FYI, these classic film series also play at Regal and Cinemark, if there's not an AMC location near you. http://www.regmovies.com/Promotions/Classic-Film-Series?sf17182272=1 http://www.cinemark.com/cinemark-classic-series Some of the previous series were all Warner titles. I don't know what...

Actually, if you upgrade (from DVD) to BluRay, you can indeed get the original mono soundtrack to Jaws, in addition to a well-reviewed 7.1 mix, which is allegedly much more respectfully done than the 5.1 mix first done for DVD many years ago (which added new or replacement sound effects).

As far as the holiday classic series goes, Regal does not seem to be participating, while AMC will be showing A Christmas Story this coming Sunday and Wednesday, instead of Elf which will be at the Cinemark locations. see here: https://www.amctheatres.com/amc-classics-series versus...

I saw JFK Sunday afternoon and it looked great. However I do want to prepare anyone who may go to either showing (2 pm or 7 pm) on Wednesday: this is the 206 minute director's cut AND before the film you are "treated" to a 17 minute excerpt from Stone's Showtime series "Untold History" focusing...

Actually, I'd prefer less 3d altogether. I was hoping the fad would fade away like it did in the 1980s after the run of threequels killed it (Friday the 13th Part 3, Jaws 3-D, and Amityville 3-D). Obviously that's not going to happen this time since 3d has invaded our homes as well as our...

IMAX has their screens pretty well booked until April. After Catching Fire, they have The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug in December; I, Frankenstein in late January; Robocop in February; 300: Rise of an Empire and Divergent in March. Only a documentary on Lemurs (narrated by Morgan Freeman of...

"doomed to failure" ? I guess the $476 million worldwide (and counting) that Gravity took in is a failure? FWIW, here is Bertolucci defending his 3D Last Emperor: http://m.craveonline.com/film/articles/603147-afi-2013-roundtable-bernardo-bertolucci-on-the-last-emperor-3d

Okay, I haven't been to that theater yet (over 1 hr. away), so my question for Tino is this: suppose the movie you want to see is NOT showing in IMAX, but is available in ETX. Do you choose ETX or just see it in a "regular" auditorium? And as a followup, how often does it happen that different...

If the FBI shut down commercial air travel, how did Liz's hubby travel to Nebraska to try to see her father? They explained away Reddington's traveling via private jet, but what about Tom?

I picked up a little photocopied flyer at my Cinemark with the the next 4 classic series titles, all holiday themed: Elf, November 24 and 27 White Christmas, December 1 and 4 National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, December 8 and 11 It's A Wonderful Life, December 15 and 18 (Encore Presentation...

That depends...the AMC Garden State in Paramus, NJ has Dolby Atmos in the ETX auditorium, not the IMAX, since IMAX has its own proprietary sound system/format. I believe IMAX uses a single large speaker in each back corner for the surround channels, vs the array of speakers along the side and...

Yes, seeing any movie on a BIG, bright (properly lit) screen with a good sound system (can play loud without distortion) is always a good thing. No, they cannot show IMAX movies, which are simply standard films that have undergone some proprietary image processing. What stinks is having to pay...

This reminds me of another issue I don't clearly understand. For films from the Dolby Stereo era, why release 2.0 matrix surround tracks on dvd/blu-ray? Why not 4.0? Did studios not preserve the LCRS tracks, only the Lt/Rt? Would the LCRS sound different because they were mixed to compensate for...

Bring up colorization and movie fans hit Red Alert. Talk about post-converted 3D and some will say it depends on how well it's done - and there is always the option to stick with the 2D version. Yet I feel like I'm the only one asking for original monophonic soundtracks. I saw Dirty Harry on...

If you will be in the Pocono (Pennsylvania) area on Sunday, November 17 you can see Oliver! on the "big" screen. http://poconocommunitytheater.org/events/reel-arts-pct-program/pct-revival-series/ Note: I do not work for this theater, I am only a fan and member. (they're a non-profit) Although...
