Decided to catch a movie (Cloverfield) in Christiansburg while Amy did some shopping and bingo. As luck would have it, had some last-minute drop-ins that prevented leaving the studio on time.
The Regal Cinemas web site showed Cloverfield starting at 5:05. We left for C’Burg at 4:45. By the time we hit 460 it was 5:10.
No problem. Learned long ago that the Regal multiplex in Christiansburg shows at least 15 minutes of previews before the show starts.
At 5:20, with large drink and medium popcorn in hand, walked into the auditorium. Previews still running. Had time to fine a good seat, put away coat, drink and popcorn, turn to rest room, and return. Movie started at 5:35.
Oh yes. Enjoyed the film. For some reason, watching skyscraper size monsters destroy Manhattan is usually entertaining.
Doug, we went to see “Cloverfield” last night upon your recommendation. Despite the bad reviews from many critics, the theater in Bethesda, Maryland was packed. I think word of mouth is driving the movie’s popularity. We really got a kick out of this film! No, it certainly wasn’t perfect, but it was very clever and the most realistic monster movie most of us will see. For those who like science fiction or horror movies, I’d give it a try! One note: if scenes reminiscent of 9/11 bother you, pass this one up.
