The Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, VA (http://www.gradingtheatre.com) will be showing the early 80s sci fi masterpiece "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," a film that I clearly feel is far and away the best of the series. And, I also think it is better than a good 80% of the original Star Trek series' episodes. The 1982 film is based on the 1967 Star Trek episode "Space Seed," and it features a then unkonw (and, alas a now has been) Kristie Alley. The film was directed by Nicolas Myer. It will be screened at midnight on Sat., Dec. 17
Updated Dec. 18: Alas, it was a low turnout last night. I expect the weather and the bulk of area colleges closing for the semester were the culprits. But, it was a very impressive print. The Grandin Theatre is hoping to show several more midnight movies next year. I will keep everyone posted.
