friday night flix

DAFT PUNK ROCKS TRON

Tron Legacy
Fri 11 Feb to Tues 15 Feb, Patricia Theatre Powell River, 7:00pm
(mat Sun 13 Feb, 1:30pm)

There are loads of top flicks screening at Sunshine Coast Cinemas this week but since I've already covered True Grit and the King's Speech in an earlier post, my pick for this week's Friday night flick has got to be Tron Legacy, it’s just too big to ignore. The Coast does its utmost to promote the art-house and the undervalued, but when you’ve got visuals like this on display, it’s like you’ve been invited to the greatest party in the world, your eyeballs are the guests of honour and Jeff Bridges wants to give you a high-five. But it’s not just a delight for your eyes, your ears are in for a treat too, as none other than Daft Punk have created the movie soundtrack. They pepper orchestral sweeps with their unmistakable electronica, and feature scrambled 8-bit beats that would have Crystal Castles reaching for their chiptune emulators in envy. It’s certainly a step up from the original film which I don't think even made it to video/DVD. For more details see Patriciatheatre.com
