Return to the Titanic (again). This time with director James Cameron (The Abyss, Terminator 2, True Lies) at the helm.

This film has been delayed several times, but this is not unusual for a Cameron film.

This film is doing huge box office figures, and here in Festivale's little corner of the world it's doing MONSTROUSLY TITANIC business. We have never had a film review that took top page honours, and it has help the top place for well over a week now. Readers comments are coming in a steady stream, which doesn't often happen, sadly. This film has obviously hit a nerve.

We saw this at Village Crown, a tacky setup with a heap of small theatres at the back of a games parlour (no chairs for waiting customers). They have a Gold Pass $50 a seat theatre, goodness only knows what people think spending $50 and having to get to the private theatre through a barrage of techno-games and greasy pimply teenagers.

The staff are excellent, but the quality of the prints (or focus) is not good, and there are often reasons for complaint with the audio. With Titanic there were times when the dialogue had such a distinct echo that one could hear the lines twice. This could be the print, or it could be the theatre, however, I've had sessions where we had to go out and ask for sound, because we do like our soundtracks on them new-fangled talkies.
