Dallas author Harry Preston has been known to offer his screenwriting courses through Richland College's continuing education department. But this summer the college seems to have run out of classroom space. Yeah, things are tough all over. If you still want to take his course this summer, give the man a shout at 972-276-5427.

I mean, have you seen these trailers? I guarantee that every gamer that lined up at midnight on Monday for GTA IV is lining up tonight for Iron Man. If only I had a babysitter, I'd be dragging the wife to the multiplex tonight, as well. With Iron Man getting strong reviews, and sneak previews being sold out, I think Iron Man could well supplant Spider Man as the most hip comic book movie franchise on the planet.

So, I set out on Tuesday after work with my Iron Man screening pass in hand with what I thought was more than enough time to park the car, get through any line there might be, and find a decent seat at Cinemark Movies 17 on Webb Chapel Road in Dallas. Well, you know what they say about best-laid plans and such ... Anyway, I get dropped off at 6:30 p.m., a whole hour before the screening's scheduled start, and make my way through the gaggle of people in front of the theater, thinking, "I've done this before; I know where to go." Well, before I could pull the pass all the way out of my purse, the doorkeeper (though she was standing at a table) said, "No." Comments (1) Leave comment

Movie Critic Chris Vognar offers up an early look at Iron Man. Technically it opens tomorrow, but you can find it at plenty of theaters starting at 8 tonight. Are you heading out tonight to see it? If so, check back and tell us what you thought. And what do you think about movies that start screening a day before its official "opening"? Special sneak peak for geeks, or marketing ploy to inflate box office totals? Comments (3) Leave comment
