This week we head off to the movies again, with a side detour into the land of the dead. On the show is a book review of A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, a novel of grave consequences and we go to the movies, but this time it is a behind the scenes look. This time around I sit down with the Bill and Sheila from the Century Movie Theatre in Lindsay, who keep the place going. We discuss the challenges of running a small theatre and where movies are going in this digital age we live in. In keeping with the summer movie theme I included my long awaited Top 10 Gross moments in movies list. As always your comments and suggestions are welcome.

I know, I\'m a little late. I found it hard to come up with 10 gross moments. So I\'ll justr give you my Top 5 instead: 1. The Cell - a man\'s intestines are rolled up like the strings with a bucket over a well 2. Interview with a vampire - Brad Pitt cuts a vampire in two with a scythe 3. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 - a man in a cage is attacked by crows 4. Minority Report - Tom Cruise tries to catch his eyeballs as they are rolling over the floor 5. Demolition Man - did the whole eyeball-thing before Minority Report came out, here Someone sticks them on a pencil I shiver just thinking about all these movies. Even though I quite liked most of them. Cheers, Anka

I enjoyed you book review, I think I might pick it up an give it a read. The cinema people interview was interesting, but it seems odd and yet sad after all these years it\'s really all about \"bums in seats\". As far as the uncomfortable list goes I would have to add the scene in Texas Chainsaw (the original one) when they try and make grampa hit the girl with the hammer, oh heck the whole damn movie makes me nervous.
