What I liked about the Batman movie was the music by Danny Elfman, the cinematography (which was brightened up for the VHS/laserdisc release), and the action scenes. Burton knew how to put the dark in the Dark Knight, and even asked Prince to do some songs for the album, which became a smash. That marriage between pop music and Batman would continue until Batman Begins, which lacked any pop music but had a memorable score, as was its successor, The Dark Knight, both of which ditched the campiness of the Schumacher series with the suspense and thrills that Christopher Nolan brought.
When I went to the Clifton Commons to see a movie the weekend that Blair Witch opened wide, the manager of the theater notified moviegoers that The Blair Witch Project was all sold out. Good thing I saw the movie a few weeks later on vacation in Kennenbunkenport, ME at a local theater in Maine. It was an OK theater, with a small crowd, but I enjoyed the movie with dad and was the second scariest movie of 1999 (alongside The Sixth Sense). Hopefully they get a Blu-Ray version of the movie, although the film was shot mostly in a 4:3 aspect ratio rather than widescreen since it was first shot on tape then transferred to film. And the audio was mostly analog Dolby. I even bought the soundtrack to the movie, which contains soundbites from the film and a great selection of indie rock music. The website was also innovative too, way before social networking sites took notice of viral marketing.
This is happening at my local multiplex, which started the NCM program in late 2008 with the Met opera series and NCM Fathom events. After they get the 3-D next weekend with the G-Force movie, they might show a play or concert in 3-D, which will be huge.
according to movietickets, the midnight showing of G-Force is 2D, and the 3D version could come out on Friday. Nearly all of the midnight showings of the second-to-last Harry Potter movie are sold out, which is a good thing.
This is great news and could provide better picture quality than that at the Clearviews, which will slowly change their digital projectors at all their theaters to 4k.
On the Google reviews for this theater, a recent moviegoer complained about the theater since she was carded when she went to see Bruno, an R-rated film. Now whenever I go see an R-rated film, I usually go with my dad or someone older than me, and this is no problem. Next time I go see an R-rated movie on my own, I’ll show my ID card much the same way I pay for an M-Rated game.
Was at the 11:10 showing of “Public Enemies” and enjoyed the movie a lot. The only complaint I had was that the movie was shot on HD video, making some action a bit jittery. This is similiar to what they did with Cloverfield, although that was a different kind of movie. The soundtrack was good, and there was a decent crowd. Paul, the guy in the wheelchair taking tickets, was nice to me and my aunt. Near the cash registers, AMC once again put up a notice about a 3D movie shown only in 2D, with Ice Age. Hopefully they get the digital 3D just in time for G-Force, which I’m not going to see.
For the time being, this theater is now showing like two indie films, Away We Go and Whatever Works with nearly all of the lineup mostly blockbuster fare. I can’t wait for “The Hurt Locker” to come out, as well as the next Harry Potter movie.
From what I heard from my dad, he went to the Wellmont to see David Bryne and enjoyed the show….although it’s not great as a rock auditorium when compared with other movie theaters turned venues. As for this theater…it’s past its prime, with the big fish now showing major art house movies (AMC has AMC Select, for example). It’s also the only art house theater left in Montclair, with the two-screen Screening Zone gone. Too bad they don’t have 3-D (Bellevue has it) if there were any 3-D indie or doc movies.
How is work going on the digital transition? Seems that Harry Potter is hopping at this theater, as well as the live concerts and movie events.

Maybe in time for the fourth Final Destination movie…which looks allright.

He must’ve been some talented guy.

slimshady, the three theaters will be monmouth mall, mountainside, and new brunswick, all former loews/sony theaters.
maybe on tuesday of next week just in time for the midnight showing of g force on friday.
what other theatres will have the projection?
Will it be the Sony 4k projectors or the 2k ones?

This theater can be seen in AMC’s new coming attractions trailer.
Me too…From watching the scene, the theater looks authentic.

thanks.
it was under the heading coming soon, with both the 2d and 3d versions listed.
looks like gforce will be the first movie to be in 3d at this theater, according to the moviewatcher newsletter.
they should kill that project and open the football stadium.

On the website, it originally says coming spring 2009.

Rockaway and most theaters in NJ missed out on showing the Michael Jackson funeral…the closest theater I found was in Chelsea, Manhattan, NY.
