Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Gina's Total Drama Movie Review:

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Can I say ... Award Winner! Everyone can relate to this film. We all have our own, very personal, 9/11 memoirs. We can remember where we were, what we were doing and the state of haze our country was in. For some, its far more personal!

This film takes you on one such journey. You will share the

heart-break of one family, embrace the innocence of a child who lost his father and applaud their courage to rebuild their lives.

I loved this movie. My suggestion is to embrace the story. Keep the family and their fight to rebuild in the forefront. 9/11 is a part of the film. It was not intended to be a 9/11 movie. I think this is why some critics have not given this movie rave reviews. They missed the beauty of this film.  Definitely a must see!

On a roller-coaster of emotion, with personal recollections, and feeling of human compassion, you will remember the past, embrace the future... and together...

We Will Never Forget!

It's Movie time!

San Antonio is home to one of my favorite movie theaters! Santikos Palladium IMAX. Talk about a great time for the whole family... The Palladium is complete with an arcade, which houses the top rated games like RockBand and includes old school fun like Pac-Man. (Oh! And did  I mention Air Hockey?)

Bring your appetite! The Palladium has a restaurant on the first floor. How about that? This puts a new twist on dinner and a movie! For those of us over 21, head upstairs to the Agora Bar. My drink of choice... Sangria! I'll take a pitcher please! Bottles of wine, buckets of beer and all your favorites mixed and ready for you to take into your theater to enjoy while watching a great movie. 

Lets talk concessions.... No movie night can go without a bucket of hot, buttered popcorn! MMmm... maybe some chocolate covered raisins? The Palladium concessions have it all including some gourmet selections like fresh made Gelato. They also have the newest, most amazing, state of the art, self-serve drink center with over 100 flavors! I know you will find your favorite! Did someone say... Starbucks!? The Baristas are waiting for you! 

The Palladium is one of a kind. They even have reserved seating in some theaters. I love picking my favorite spot! Vip!!! What??? Oh yes! On the second floor you will find the VIP suites. Large, leather seats with a table tray between! Talk about comfort! You wont find the little ones in here!

Lights! Camera! Action!!! Get ready for D-Box!!!  Can I just tell you how much I love this!? I am not usually one for action movies, now... Bring it! As long as I can sit in D-Box I'm in! Motion seats bring the movie to life. Kick back, relax, turn your personal motion sensor to HIGH and enjoy the ride!!! (and the movie) It will cost you a pinch more but it is completely worth every penny.

Did you enjoy the movie? Maybe you want a gift to remember it by? Step into the Gift Zone. You will find

t-shirts, stuffed characters and movie posters. You never know what else you may find in there. 

I am sure you can see why The Palladium IMAX  ranks #1 in my book.
