Prepare for the $35 Movie Ticket

Posted Mar 27th 2008 3:02PM by Rigel Gregg

It seems like the price of movie tickets is getting ever more expensive, but would you be willing to pay even more if it meant luxury amenities like plush reserved seating with waiter service and upscale food and drink options? I would! At least sometimes anyway. It would totally make going to a movie feel more like going to a "show."

Village Roadshow Gold Class Cinemas is opening a luxury movie theater later this year in Chicago that will offer just those amenities, along with others like seating limited to 40 people and special parking privileges, for ticket prices of just $35 each.

That's pretty steep for a movie, but they're not expecting that to deter the luxury crowd -- plans are already in the works for 20+ more Gold Class Cinemas around the country by 2010.

Watch a Movie from Any Direction (It's a Reversible Screen!)

For the home theater buffs out there, here comes the ultimate in big screen gadgets: a screen and projector that let you view the image from both sides.

Harmony Interiors of Asheville, N.C., originally created this reversible-image home theater system for a "golf dream home" in a prestigious Asheville community. Once they modified the screen and projector appropriately (both which, by the way, retract into the ceiling when not in use) they set it up so the image could either be viewed from inside the house in the cozy enclosed porch, or from the putting green outside with the simple push of a button.

Care to go outside and putt a few in while we watch the movie on the bigscreen? Sure!

Thanks Rachel!

Eddie Griffin Drives a Ferrari Enzo...Into a Wall

Maybe it's because he's rich, or maybe it's because he's an actor and spends so much time "faking" emotions, but I don't think Eddie Griffin looked nearly upset enough in this video when he accidentally ran a Ferrari Enzo into a cement wall during a practice lap for an upcoming charity event promoting his newest movie, Redline. I realize that sad things like this happen all the time in Hollywood and in the movie-making industry, but that doesn't mean I have to like it -- especially when it happens by mistake!

At least no one was seriously injured - that is, if you're not counting the car, which is (was) valued at over $1 million dollars.

James Bond's Guns Up for Auction at Christie's

Movie fans should really enjoy Christie's upcoming movie memorabilia auction, which is scheduled to be held on December 5th. Some of the lots include a program for the Qudditch World Cup from the recent Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire film, valued at £2,000, and Obi-Wan Kenobi's costume from the original Star Wars trilogy, estimated at the same price. Audrey Hepburn's little black dress from Breakfast at Tiffany's is estimated to sell for as much as £70,000. Perhaps the most interesting thing at the auction will be a large collection of guns from the various James Bond movies, including the gun Sean Connery used in Dr. No, which is expected to sell for £25,000 alone.

Devil Wears Prada Costumes on eBay

It seems a bit odd to call designer outfits "costumes," but once they have been used on film that is what they become. There are several pieces from the movie The Devil Wears Prada up for auction on eBay to benefit the nonprofit group "Dress for Success," which helps economically disadvantaged women start on the road to success by preparing them for interviews and other career opportunities. This Donna Karan two-piece crepe suit was worn by Meryl Streep/"Miranda" in the film. No size is indicated and it comes with a certificate of authenticity. The current bid price is over $500, but the auction doesn't close until July 3rd, so there is plenty of time for that number to go higher. And, for a good cause, why not?

An alternative source for movie merchandise is the Devil Wears Prada boutique that Deidre mentioned a few days ago.

Producer To Destroy His Own Carrera GT For Movie

Posted Apr 11th 2006 4:06PM by Deidre Woollard

The announcement of a new movie starring Eddie Griffin isn't usually exciting news but this may be the first one that I have heard about whether the producer offers up his own cars for the action scenes. "Redline" will be an auto thriller that will include the personal car collection of the producer, real estate investor Daniel Sadek. Sadek who is financing the $26 million movie will be using his own cars including a Phantom, Lamborghini Murcielago, Enzo Ferrari, Ferrari F430, Ferrari Scaglietti and two Mercedes McLarens. Sadek's $200,000 Porsche Carrera GT will be crashed during one sequence. Perhaps he should hire Stefan Eriksson as a stunt driver.

Anchor's Away! by Alexis Bittar

The new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Dead Man's Chest, premiers on July 7th. Any idea what you'll be wearing to the theater? Pirate-themed pieces to get you into the spirit of the movie do not come along everyday, so it is best to check them out early. Alexis Bittar's Anchor's Away! necklace would fit perfectly into the wardrobe of any on-set damsel in distress, to be sure. A sizable silver anchor, with a sea-green Chrysophase quartz charm dangling below, is hung on a 16-inch gold chain in a classy, nautical necklace. At only $98, you won't even have to pillage any towns to pick one up.

If you've seen the much-nominated movie Brokeback Mountain, you know the importance of the shirts shown here. The shirts used in the movie are now up on eBay as part of Variety's Children's Charity Auction. The auction started late last night and is set to end on February 20. Bidding is already rising quickly for the shirts.
