Long Take from Atonement

Regardless of whether or not you liked the movie itself, there was one scene maybe halfway in that I thought was quite impressive. The scene I'm referring to is one, long take lasting over five-plus minutes during which a Steadicam follows three British soldiers around a beach in France. The entire scene is one take, uncut, unedited. All in all, it was done quite well...

Check out this link with video of at least the first couple minutes of the shot...

The $6 Movie.

Other than cheap flowers at the corner bodega and free wings on your birthday at the Dive Bar, there aren't many bargains to be found in New York. For years we endured ever-rising movie prices, with no matinee pricing to be found (much to the disbelief of many midwestern visitors). So, imagine the delight when we realized that a major NY movie chain (AMC) began offering, with very little publicity or fanfare, the $6 movie. Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. Any time before noon. Six dollars.

The Saturday Morning Movie Group was born.
