At The Crandell: 21 Jump Street

It looks like The Hunger Games has left The Crandell. This was one of the few times that our local theater has shown a movie on its opening night and continued to run it for multiple weeks. The folks at The Crandell did that without raising ticket prices so I hope this was profitable and a positive experience for everyone.  You can read my recap of The Hunger Games’ midnight showing premier at The Crandell by clicking here.

Tonight, a new movie arrives in Chatham, it’s 21 Jump Street, starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.

Here is the trailer:

The Hunger Games Midnight Show at The Crandell

If you have been reading Columbia County Current (or following us on Twitter) then you know that The Hunger Games arrived at The Crandell last night for a special, midnight showing. As a fan of the books (and The Crandell), I thought it would be fun to head out for this late-night showing so me and some friends did just that.

I was excited to see that we weren’t alone and the biggest crowd that I have ever seen at The Crandell was out last night to see this movie and support our local movie theater.

Hunger-games

The movie was great and you could tell that the audience was filled with fans of the books by the way that people reacted to simple details, dialogue and the characters. Fans of the books will undoubtedly find a few flaws ( I did) but overall, should be really happy with how the book was brought to the screen.

The Hunger Games is playing at The Crandell (and everywhere else) all week.
