Movie Trailers on Apple

Are you one of those people who goes to the movie theatre early to catch the previews? Well, there’s an easier way to do it. You can watch many of the upcoming trailers on demand. If you have an Apple computer with OS X Leopard, you can watch trailers using Front Row (MacBook users: this is a perfect time to use the remote).

If you don’t have a Mac, you can watch them on Apple’s iTunes Movie Trailers website. Once you start, it’s almost impossible to stop. Before you know it, you’ll have just watched 80 trailers and the crazy thing is you want to see more!

Happy viewing!

Movie Theatres

We love going to the movies! There’s something special about the experience. While the huge multiplex cinemas are popular, the local ones have a lot to offer.

In Seattle, one of our favorite theatres is the
Big Picture. It’s a 21 and over cinema that has a lounge with a full bar. Not only can you have a drink before the movie starts, but you can also order ahead of time. The staff will serve your cocktail during the movie so you don’t miss a scene.

Central Cinema is a dinner theatre that shows independent and classic films. It has a great selection of wine and beer. It’s known for its pizzas, but also has a variety of salads and appetizers. Waiters take your order and bring your food and drinks to you.

Thanks to Paul Allen, Seattleites can still enjoy one of the few remaining Cinerama theatres in the world. It was refurbished in its original 60s décor, but has state-of-the-art sound and projection technologies. And its 90 foot long and 30 foot high screen makes for spectacular viewing.

Tell us about your favorite theatre!
