Now Showing. Next Attraction. Coming Soon

My eldest son, Bryan, and I finally got to see the movie "Inception" last night at the THX theatre of Greenbelt. For over two hours we were glued to the screen. I was just bowled over by this masterpiece by Christopher Nolan. The guy is a true creative genius. Even the ending leaves one wondering whether Di Caprio's character finally made it to the real world or to what's just real in his own mind. Wow! But more than the movie was the opportunity to bond with Bryan.

But before the main feature was shown, we were treated to the future attractions. What caught our interest is the next attraction movie "The Expendables". This one promises to be the action movie of the year or rather the action stars movie of the year. Consider: Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Eric Roberts, etc., etc. in one movie. Bryan and I agreed that this Stallone-written movie will be a perfect movie date for us.

Another movie that caught our fancy is a coming attraction. The third movie of the Narnia series, "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" will not only be a movie date for Bryan and me, but also for the rest of the family as well. Monette, Niccolo and Jonathan are all Narnia movie fans.

This entry is not meant to talk about the story lines or plots of the selected movies. I just want to share with you some forthcoming feature films that are worth looking forward to and which you can watch with other members of your family. Family, movies, and popcorn. The perfect combination.
