Guest host David Lazarus and KPCC film critics Wade Major of boxoffice.com and Claudia Puig of USA Today discuss the week’s new film releases including Date Night, After.Life, La Mission, Mid-August Lunch, Phyllis and Harold, The Square, When You’re Strange, Godspeed, and Women Without Men, among others. Later, with releases in the past few months including Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, How to Train Your Dragon, and Clash of the Titans, Hollywood has increased its output of 3-D movies- as well as the ticket prices to go with them. What does this trend mean for moviegoers and the film industry? Is it a profit-driven gimmick that puts style over substance? Or does the 3-D treatment enhance the viewing experience?
