Jack Goes Confidential: Hanks Delivers Vatican

It’s only the third week of the summer movie season, yet here we are with a third TENT POLE blockbuster!

THE DA VINCI CODE’S 2006 production partnership of director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer reunite with Tom Hanks who returns as Professor Robert Langdon in ANGELS AND DEMONS.

This time Hanks is summoned by the Vatican to assist its police force, as well as the Pope’s Swiss Guard with a deadly terrorist threat against Vatican City.

All this in the midst of the death of the Pope and the selection process of a new head of the Church known as CONCLAVE.

The Crime?

Four leading Cardinals have been kidnapped and one of them will be executed every hour with it all ending at midnight with the powerful explosion of a container holding a newly produced energy source hidden somewhere within the Vatican compound.

Jack Goes Confidential: Screenland Armour Noses AMC, Earth Sells Out

SCREENLAND Grows on Armour Road-

Independent movie and real estate mogul Butch Rigby has expanded his local exhibition empire by adding a second, smaller auditorium to his main SCREENLAND ARMOUR theatre which was reborn just last year in North Kansas City.

“It’s trimmed out in solid oak paneling like a studio mogul’s private theater,” Rigby says.

The new theater shares the lobby with the main theatre.

And with this past weekend’s opening of his “just under 100 seat auditorium,” Rigby gets a two week jump on his new competitor, AMC’s MAINSTREET THEATRE in nearby downtown K.C. It’s poised to open on May 1 and Rigby admits, could effect his cinematic biz just north of the river on Armour Road…

Rigby plans to use the second auditorium primarily for what in the industry are called “move-overs” from the main auditorium (like in a film’s third week at the complex when a hot new title becomes available for the No. 1 screen.)

Currently the SCREENLAND ARMOUR’s’ main screen is showing STATE OF PLAY with Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, while the second Continue reading

Jack Goes Confidential: Pill Popping Mall Cop Disturbs


Contrary to those funny TV spots you’ve been seeing for actor Seth Rogen’s latest bipolar raunch-fest, “Observe and Report,” it’s NOT just another “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”!


The Hollywood trade paper Variety said it best when it called the movie “…a shocking and sometimes discomfortably funny comedy about an unstable security guard who views himself as a vigilante protector while patrolling a suburban shopping mall.”

The first half –very funny – but the picture takes a stark left turn as we discover a far darker, creepier side of this wanna-be cop’s inner-psyche as he’s about to crack under the pressure of a flasher who’s terrorizing shoppers.

A local screening audience’s laughter morphed into an uncomfortable twitter and finally a quiet exit from the auditorium.

Be forewarned: “Observe and Report” is a hard R-rated, very dark comedy due to language, graphic (male frontal) nudity, drug use, and sexual content. Continue reading
