On March 13th, two beloved family movies (both in their 30's) will return to movie theaters. Making this even greater news is that both have been restored in 4K and will look better than they ever had before. I have March 13th off of work and am thinking that I might spend that day at the movies doing a double feature.
Kiki's Delivery Service (1989) Hayao Miyazaki is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time and his movies continue to amaze and charm audiences, even those who don't normally watch anime. When one of his most charming movies finds its way back in theaters, it is reason to celebrate. When that movie is being presented in 4K and IMAX, it is a wonderful event. This film is the story of a 13-year-old witch, who for the first time leaves home with her parents and starts off (with her cat Jiji) to create a life for herself in a new town. Beneath its fantasy elements, this is a slice of life coming of age story that is instantly relatable and moving. Don't miss this.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991) The turtles are back and so is their archenemy Shredder, who is assisted by the new villains Tokka and Rahzar. After last year's box-office success of the re-release of the turtles' first big screen adventure, it is only natural that its sequel would also get a rerelease. This is pure early 90's style fun. It may be corny at times but that is part of its charm and is one of the reasons so many of us love this movie. Only in theaters March 13-19, this is a most bodacious watch for us turtle fans.
