So exactly how do you convert a film to Imax?

"Digital Enhancement" is just a fancy term for drawing stuff in. So do they go in frame by frame, blow it up to Imax size and then draw in all the missing details?

Not by hand most of the time, but essentially yes.

Oh, I thought he was going to reshoot the movie frame-by-frame in 70mm Imax format.

Alas, Raiders won't be playing in the L.A. area at the real IMAX or the two fake IMAX's, but only at the tiny "digital IMAX" neighborhood AMC theaters. Raiders plays often enough in L.A. on much bigger screens. Bah.

Same situation here. I smell a conspiracy.

The teen and I are going to Paranorman tonight. I really liked Coraline and am hoping since it's done by the same studio that it will be great too. I just love tightwad Tuesday at our local little theater, we can get tickets, drinks and popcorns for $20!

We really enjoyed the movie. I love the claymation style, it gives it life or something. Anyway, it was a lot of fun except for the power going out in the theater. I enjoyed the characters and they made them seem real, maybe because I have known people like them. We even waited after the credits to see how they make a claymation figure, it would have been nice if it was a little slower but was interesting little after piece. It was a fun and funny movie.

"The Bourne Legacy" -

Entertaining, maybe a little thin on plot, and I found a few things inappropriately amusing. As in, normal people maybe wouldn't be amused, but I was nearly laughing. Chase scene at the end had edit-cuts too quickly together. I prefer more of a flow to the scene and this was choppy and broken.

But it was fun, and I'm glad we saw it. I'm glad they went with a different agent, not sticking with Jason Bourne, who I think is pretty well played out. Some of the visual scenes are beautiful, especially in the beginning.

I can't remember if I posted about this or not. I recently caught up with a few foreign language Oscar films. The most recent was 2008 Japanese film Departures. It was wonderful, touching, sweet, and funny. The arc of the story was somewhat predictable, but in the end, I did not care, it's a beautiful film. A quiet film and I absolutely loved it.

Trailer can be seen here

Raiders of the Lost Ark is finally out on Blu-ray. However it looks like you can only get it by purchasing the "Complete Adventures" set including all four movies for $64,999.00

Yeah, I get it. Two and Four were so stinking bad few people in their right mind would ever purchase them so you are trying to force feed them on people. Sorry, but I'm not going for it. I'll just keep waiting until I can add 1 and 3 by themselves.

* OK, I might have fudged the price a bit to make my point but still... This is BS.
