At the Movies

 For the first time in a long while, I have a movie theater within walking distance of my home. "The Village" cinema has opened in South Orange--mostly because Hollywood's Patrick Wilson wanted a functioning South Orange theater. Patrick Wilson lives (at least sometimes) in Montclair. He filmed a little promo for "The Village," and in the promo, he maintains that it's a trial to watch a movie at home: "The screen is so small, and you don't have any variety with your snacks." This puzzled me. Who has a small screen now? And does anyone actually go to a freestanding movie theater for the snacks? ("I'm really craving a fifteen-dollar sleeve of M and Ms.....") In any case, I saw "Don't Breathe 2," which is a bit like a fairy tale. A little girl finds herself in the custody of a deranged vet; the little girl's parents are (allegedly) dead. But then a sinister figure appears. He wants to abduct the girl. Why? Of course...
