Immersive theater at its best
Another show that my daughter and I saw as it was on its way out. It was our first time seeing an immersive show so I made sure to get us tickets at the tables rather than the stadium seating.
It was a tiny little theater with a stage smaller than I've seen in some schools so you couldn't help but feel like you were part of the show. Because of its small size, it was a fixed stage, with no room for set changes. There were different sections of the stage to make it feel as though you were in the pie shop or the barber shop.
During some of the dance numbers, the cast would dance on the tables we were seated at. Even if you opted for the stadium seats, there was some movement of the cast through those seats as well.
When buying the tickets, you had the option to purchase tickets with or without pies. They had both meat pies and vegetarian pies. When we arrived, they had run out of pies even though we'd purchased ahead. Instead of being able to eat them prior to the show, we had to pick them up after the show was over. It wasn't a huge deal, but when you're hungry and can smell other people's pies, it can be a bit distracting.

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Split (2016) in Movies
Jan 22, 2021
This is Russ. I went and saw the new M. Night Shyamalan movie Split today, and let me tell you...Hey, this is Stephen. I'm in the light now. So, we saw Split today. It's the best movie of 2017 I've seen. It's also the only movie of 2017 I've seen so far. Sit down Stephen! This is Arnie, and yeah, Split was amazing! It was as thrilling as climbing a water tower. Damn it Arnie, sit back down! Don't make me release the beast! Sorry about that, this is Russ again, back in the light. Split is one of M. Night Shyamalan's best movies to date. There have been movies about people with split personalites in the past, but this is definitely one of the most original takes on the subject matter. This is happening, you don't need a sixth sense to see it, just follow the signs, leave your village, and take a visit to your local theater and see this movie. James McAvoy gives a great performance, or performances I should say, and the 'survivor girl' Anya Taylor-Joy is unbreakable. A solid thriller that deserves to be in the light right now. Oh, and make sure you don't leave the theater before the credits roll, because the last scene ties the movie into another of Shyamalan's. I won't say which, but I was grinning ear to ear with the tie-in.

Laura (45 KP) rated My Bloody Valentine 3-D (2009) in Movies
Nov 15, 2017
The first time I watched this movie was in 3D at the theater and the effects made it a little more gross. Which is great, because it's a slasher movie. Slasher movies aren't always the highest quality, but this is a fun, bloody movie with a twist that got me in the end. I was suspicious of almost every character at some point.
The problem I found on my recent viewing was minor and weird, but this takes place in a coal town in central Pennsylvania. In February. I grew up there, it's cold. But no one wears a real coat or even looks chilly in this whole movie. Just had to make that bother someone else ?

Erika (17788 KP) rated Shazam! (2019) in Movies
Apr 5, 2019 (Updated Apr 5, 2019)
Firstly, I cannot stand the strange, padded muscles on Shazam. I guess it's kind of meant to look jokey? Was it intentional? It bothered me the entire movie. I also have a problem with people playing multiple superheroes.
The story for the film was entertaining throughout, but it was a little long. It could have definitely done with a good edit. I did actually laugh in the theater, but I don't think it was really funny enough to be a comedy. It was strange, it was trying to be for both kids and adults, but was too adult for kids, and too kiddish for adults, if that makes sense.
