AMC Hosts Harry Potter Movie Marathon - Mid July

Deathly Hollows Poster, hell yeah.

July 11th through the 14th.  Two movies a night.  $45.

Possibly the best way to prepare / commemorate the release of the 8th (if it's not the last... there may be something wrong with Hollywood...) and last movie. 

You can get tickets to it by going checking out their event website.

I recommend going in costume.  Bring that animatronic sorting hat you made in art class (don't laugh, a friend of mine did this... AND IT WAS AWESOME).  Really, if anyone goes to this in costume, post links to pictures from it, we would love to see it.

AMC is doing this at Loews Georgetown 14 (DC), Columbia 14 (Columbia, MD), and Potomac Mills 18 (Woodbridge, VA) at  6PM Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, then 9 and Midnight for the two parts of Deathly Hollows on Friday. Bless their hearts (and desire for massive profits).

Revisit the entire Harry Potter epic and be among the first to witness the final film, shown in RealD® 3D.

See two of the films each night, Monday, July 11 through Wednesday July 13 at 6 p.m. Then, on Thursday, July 14, see Part 1 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at 9 p.m. right before catching the premiere of Part 2 at 12:01.

$45 ticket includes admission to all eight films, a commemorative lanyard, and retrospective booklet.

Review: 13 Assassins @ E Street Cinema

Awesome Movie Poster, by Magnet Releasing

This movie in general was rather intense.  I'm normally a big fan of Kurosawa like films (including the ones that Kurosawa himself did), so that this was fun for me wasn't a huge surprise.  The main characters in 7 Samurai 13 assassins were for the most part well developed, especially the main few. The movie is subtitled, which isn't a huge surprise for those that watch a lot of old school feeling Japanese action / war movies.  It's hard not to be a fan of this level of drama and raw action.  But then again I grew up on movies like Ran and The Hidden Fortress (yes, a joke / reference, I do know the difference).  Take a look at the trailer:

More after the jump.
