Death Sentence Comes out Today
This afternoon Death Sentence comes out. Now I don’t usually rush to the movies to be the first to see it. However, because it was filmed here in the Columbia area last fall, my son worked the film, and our car was used in the sequence where the car races to the edge of the top of a parking garage and plummets four stories below (not our car but another, thank goodness), it is on my priority list to see today…or at least sometime this weekend.
Fact is, I will probably see it several times…though it is pretty violent and full of fight scenes.
I was in a theatre the other day that thought they were getting it. They had lots of plans and already had a number of groups scheduled. They had a large 8×8 framed “standee†on display to advertise. Something went wrong and they were not going to get the movie after all. I happened to be there right after they found out and asked if they were getting rid of the standee…that I would love to take it off their hands. Several days later they called and asked me to come get it. It now resides in my son’s apartment as a reminder of the fun AND the hard work they had making that film. After all, it was quite an event to have these folks here in town…James Wan, John Goodman, Kevin Bacon, Kelly Preston, etc. It’s not everyday you run into these folks.
So, to the movies I will go…hopefully with friends and family, and at least several times…
My wish for you today, and for this holiday weekend, is that you have a great time with family and friends doing what is important to you. Be safe.

PS: Here’s a picture of the standee…not sure I would want to have a man with a baseball bat behind me when I eat, but, hey…it’s the memories that count. Right?!
