Sometimes I Write

I LOVE going to the movies. Finding just the right seat. Sitting in the dimly lit theater playing the film trivia on the screen. Sipping a cold drink and munching on a good snack. Our theater lets you bring in food from restaurants in their complex. You keep the popcorn -Italian Nachos from Johnny Carino’s is MY favorite movie snack. One of my favorite things about going to the movies is watching the previews. I love knowing what’s coming and looking forward to new flicks with great anticipation.

The people who make movie trailers are geniuses. They suck you right into their web of images, music and quippy lines and you just pray they saved some of the good stuff for the actual film. It’s happened before. I’ve absolutely loved the preview for a movie and then when I paid good money for a ticket (or a rental fee), I’m disappointed and feel let down by the previews. Just the opposite has happened as well. I’ve watched a preview and thought, “rental”, and then when I finally got around to watching it, I loved it and wished I had seen it on the big screen, or at least a lot sooner than I did.

There is a movie coming out on November 21st that I CAN NOT wait to see. It was slated to release in October, so I’m a little disappointed I have to wait longer. I saw the preview for it when I went to see “Becoming Jane” – which I loved. Saw it twice. Yeah Jane Austen! Ahem…anyway. Here is the preview for you and a link to the official website which is incomplete but still draws you in. I might save my fun money and make a big chick flick date out of this one. If you’re in the Denver area, let me know if you’d care to join me! Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the preview for August Rush…or about previews in general. Ciao!
