Houston In Film
I am a lover of movies; old and new, romance and adventure, documentary and historical. I believe that there is a real difference in quality when a production takes the time (and spends the money) to film on location. Location shoots lend an aspect of realism to a movie, and boost local economies at the same time – I appreciate that. Today’s CGI and 3-D blockbusters are great, but I really enjoy when a film puts characters into a physical reality of a location shoot – even...

Van Gogh: Brush with Genius at Pacific Science Center IMAX
As part of my time spent in Seattle over New Year’s, I took the monorail to the Seattle Center and caught a few exhibits and an IMAX film at the Pacific Science Center.

You don’t have to spend all day, just come see what you want and leave. And, depending on your membership level, a number of IMAX admissions are included.
