Tuesday evening at The State Cinema in Stamford: Zero Dark Thirty



The State Cinema was always my favorite for catching first run movies at $4.00 pricing on Tuesdays.

The Kings Speech and the The Queen were two memorable films that I caught at the State.

The other night I went to see Zero Dark Thirty and what a delightful surprise was in store for me.

First off, the seats were super plush and comfortable with plenty of legroom.

Second, the movie, directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal, is a winner.

Yes, the picture has been criticized for starting off with a heavy dose of brutal treatment of captured terrorists.

However, the biggest surprise of all is the riveting performance of Jessica Chastain as Maya- the CIA operative- who has spent her entire career tacking down Osama bin Ladin.

Not to be overlooked is the powerful musical score (click here to listen) composed by Alexandre Desplat.

It's a great movie. Don't miss it.
