Avatar (2009)
Porto Pi Centro, Sala 5, Porto Pi, Palma
It might be impressive on a technical level but Avatar is an old story that’s been
done many times before. The most expensive production ever trying to push a green
message, hmmm? Unless you see it in 3D the general consensus is don’t bother, Dances
with Wolves in space!
Sala 11- 16:30

Newly formed American band that are getting rave reviews having a sound and style that effortlessly move through Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, James Taylor and Paul Simon.

Invictus, (2009) - Renoir,
S’Escorxador complex, c/t Valldemossa, Palma
Delivered
with typically stately precision from director Clint Eastwood, Invictus may not be
rousing enough for some viewers, but Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman inhabit their
real-life characters with admirable conviction.

The Hurt Locker, (2009) - Renoir,
S’Escorxador complex, c/t Valldemossa, Palma
A
riveting, suspenseful portrait of the courage under fire of the military’s most unrecognized
heroes: the technicians of the bomb squad, who volunteer to challenge the odds and
save lives in one of the world’s most dangerous places.
Sala 4 - 15:50, 20:05, 22:25
Dinosaur Jr.
If you like your rock and roll with more twang and less roll then Mascis’ band could be the one for you. Having started out in 1985 and reformed in 2005 although with only one original member. I’m not sure if that actually qualifies. A band that will definitely appeal to the black t-shirt brigade.
Fri Feb 12 - 25€ - Sala Assaig, Palma
Sterlin.
Popular local band that will be performing songs from their forthcoming album plus some of their classic tracks
