Scottsdale Movie Date

New Features and Classic Films

Harkins Camelview Theatre at Fashion Square

FRI NOV 4 | SAT NOV 5 | SUN NOV 6:

Here are my pics this week:

The Return of Tanya Tucker, a documentary about our AZ country music gal, Tanya Tucker, featuring her and Brandi Carlile! To get you in the mood, here’s Tanya’s first hit from age 13, Delta Dawn (c. 1972).

The Banshees of Inishirin, is a drama set beautifully in Ireland, starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. Colin looks overly tanned for Ireland, but ever handsome! And, Brendan of The Guard fame looks like you’d best leave him be.

Decision to Leave, Director Park Chan-wook’s new subtitled ‘neo-noir romantic thriller‘ looks heart-stopping! Filmed in S. Korea, it stars  Tang Wei and Park Hae-il.

Here are other films playing this week and everything you need to know about Harkins! See you at the movies!
