CHICAGO THEATER & TV REVIEWS
CHICAGO – After a delay that lasted well in excess of a year, “24” returns to FOX this Sunday, Nov. 23, 2008 from 7 to 9 p.m. with a two-hour “special event” (they used to just be called “TV movies”) called “24: Redemption”.
CHICAGO – “Wow! I feel like I’m at a rock concert!” “Me too. It’s like I want to rush the stage!”
While overhearing this conversation between two young women at the recent Chicago opening of “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story,” I realized there were no better words to sum up Drury Lane’s recent jukebox-blaring, toe-tapping homage to one of the greatest rock and rollers of all time.
CURRENTLY IN DISCUSSION
Interesting.
Interesting. Remember what happened with “Grindhouse” when it ran together as a double feature? Even though it was a brilliant film, it got a chilly reception in part because of its length and the way it was shown together as two films.
It sounds more like they’re considering making this “Harry Potter” two separate films that come out at the same time. That’d force you to buy two tickets to it instead of one and potentially see them at different times. That’d be quite an interruption. Plus, is it fair to charge twice the price?
This whole concept is quite strange. Has this ever been done before?
