls DVD is currently scheduled to be released in January 2005.
Ah, sweet irony. This afternoon, we were at Loews Lincoln Square to catch Super Size Me, which could very well have been called Fast Food Nation: The Movie. Pretty good overall. Before it started, we tried to buy a kid’s pack (what used to be a small popcorn and small drink), but the guy behind … …
Last night we’re waiting for Hellboy at Loews Kips Bay. Fun movie, definitely recommended. I’ve made a habit of totally ignoring the pre-movie ads and previews that go well beyond tease and straight into spoilers. Instead I watch other people in the audience. This time as I’m looking around, I see a small blur scurry … …
Caught a sneak preview screening of The Girl Next Door on Saturday, and I was pleasantly surprised. Pretty funny, and naturally, that healthy dose of Elisha Cuthbert didn’t hurt… 😉 Charges Dropped Against Chaplain. Easily overlooked if you weren’t reading the weekend news. No apology of course, which is simply wrong considering that these jerks … …
