MOVIE OPENINGS THIS WEEK: RottenTomatoes.Com

Posted: 4 Dec 14

WINDOWS ON REAL AND MAKE-BELIEVE WORLDS


Scope:  National

Here's a handy link to the popular movie review site, Rotten Tomatoes -- showing, among other things, movies opening this week.  (Just thought this might simplify busy-life, a tad)

I find I rarely agree with the critics (well, sometimes I do) nor always with the audience (I may not always be in the movie's target market, I suppose).  That said, I find this site to be a good general adviser, to simplify the all-important decision-making.


Happy Friday!

P.S.  For events local to East Contra Costa County, don't forget to check the EastCountyLive "Spotlight Calendar" (click here)



AN IMPORTANT WEEKEND PLANNING NOTE

Don't forget, Sunday is 7 December -- PEARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE DAY -- an "infamous" day which changed everything.

The door to world war was kicked wide open for our reluctant nation  -- but it was a righteous war at which our preferred form of civilization was very much at stake.

City Council Honors MAYA CINEMAS -- 1/22/13

Posted:  Tuesday, 22 Jan 13

1.  At tonight's City Council meeting, in the regular 7:00 pm session, City Hall, "Maya Cinemas -- Pittsburg" will be honored by official proclamation.  The beautiful presentation document, signed by Mayor Nancy Parent and City Clerk Alice Evenson, may be viewed by following this link which presents a list of published meetings (Click to "view" the Jan 22 agenda packet, and open the proclamation near the top of the list of supporting materials)


2.  As so aptly expressed in that proclamation, "Maya Cinemas— Pittsburg demonstrated its faith in the future of the city by renovating and reviving a dying movie theater, thus helping to ensure the success of the Century Plaza Shopping Center with increased foot traffic for surrounding retail establishments, and which will pay dividends to the community for many years to come..."


3.  Here are other articles on this blog, pertaining to Maya:

4.  This very welcome enhancement of our territory is, I believe, receiving the warm reception it truly deserves, as evidenced by filled parking lots, enthusiastic public comment, and a new and conspicuous feel of vitality surrounding that portion of the City, since "friend-Maya" opened 5 months ago.


CONGRATULATIONS, MAYA!

If you can... come to the City Council meeting, tonight, to show your appreciation.  
If you can't make it, I'll clap extra loud and hard for you
and see you at the movies.

MAYA CINEMAS KEEPS STRIVING FOR US!

Posted: 12 Nov 12


Purpose

This article announces another exciting new development from our friends at Maya Cinema 16 -- Pittsburg.  They remain tireless in trying to maximize the value of our entertainment dollars and experiences there.

They're at it again!!

What we've been waiting for is almost here.  Last Saturday, House Manager, Amanda Daoud, told me:
  • That the moment is nearly here when we're all going to experience NEW SOUND SENSATIONS only available to 20 other Movie theaters IN THE WORLD -- and only 5 movie theaters IN CALIFORNIA!!  
  • All because of Maya corporate-foresight and a great new breakthrough innovation from Dolby, called ATMOS (click here to experience a taste of ATMOS on the Dolby website).
  • At the bottom of this article, you will find The Maya Cinema complex's ATMOS announcement flyer inserted.
We've already seen the ultimate example of Maya's foresight when they recently took the risk of setting up their beautiful new movie complex here in our midst -- to our eternal delight. (See the blog article, dated August 4)

The Curtain Goes Up!

On Wednesday, 11/14. they will be revealing their new "toys" to the media.  Then, we'll get to experience them:
  • November 21 -- "Life of Pi"
  • December 14 -- "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"
By the way, on Sunday, 11/11, my wife and I enjoyed the latest James Bond movie (non-ATMOS) and the sound was already superlative.  I can hardly imagine improvements, but such are the exciting times in which we live.  As we left the auditorium, there was a huge, smiling and eager cleaning staff there to bid us adieu and to get the place spotless for the next group of guests.  


A HUGE BONUS

It's wonderful to see all the employment opportunities they are creating for our fine young folks, too.  For many, it's quite probably their first job -- they are practicing, beautifully, how to relate with the public (and each other and their bosses, as a team) and obviously doing it well -- gaining life-long, invaluable skills -- creating a work history -- earning good references -- making new friends -- smiling a lot -- and being paid, to boot!

