During the summer around here, people try to pack an entire year's worth of activities into three months. It's as if there's a mad rush to make up for the months that were wet and grey. We can partake in festivals, concerts, and parades. Of course, all sorts of outdoor activities are on offer. Finally, let's not forget it's the summer blockbuster movie season too.
At the moment there are all sorts films playing that we'd like to see. Of course there are a number, we could care less about. Here's what's playing at Silvercity Coquitlam today.
The X-Files, I Want to Believe
Step Brothers
Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
The Dark Knight
Space Chimps
Mama Mia!
Hell-Boy II: The Golden Army
Hancock
Wall-E
Wanter
Kung Fu Panda
Get Smart
Sex And the City
Journey to the Center of the Earth (3-D)
I think we'll probably try to put on funny glasses. I'm ready for some mindless movie-going fun.
Putting in my DVD copy of the
Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) will not be able to get me ready for modern special effects. There were no computer graphics during the year I was born. However, if today's Brendan Fraser version doesn't have goose named Gertrude, I'll be disappointed.
