I went and saw Ricki and the Flash last night. I’m sorry now I didn’t book it for another week. If you like Meryl Streep you will love this film. Among her other talents, that woman can sing! It ends this Thursday along with Fantastic Four, which is no loss.

This Friday we are opening Paper Towns and The Gift. The Man from UNCLE and Mission Impossible will hold for one more week. We will have an early opening of No Escape with Owen Wilson and Pierce Brosnon on Wednesday, Aug. 26.
