You won’t find the movie times in today’s GO Section, but there are four films opening in Rockford this weekend, ranging from wacky comedy to critically acclaimed indy film to teen tearfest to cinematic crime against humanity involving talking canines and felines.
Here, for your perusal, are the trailers:
And, in the interest of giving credit where credit it due, hats off to AMC for bringing a movie like “The Kids Are All Right” to Rockford. It’s part of the company’s AMC Independent program and will hopefully result in some interesting movies finally coming to our fair city.
wow, you’re really kind of obsessing about this newspaper showtimes thing, aren’t you?
It doesn’t affect me too much, but we have had phone calls this morning — mostly from older readers who don’t use the Internet. I can sympathize with them, because trying to listen to those movie listings over the phone can be a pain. I don’t even mind the loss of ad dollars — if we could just run the times, that would be most of the problem solved. It just seems like the sort of information that should be in a weekend entertainment section.
I do agree, though, that this program to bring more independent movies to Rockford holds promise, Brian — and this could be the perfect time of year to get it started.
