This Week at the Reel Deal
Column By JIM O’DONNELLReel Deal Theater
This Friday, the Reel Deal will open The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. The top critics are rating it at 100 percent. It was shot in New Zealand and the amazing cinematography takes full advantage of the islands beauty. It will be really busy opening weekend so come early. The run time is 2:41 hours, so we will not have a late show. Our latest show is at 7:30 p.m. every day.
The theater is holding Frozen, Hunger Games, and Out of the Furnace.
