Review of Across the Universe

• Somewhere around its midpoint, Across the
  Universe captured my heart, and I realized that
  falling in love with a movie is like falling in
  love with another person. Imperfections, however
  glaring, become endearing quirks once youve
  tumbled.-Stephen Holden, NY Times

Across the Universe

• A Taymor triumph. A mélange of creativity using
  the Beatles music to express a generation in
  full. The fresh interpretation of the music is
  perfection.-Victoria Alexander, Filmsinreview.com

Reviews of Mr. Bean, a movie shown at Rave but
not AMC

• 2 out of 4 stars-James Bernardenelli, ReelReviews
• Rowan Atkinson again demonstrates that the Bean
  character is best suited for television, where
  his misadventures can charm viewers in small
  doses.-John Defore, Austin American Statesman

My Two Cents

• I raise the question, if the Allentown area is
  considered to be an up-and-coming place to live
  in, why is there such a slack selection of
  quality films that are not associated with
  mainstream popularity?
• From the selection available, a person would
  think that the Allentown area was comprised of
  young children to young adults. I suggest that
  if Allentown is to modernize their reputation,
  vying for independent or quality films would be a
  good start.
• Take a look at the AMC Empire listings and you
  will see that there are 12 films that have not
  been offered in the Rave Motion Picture Theater.
  Rave, for those who dont know, is supposed to be
  of outstanding repute in technology and
  selection.
• Personally, I am irritated with Rave. Sure, it
  is the most comfortable and clean but what is
  that good for when there is nothing to go see?
• I attempted to contact the manager, but was
  unsucessful.
