OSCAR NEWS:
Watch the tops, nurse the bottom
AMC’s luxury theater shows the 5 Oscar contenders
By Elizabeth Meyer

How brave are you? AMC Theatres is testing the mettle of movie fans this Saturday, February 24, by showing all five Best Picture Oscar nominees in succession, starting at 11:00am. We do not usually recommend anyone venture out of Worcester County for film entertainment — especially with the recent spike in variety here lately — but we do make two exceptions. First is the spectacular Jordans IMAX in Natick (which opens 300 on March 9), and second is AMC’s Premium Cinema in Framingham, where their Best Picture Showcase substitutes for their regular first-run programming this Saturday. Premium is one cool place, fusing the “cinepub” style of The Elm Draught House or The Strand Theatre with the upscale, first class comfort of National Amusements’ Cinema De Lux. Add to that a full dinner menu, full bar (meaning there are never children allowed) and free unlimited soda and popcorn (with real butter), and you have a movie experience beyond compare and worthy of our full recommendation.

The Best Picture Showcase is $30.00 for all five features, and reservations are recommended, as seating is limited. To reserve tickets or for more information, call (508) 628-4422, or visit AMC’s website at www.MovieWatcher.com.
