by

Column By JIM O’DONNELL
Reel Deal Theater

This Friday, the Reel Deal will open The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. The top critics are rating it at 100 percent. It was shot in New Zealand and the amazing cinematography takes full advantage of the islands beauty. It will be really busy opening weekend so come early. The run time is 2:41 hours, so we will not have a late show. Our latest show is at 7:30 p.m. every day.

The theater is holding Frozen, Hunger Games, and Out of the Furnace.

I saw Out of the Furnace the other night and enjoyed it. If you like “feel good” movies, maybe this is not Read More

This Friday, we are opening a couple of films that are not for the kid’s but we are holding Frozen, and Hunger Games. Delivery Man, and All is Lost will both leave us this Thursday.

We’re opening it between holidays, as it’s not really a holiday film being both brutal, and tragic. The film is getting over-the-top reviews and is sure Read More

“Joyeux Noel” (or “Merry Christmas” in French) tells the true story of a brief cease-fire among French, Scottish and German troops on Christmas Eve 1914, in the thick of The Great War. The Read More
