I took my mom to see a matinee this afternoon. We went to the theater in the old Oaks Shopping Center. It's been revamped as a bargain movie house called "Blue Light Cinemas" . Tickets were only $3.75. There were a number of fairly recent movies showing. Going there was a trip in the way-back machine. When I was a kid, we used to return bottles for change, or steal money out of the fountains so we could go there. I hadn't been back since they turned it from a 3-plex into a 5-plex.
Fantastic Mr. Fox was really enjoyable. I barely remember reading the story to my kids ages ago, but I think the movie deviated pretty significantly. Even so, the voice talent was great and the stop-motion animation and art design has its own integrity which grows on you.
Afterwords, I suggested we go browse at Clean Well Lighted Place for Books...oh well...
