2008 was the rare year in which I missed every Oscar Best Picture nominee. Pretty depressing for a (former?) film buff. Fortunately, AMC’s hooked me up with a ticket to their all-day Best Picture Showcase being held Saturday (2/21). I may have neglected to mention to their rep that I’d planned to attend anyhow - $30 for five quality flicks (and unlimited popcorn) seems like a nice deal to me. The AMC event is being held at nearly 100 theaters around the country, and I’ll be at Tysons Corner 16 (with stadium seating) if you’d like to join me for the movie marathon:
- Milk 10:30AM
- The Reader 1:05PM
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 3:45PM
- Slumdog Millionaire 7:15PM
- Frost/Nixon 9:45PM
Although I’ve been negligent, Dale’s cranking out reviews of many Oscar nominated films and talent that may be of interest before heading to the theatre or filling your Netflix queue.
