Movie Update

Brokeback Mountain will not be in Wilmington this week but I am holding faith that it will be here soon enough. I can't imagine theaters holding out on the payday that will certainly come when Brokeback arrives. This film is getting nominated for awards faster than it is being bashed by right wing "critics" who are convinced that the movie was only made to turn the nations heartland gay. And it has broken the Per-Theatre average for any film. It pulled in an average of $14,000 per screen a couple of weekends ago. So in conclusion no Brokeback this weekend in Wilmington, but hopefully next weekend or sometime soon.

In addition the new Terrence Malick film The New World is due out on Jan. 20th. I know this is coming to Mayfaire as they have had posters up for it for several months. If you enjoyed The Thin Red Line or one of his earlier efforts than you will be in for a treat. It has been said that the film is beatifully shot and contains a great story that sheds light on both sides of the story that occured at Jamestown when America was colonized by the British.
