Somewhere in America people are walking outside in the morning and seeing their breath evaporate in white puffs, leaves are turning from orange to brown and migrating into driveways, and middle-aged men are tuning their Sunday afternoons to football instead of baseball. All right, the last bit is happening in Los Angeles too... but regardless I'm starting to get a bit nostalgic for actual seasons.
This is one of the best fall movies out there, one of the few good halloween stories... and if you don't care about any of that crap, ITS IN 3D! If any of you obsessive stereophiles or Tim Burton lovers are interested, I'm going to see this at the El Capitan Theater this Sunday at 7... but it's playing at several theaters through at least Christmas.
In the meantime I'll be campaigning for a sensorama version of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

Saw it with my son last night in Glendale.
It is truly a great film, and a great kid's film. Munro loved it.
The 3D was fairly conservative, but effective, with only a few glaring flaws here and there. Not sure it added much, but any excuse to get this film back into theatres is OK by me.
By the way, I don't know why they ever bothered making a movie of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, since this movie already stole the best parts of the story and improved on it by bringing Halloweeen into the mix.