Further, it seems that Maya has a particularly huge staff -- which is yielding fabulous customer service and security -- as well as creating lots of jobs.


As to Other November events: 

Since my NEAT scanner is giving me fits again, I decided to go ahead and type parts of the November flyer here.  I quote:
  • Visit us on Tuesday for Family Days where *all movies are $5.50 (*excluding Sony Pictures and 3D films)
  • Wednesday is Senior Day!  Tickets are $4.00 for all movies for Seniors (60+) -- *3D is $3.00 more
  • Don't forget to check out our November Classic Series, Thursday Nights @ 7 pm.

[NORMAL WAYS TO COMMUNICATE WITH MAYA]

Editor's Note
  • And, when you go and find that you had a grand time, don't forget to write a review on Yelp! (click here).  And, if there is anything that displeases you, tell them.  I have no doubt that your concerns will become theirs.  (Can't fix it, if they don't know about it).  Personally, I want them to succeed and show great profit returns (their just rewards!) and never encounter a single difficulty here.  They are now part of the family and I want them to stay here for a long, long time to come.

Movies Opening in November
  1. Breaking Dawn, Part 2 -- PG-13
  2. Wreck it Ralph -- PG (2D & 3D)
  3. Flight -- R
  4. 007 Skyfall -- PG-13
  5. Lincoln -- PG-13 [Hooray -- my hero!!!!!]
  6. Life of Pi -- PG [***ATMOS***]
  7. Rise of the Guardians -- PG

MAYA CINEMAS -- SPECIAL SOUND SYSTEMS

090712 -- This message was received, this date, from Maya Cinemas - Pittsburg 16, concerning the extraordinary sound system which they are introducing to us, in two of their auditoriums.  I hope you will find this as interesting, helpful, and inviting as I do.  Heard it, the other day.  IT WAS VERY PLEASING AND NOT THE LEAST BIT HARSH -- JUST "NATURAL" (BUT MORE SO) -- Editor

Two other blog articles are included in this City-Journal, with information pertaining to Pittsburg's great new entertainment resource:




September 9, 2012

Hi David,

The sound in auditoriums #1 and #2 have 28 surround speakers along the walls and ceiling. There is no [descriptive] literature due to the fact that it was designed by our President and COO [Chief Operating Officer].  He has an extraordinary imagination that he brings to the table in designing each and every theater.

The sound is powered by 20 amplifiers, when the usual set-up is around 5-8 amplifiers. The screens are also different since they are floating curved screens which allows a larger format and more picture from wall to wall.

In auditorium #1 we have a silver screen for a perfect 3D experience, it reflects more light than a typical white screen.  On that note, we also have a dual projector system in which there are two projectors working as one simultaneous unit.

We are the fifth such installation in the entire nation, (there are six set-up this way, nation-wide). It gives extreme clarity and more of a 3D effect then a typical HD version of 3D. Let's just say its ALMOST an unofficial IMAX.  It doesn't have the eye-popping 3D as IMAX does, but it certainly gives you what you pay for.

They (#1 and #2) are also the biggest auditoriums we have at the moment, until the second phase [WOW!]. They seat almost 300.

"Finding Nemo in 3D" is our Grand Opening 3D movie presentation.

Feel free to ask any more questions if I didn't cover enough, or if you would like more information regarding these auditoriums.

Thanks,
Joe Madrid
Projection Manager

NEW MAYA PITTSBURG CINEMAS-16 Opened 8/3/12

8/4/12/SAT

PITTSBURG'S BRAND NEW "MAYA CINEMAS -- Pittsburg 16"
OPENED THE WEEKEND OF AUGUST 3rd, AND WHAT A TREAT IT IS!

Click Here: For September Special 2012 Events and Monthly Brochure
Click Here: For Information about Maya's Special Sound System

If you haven't attended our "brand new" movie center, which opened on Friday, August 3rd, you're in for a delightful experience.  Here's their automated phone number for movie schedule: (925) 753-1788 (you might want to put this on your speed-dialers/cell phones).

