These theaters had a great opening the last Friday 20th and were the best completely upgraded/updated, wide, comfortable seats that recline, clean and have a convenient movie theater which parking lot is really easy to get there (huge structure right next to theater, you always have to go 3-4 floors up, but close elevator in the structure drops you 30 seconds from the theater. They have a great big lobby; the best part is that there are no endless commercials to set through before the trailers begin. As a viewer I suggest to get the fresh caramel popcorn.

California Solo treats a delicate topic

A former Britpop rocker who now works on a farm gets caught driving drunk and faces deportation after living in Los Angeles for many years. His efforts to stay in the U.S. force him to confront the past and current demons in his life. Lachlan (Robert Carlyle) is a great choice for a lead in this movie, the film is full of guilt and responsibility with delicate depressing tone. The main character has many behavior elements full of resignation and self-destructive anger especially when he has to face his melodrama with his immigration status in USA. When a bit of behind-the-wheel boozing threatens to get him deported back to the U.K., Lachlan drinks more and suffers more too. Only a reunion with the daughter he never knew can, possibly, save him. Is this would work for this Agriculture worker and ex- rocker? Two thumbs up for this movie.
