I pose the above question because frankly not much is going on in the box office. We are entering a lull stage at the multiplex that starts at the end of the summer (the kids are readying for a return to school – if they are not there yet) and the serious season will begin in a few weeks. So what is a cinema-goer to do?
That said, looking at the list of weekend releases, there appears to be only one film of (slight) interest out in wide release …
Will you be seeing this? If not, what is in store for you?

August 24, 2012 at 4:58 amNo new films for me – it’s a busy weekend! But I am off on Sunday night to Somerset House in London to watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom under the stars. That should be fun.
Looking forward to Premium Rush myself. A couple of weeks until it’s out here.

August 24, 2012 at 12:56 pmDefinitely NOT Premium Rush, I think home cinema is for me as we’re having guests over for dinner. Might try to catch Robot and Frank if it comes to the indie theater near me.

August 24, 2012 at 3:31 pmNORTH BY NORTHWEST is at a proper cinema here so tonight or tomorrow we’ll be trying to work that in to a packed weekend. PREMIUM RUSH looks pretty good, but we still haven’t seen EXPENDABLES. We may also get a chance to see something from the DVR…we have to, it’s almost at capacity 😉

August 27, 2012 at 9:27 pmNbNW sounds awesome! How was it? I saw it years ago at a film festival where we had a Q&A with Eva Marie Saint and Ernest Lehmann 🙂

August 27, 2012 at 9:33 pmIt was really great, of course the cropduster scene was fabulous. We did have a Q & A with Eva Marie Saint & Ernest Lehmann however, how was THAT?

August 28, 2012 at 1:03 amIt was awesome and kind of surreal. To hear someone talk about the likes of Alfred Hitchcock and Cary Grant as contemporaries was a rarified treat.
