West Side Story Returns to the Big Screen for One Night Only
I wonder if this was scanned in 4K and, if it was, if it will be shown that way. Hopefully they also letterbox the 2.20:1 image in a regular Scope frame, because if not, the projectionists will be screwing up left and right. Ahh digital... Give it to me in 70.— November 3, 2011 4:40 p.m.
A Perryfic Red Carpet Video Interview With Perry Chen
You mean you don't own your own prints of TAXI DRIVER and RAGING BULL, Scott? This is one of the best things committed to YouTube this year, this decade...— October 31, 2011 11:31 a.m.
Arclight Cinemas Coming to UTC in 2012
The best thing about ArcLight's Hollywood location (their only other built-from-the-ground-up version, sans the Dome of course) is that it has side-masking -- the only modern megaplex I know of that allows Scope films room to breathe. Their two big, 410-seat auditoriums are probably the best pieces of megaplex construction in existence. And if I know my ArcLight, they won't make Cinépolis' mistakes as far as the luxury experience is concerned. Even though the food is touted heavily in that press release, there is no in-seat dining or any of that distracting crappola... They simply have a restaurant in the lobby, which is actually pretty good. The $18.50 price-point is a slight hyperbole on the Wrap's part--that's what a 3-D peak ticket will set you back at their Hollywood (highest profile) location--and the usual $13.50-$15 that ArcLights run tends to be more than worth it. Reserved seating for in-demand shows (so you never have to wait in line, even for HARRY POTTER at midnight) is the gift that keeps on giving.... Perhaps more significantly, they routinely do 35mm repertory programming at all locations, which would be a true add to the San Diego market. I hate to make a pop-culture pratfall, but to paraphrase Rebecca Black: "We we we so excited / We so excited..."— September 8, 2011 1:36 p.m.
Danny Baldwin Rates the Cinépolis Experience
I had the same hope, but I think it's going to take more than time to save this operation. Hopefully they're paying attention to this article. The truth is, there are many beautifully built new theaters out there, but ultimately, the service and presentation are what matter. I would love to have enjoyed "The Help" from one of those comfy recliners, but I'd take the sparkling 35mm presentation I saw today in a rock-hard AMC La Jolla seat to only 78% of the picture in a LazyBoy-clone anytime.— August 13, 2011 4:04 p.m.
