Two weeks from now, I plan on leaving work early. I’ll head to a theater no more than ten minutes from my home. I may change first; I may not. When I get there, I’ll buy a bowl of popcorn and head to my seat - preferably in the front row - and I’ll sit there as long as my backside will allow. I’ll take in a movie or two, maybe three. And the best part of it all? It’s free. The European Film Festival in San Antonio always is.

Last night I stood in a line for an hour or so and ended up sitting in a perfect seat to watch the new Batman movie. I’m not really a big fan of comic books, or even comic book movies, but the last Batman took me by surprise and after seeing the previews I kind of had to see this one…

I’m not sure if I have written about the movie Once before. To be honest, I’m not too worried about it. If I have it doesn’t bother me, the movie is so good it’s worth writing about again. So, whether I have said it before or not, I’ll say it now: You have to see the movie Once.

So, I went and saw the movie 300 last night. Holy Cow. It was easily the coolest thing I have seen in a very long time. If you haven’t heard of the movie 300 then you’ve probably lived under a rock for the last month or two. I somehow convinced Stephanie to come with me and we bought tickets online to see it opening night at the IMAX theater here. I have to admit, I was a little worried. I had been waiting to see this movie for a long time, and all this week I watched the same trailer over and over again.
