Fall movies! Anything worth the $8, 4 commercials, and 5 previews?

Saw the restored Metropolis at the Michigan this evening. Pretty cool, like
having seen poorly dubbed and edited Japanese anime on TV and then finally
getting to the original. Not all the footage was available, which actually
serves to keep the movie from being excessively long (text screens describe
missing footage).
It was always a movie you could figure out (contrary to the restoration hype)
but the restored version is a much better movie.
Having the original orchestral score is wonderful.

APOLLO 13: The Imax Experience
Went uptown to the IMAX theater to see this over the weekend. Director
Ron Howard has taken his wonderful Apollo 13 movie and remastered it frame
by frame (which is a time consuming process) in the IMAX format. It is
something to see a full length movie with special effects blown up into an
IMAX version. The sound and the picture were just awesome. When the
rocket blasted off, and you are watching it on the gigantic IMAX movie
screen (eight stories high), you almost felt like the building itself was
shaking. Even if you have seen Apollo 13 before, it is well worth seeing
again in IMAX format.
(later this year, Star Wars: Episode II is being re-released in IMAX,
which ought to be something as well. Lucas shot that film simultaneously
in IMAX, so no remastering will need to be done)

I watched the Moulin Rouge DVD this past weekend. Made me
think I have been in training all my life to see this movie. Not
only did I recognize some of the songs, I recognized just about all
the songs (okay, found out they did sneek in an original or two).
I do feel that I could of found more music for them if they wanted.

One thing I'll say about Moulin Rouge - I still can't really figure
out whether I liked it or not - it's impossible to sleep through. Unless you
were on a coke jag at the time and crashing hard.

Re #2: Cool. I'll have to see it if the Henry Ford Museum's IMAX theater
shows it.

I should check that out, too. I've seen Apollo 113 in some of the best
exterior scenes possible.
