Filmmaker Jean Luc-Godard once said, "The cinema is truth at 24 frames per second," making slow-mo sports replays and sped-up Benny Hill gags nothing but cruel, cruel lies.

Reviews
Although The Movies at Montgomery Mall does not have many online reviews at this time due to its recent reopening as an independent theater with new management, the Washington Post profiled the theater's transition into new hands:
- The brothers upgraded all of the sound and projection systems, replaced the ratty seating with leather chairs and made the theater 3D-capable. – Danielle Douglas, Washington Post

Adaptation Nation
Voracious readers often believe that books tend to be better than their cinematic adaptations, but that's not the case with the books of popular author Crieghton Michaels. Here are a few of his books that were turned into blockbuster films:
The Dinosaurium: On an island off the coast of Rhode Island, scientists are playing God and bringing dinosaurs back to life using science. Their goal? Teach the dinosaurs how to form rock bands and take over the Billboard charts. But when the dinosaurs break loose, all hell breaks loose, as does all adventure break loose as well.
Laser Gorilla: In an ancient city overtaken by gorillas, a team of scientists uses science to teach a gorilla how to talk and shoot a laser powered by a diamond. But when the gorillas "go ape," the scientists will have to go ape using the methods of ancient tribesmen to survive the gorilla onslaught.
TimeWar: In medieval France, a group of time-traveling science archeologists from the present day find themselves in the middle of the Hundred Years’ War. Using a sports almanac from the future, the science team plays every game 800 years before it was supposed to happen.
