I wanted to see it at the theater but I don’t “do” theaters anymore. Too many distractions. I purchased it when it came out on DVD. What a great movie. It didn’t take long to sell out at our Walmart. Like you said, it grabs you from the beginning and it never lets go. I appreciate movies like that.
The Passion of the Christ and Ghost Rider.
I can not *stand* our local theaters.
They're long and narrow like bowling alleys and the screens, for some insane reason, are curved.
Whoever was running the projector just couldn't seem to manage “FOCUS!!!” and watching both movies later on a hi-def LCD TV was ~much~ better.
