Columbia City Cinema
| Seattle's Coolest Neighborhood Theater
Starting Friday, January 9: Gran Torino. Continuing through January 15: Marley and Me and Valkyrie. It looks like Slumdog Millionaire will start January 23 and on the 16th probably a week of Australia or Seven Pounds. Which one do you want to see? We're also thinking about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for the 23rd. Milk we hope to get later on when they make more prints because of Sean Penn's sure nomination. So that's what we're thinking. Don't know yet which way the balls will bounce. See you at the movies. |
