Huntington, WV (HNN) – It’s the weekend before the summer tent pole kickoff, as “Iron Man 2” debuts May 7. According to advance movie ticket sales nationwide, the newest Marvel superhero release has already prompted numerous sell outs.
 
Meanwhile, although the 2010 Appalachian Film Festival is in the can, the WV International Film Fest opens Friday in Charleston.
 
And, the (Discount) Cinema in Downtown Huntington expands their popular “flashback” series to a one-week double feature of “The Warriors” and the Bruce Lee “Enter the Dragon” films. After the one-week double feature, Flashback Monday will resume with a third collection of favorites, ranging from “Jaws” and “Terminator” to “The African Queen.”

LIMITED: Phish 3D (Marquee Southride, Galleria, Highlands)

HEADS UP, ENDS SOON WARNINGS*: Alice in Wonderland, Hot Tub Time Machine, Last Song, Bounty Hunter, Diary of Wimpy Kid, and remember the multiple screen opening of Iron Man II will bring a hold over clean out at many multiple screen cinemas (*Predicted by HNN Editor)
 
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ…. Amanda Seyfried, Gael Garcia Bernal, and Vanessa Redgrave have been cast in “Letters to Juliet,” where Seyfried attempts to re-unite Redgrave with her beloved from the past….. An early review of “Iron Man II” complains that it has too much character development and many witty words and not enough action… Stay tuned….In case you do not watch “Saturday Night Live,” the feature “MacGruber” featuring Will Forte and Val Kilmer came from a brief SNL sketch --- Agent Forte chases Kilmer who has a nuclear warhead…..Trailer for Ridley Scott’s “Robin Hood” attracting breathless buzzes….
