best picture showcase 2010 – day 2

March 7th, 2010 Neil No comments

Saturday was Day 2 of AMC’s Best Picture Showcase. Daniel, however, was unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict at work. I met my friend and his sister at the First Watch restaurant for breakfast in Chesterfield. I had myself a Far West omelette; pretty tasty, and if I may add, no upset stomach this week.

best picture showcase 2010 – day 1

February 28th, 2010 Neil No comments

After the announcement was made that the Academy Awards would have 10 Best Picture nominees this year, there was speculation on whether AMC Theaters would continue their Best Picture Showcase. Well, I’m happy to see they are; they decided to show the 10 films over the span of 2 Saturdays. Yesterday, I took Daniel and his friend to the theaters in Chesterfield Mall.

Knowing – 3 out of 5 – this sci-fi thriller stars Nicolas Cage as a professor whose son comes upon a list of numbers obtained from a time capsule buried 50 years ago. After a closer look, he determines the numbers are predictions of actual disasters that have happened since the list’s creation, and there are more that have yet to occur. A great story that took us for a ride. Plenty of great special effects (especially the New York sequence). Would’ve given 4 stars, but CL and I felt gypped by the end.
