Cotton candy-hued overhead lighting illuminates the historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. On the stage, an organist plays movie and Disney-themed songs on a Wurlitzer Fox Special organ pre-show. A brilliant red curtain with “Tron: Ares” superimposed.

Couldn’t pass up an opportunity to catch a flick at the wonderful El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, where an organist plays pre-show tunes!

What a magical night! Grateful to receive an invite to an advance of “Warfare” at the Director’s Guild of America.
Intense. Gruesome. Maddening. A lot like the older brother of “Blackhawk Down.”

I’d turn the page!

Just saw The Seed of the Sacred Fig. Easily the best movie I’ve seen this year, with a final act so tense one audience member let out a gasp when the lights finally came up
