Turkey day at Market Street Cinema's is going to be extra special this year. Full of all the trimmings and none of the clothes. So if you don't have plans, break bread with a showgirl or 5.
Brings lots of singles.
PS: Don't forget to bring a toy for tots.
This is an exceptional ad for Orangina.
Why?
It's all about the product.
Shake yours in their contest if you want.

"The Road" *** (out of four): Oppressively, but appropriately, bleak adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's end-of-the-world novel about a father and son wandering a post-apocalyptic landscape. Points for strong performances from the two leads and the film's unyielding view of the end of days

I seem to be writing the term "post-apocalyptic" a lot lately. From the stitch-work creations that wander an animated wasteland in "9" to the tendon-chewing undead that terrorize the survivors in "Zombieland", the end-times genre is alive and well in theaters this year. The latest entry is an oppressively but appropriately bleak adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", about a father and son struggling to survive in a devastated, yes, post-apocalyptic landscape.
"Ninja Assassin" *** (out of four): Gleefully bloody martial arts tribute - about a renegade ninja hunted by his clan - makes "Kill Bill" look like an episode of "7th Heaven".
Every so often a filmmaker will decide to make the bloodiest movie imaginable. The results are typically messy but fun. "300" and "Shoot 'Em Up" spring to mind as recent examples. For a time, of course, Quentin Tarantino ruled this genre - exemplified by the bravura "Crazy 88s" sequence in "Kill Bill: Vol. 1". Now Wachowski brothers protégé James McTeigue brings us "Ninja Assassin" and, frankly, I didn't think he had it in him. "Ninja" makes "Kill Bill" look like an episode of "7th Heaven".
Some people consider long tracking shots directors showing off. Others feel they're some of the hardest things to plan and pull off in cinema. The beauty of these shots are that, when done right, you don't even notice that they're all one take. Some directors are notorious for the long shots and we've selected 10 of the best (in no particular order) after the jump.|

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.
Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 6]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.
If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.
Have fun.