Free popcorn and $2.00 Hot Dogs (for the opening weekend)

Side note:  I couldn't help but wonder how all of this came to pass.  There was surely much behind- the-scenes work to persuade the Maya Corporation to make a home at Pittsburg.  It might not have happened, had some committed souls not made a convincing case.  I don't yet know who these heroes are, but I am searching -- and when I find out, I'm going to make sure we all know, so we can give them our thanks, if so-moved.  I know our superb government is involved, for sure.  A good local government has such a direct bearing on a good quality of day-to-day life. 
8/6/12 UPDATE:  Wrote an inquiry to the City Manager concerning responsibility for bringing this all about.  His kind answer is at the bottom of this posting. THANK YOU, SIERRA PACIFIC PROPERTIES (and City Manager Sbranti)!!!

A personal eyewitness account

My wife and I just returned from a delightful experience, this evening.  On return home, I immediately sat down to write this.  When I discovered how thoroughly the above-referenced feature stories covered the subject, I decided to be briefer than I had planned:
  • On arrival, there was no problem with parking -- but parking's always been good, in our experience.
  • As we approached the beautifully refurbished and festive outside, we noticed that the ticket counter was right square in the middle of the approach -- straight in from the parking lot -- no support columns to navigate around -- easy access.
  • The ticket counter had easy-to-read electronic monitors, at eye level, to make it easy to see shows and times listings.
  • Prices:  Didn't examine them, but the senior discounted price was $6.50
  • On entry, one crosses a wide open lobby and a very attractive presentation to the eye, with a large snack counter and the usual array of goodies for sale.
  • The beautiful new floor had huge decorative medallions inlaid to great effect.
  • There was a surprisingly large staff, ready to assist and guide -- extremely courteous, cheerful and helpful.  They really rolled out the welcome mat.
  • We went to see the new Batman movie.  The auditorium was very, very comfortable with stadium seating, and swivel-arm cup-holders.  The sound was great and the screen and images are quite up to modern standards.
  • On departure, we were surprised and sobered by the very visible presence of numerous armed guards -- a sad sign of the times, but an indication of the alertness of the management, who seemed to have thought of everything.
  • We had a chance to talk with one of the House Managers, Amanda Daoud, and exchanged information  with her -- so we can try to keep you informed of developments there, over the coming months.
  • She gave us a little peek at a very special and large auditorium which is being readied for us.  She informed us that this "surprise" is like no other.  They have done some very innovative things with the sound system -- plus it has a huge screen, of course (appears to be IMAX and 3D, but please don't quote me yet -- I had a lot to take in).
  • She informed us that this is a weekend for testing their readiness, working out any "bugs," team-building, continuing to make for a grand time from start to finish.  (my words, based on hers)

THE UPSHOT IS

We were delighted.  It was worth the months-long wait.  Our great town and area deserve such a jewel.  It looks like we are in good hands and can look forward to many great times to come.  Welcome MAYA Cinema Pittsburg -- 16!

David Nelson,
Editor

8/6/12 ltr from City Manager

Hi David,

I am very pleased to hear you enjoyed your recent experience at the new MAYA Cinema here in Pittsburg.

I would love to take the credit, but it is not mine to claim. The refurbishing of the old Brenden Theater was orchestrated by Sierra Pacific Properties who owns and manages many of the commercial and retail buildings here in town.  They reached out to MAYA and made it happen with little if any assistance from the City of Pittsburg. Sierra Pacific is the commercial branch of the Albert Seeno family of companies. They have repeatedly invested and reinvested in Pittsburg and the MAYA Cinema is just another example.  I know they would appreciate your positive feedback and if you see fit to tell your readers about your favorable experience.

As usual, thanks again for your input.


Joe Sbranti
City Manager

Wagner's Dream takes you deep into the artistic and musical challenges of the epic work. Visionary director Robert Lepage begins a five-year journey to create the most ambitious staging in Metropolitan Opera history, featuring a 90,000-pound set ("The Machine") designed to realize all of Wagner's scenic instructions. The film follows heroic singers from rehearsals to performance as they take on many of the most daunting roles in opera.
