Seen before a screening of Dracula.

I thought Dracula was fun. Not a classic but not terrible. A divergence from the novel, I am told since I've never read it. Dracula was sympathetic and driven by his love for his lady. Christoph Waltz is a priest in the X-Files division of the Vatican. Some of his dialogue felt stilted at times but I liked his character because he was driven to do what needed to be done.

Like I said, good fun but not a great movie.

Marcus showed about 33% fewer trailers than AMC generally does. 

I was appalled to find out that there is a He-Man movie on the horizon. Is this a lure for nostalgic GenXers?

I think that trailers filled with laudatory quotes portend a lousy movie. I feel ambivalent about this one as I suspect I'd appreciate the creepiness but there were too many jump scares (and quotes).

Red band!

Seen at a screening of Bugonia.

They played the Nuremburg teaser twice(!) before the trailers started in earnest.

Seen at AMC Fitchburg before a screening of One Battle After Another.

First was a teaser trailer for Nuremburg.

I think a commercial played next and then the trailers started in earnest.

I had no idea 28 Years Later had a sequel, much less one coming out less than a year after its release. 

Also seen were commercials for Cadillac and Rolex. I guess they were expecting an audience of aristocrats.
