Caroline and I went to see the movie V for Vendetta on the Cine Capri screen at the Scottsdale 101 theater on the edge of Phoenix, Arizona, this evening. The movie is terrific, although I can’t see Matt Drudge or Rush Limbaugh recommending it to the right-wing zealots that comprise the majority of their whacky audiences. I didn’t listen to nor hear about Mr. Limbaugh throwing dirt on the film, though that would be keeping with his hateful agenda, the DrudgeReport was quick to feature snide and overly negative reviews of V for Vendetta the week prior to its release. While there are some plot holes and the dialogue begs for an attentive ear due to garbled script from behind the mask, the overall message of not allowing ourselves to be bowled over by bullying governments who would use fear and deception to control populations holds certain poignant timeliness of sorts.

The Cine Capri screen is a favorite of film aficionados as it is the largest traditional movie screen in Arizona. At 70-feet wide in a theater space holding 600 viewers, the Cine Capri at the Scottsdale 101 theaters is one of the best places to catch a flick.
