Something Very Cool This Way Comes

So, being a photographer makes me keenly interested in all things visual. While not a movie aficionado, I do love great cinematography. It is had to find, but it is so rewarding to watch a movie where as much thought went into the filming as the script. I also enjoy old movies. As many of you know Hitchcock is king.

Well, a very cool one time only event is coming next week. On Wednesday, September 23rd at 7pm, The Wizard of Oz is being shown around the country to commemorate the 70th anniversary. The cool part is that the movie has been completely restored for the Blu-Ray release the following week. The movie has been scanned from the original film, cleaned, and color corrected. It is being said that this version of the movie is better than what most movie-goers saw in 1939.

Locally, the only theater participating is the Galleria Mall Stadium Cinemas in Warner Robins. Click here to buy tickets.
