Your opinion might have been colored by the fact that you had a date.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 08-19-2006 12:40 AM                     It is not a true AMC presentation without at least one brainwrap. You really can't get your money's worth unless there are two in one show.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-19-2006 01:35 AM                     Joe didn't say that there wasn't a brainwrap. After all do you really think he was paying attention to the movie the entire time? Ok The Joe and The Jen, was this in Colorado or Arizona? If you list a presentation review in your movie review, you should list the theater being written about.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-19-2006 01:43 AM                        Colorado... Highlands Ranch 24. Lots of uppity white people there. They were confused when Samuel L. Jackson came on the screen.  |  IP: Logged Alex Grueneberg Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Chicago, IL Registered: Aug 2004 posted 08-19-2006 01:50 AM                        This movie is pretty much just a good time. Good wholesome R rated fun. None the less, I had some 425 people 10pm show. A few of them decided to sneak in nearly 300 small rubber snakes and throw them all over the place during the climax fight snake scene. The operation was well coordinated and saturated the theater within seconds. I've never seen this much audience participation.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 08-19-2006 09:54 PM                     Ummmm, this was positively aweful. Yes, it worked somewhat because some of it was just hilarious but it was too long. I saw it in an uncrowded matinee so maybe it would have been more enjoyable with a big audience. I don't even know how to rate it. Like I said, it was an aweful movie but it was so bad that it was somewhat entertaining. I won't give it a rating, I'll just leave it at that. Snakes on a train coming summer 2007! **********SPOILER***************** Why did I find it so hilarious that they had a bottle of olive oil on board?  |  IP: Logged Ian Woloschin Film Handler Posts: 54 From: Worcester, MA, USA Registered: Mar 2006 posted 08-20-2006 07:45 AM                        Rather hilarious movie, wish there were more one liners though too. The best part was afterwards asking the projectionist how he fixed the warbly sound in the beginning (because my theater has the same problem) and him taking us up into the booth and showing us a single well placed toothbrush. I went out and bought a "35mm sound alignment tool" as soon as I left the theater .  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 08-20-2006 10:18 AM                     quote: Brad Miller Joe didn't say that there wasn't a brainwrap.

Ya know, for a guy who invents stuff for a living, you sure do have a hard time figuring stuff out. quote: Joe Redifer but I must say that this is definitely the best AMC presentation I have ever seen in my entire life and may be the best presentation in all of AMC history. It could not possibly have been the best because there was no brainwrap. AMC patrons look forward to them. In fact, AMC urges "projectionists" to screw up more often so the customers can buy more concessions without missing much of the movie.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-20-2006 12:57 PM                        To be honest I don't think I've ever seen a brainwrap when I've been a member of a real audience anywhere. I only saw them on my shifts as a projectionist right after the mid day shift change when Ian opened, he left, and fun ensued!  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 08-20-2006 07:16 PM                        CINEMA: Harkins Northfield 18, Denver, CO AUDITORIUM: "Cine Capri" (a.k.a. "1") PRESENTATION: 35mm/Dolby Digital PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: None RATING: Three stars (out of four) You pay a two dollar premium to see movies in this room, which means you're paying the same thing the local AMC's charge for all their auditoriums. For the extra two bucks you get what is basically Auditorium 13 at Megaplex 17 at Jordan Commons, but with different decor and Klipsch surrounds (28 for those wagering). And they play classical music before the show. It's a little loud, and it sounds HORRIBLE. It sounds like a low bitrate MP3. The feature sounded way better than "Little Miss Sunshine" did yesterday. Nonetheless, in comparison to the other auditorium in this building I've seen a movie at, it's worth the two bucks. THE PLOT: Some guy witnesses a murder and is dumb enough to tear off on his noisy bike instead of just hiding till the bad guys leave. They somehow figure out who he is and decide to off him too. The feds also somehow figure out who he is and corral him as a witness. They have to fly to Los Angeles from Hawaii for the trial. What could POSSIBLY go wrong? The audience I saw this with had every bit as much fun watching it as others have noted previously. It was full of holes and absurdities, but it moved along quickly and obviously didn't take itself seriously enough that nobody cared. Yes, this audience did pop for Jackson's big line.  |  IP: Logged Kara Tillotson Film Handler Posts: 87 From: Manistee Mi Registered: Jul 2006 posted 08-22-2006 04:59 PM                        Snakes seems to be barely slithering in the box office. I literally sold ONE ticket today to snakes, and am still selling tickets every day to taladega.  |  IP: Logged Nick Scott Expert Film Handler Posts: 133 From: nsw austrailia Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-22-2006 07:20 PM                        Only a few words to describe this one. Awesome.... Intense.... Entertaining.... Stupid.... And that about sums it up.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 08-23-2006 05:02 PM                     I agree with everyone. This was a GREAT film, in a weird way. Just great fun all around. I really didn't want to get up to refill my soda because I was afraid I'd miss something. And the eye candy!!! Definately an 8 overall for the Greco scale... I found myself saying DAMN, alot through it all... 4/5  |  IP: Logged William Clark Film Handler Posts: 19 From: Mililani, HI, United States Registered: Aug 2006 posted 08-27-2006 01:07 AM                     I think I can honestly say that this is the best film ever made.  |  IP: Logged Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 08-29-2006 11:15 AM                     Regal Atlantic Station 16 - Atlanta. Presentation was good, but do we really care as long as it is above average for this kind of movie? Snake on Tit- Great "Snake" peeing on snake - priceless "Snake" on Snake (the peeing scene): awesome Snake sodomizing Roseanne lookalike - HA HA. Dog in a Snake - nutritious Snake on British Twit - Cathartic Sam Jackson's Snake in Julianne Marguilles - Directors Cut  |  IP: Logged
