Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

Now playing in the Seattle area. Just saw it and it was great ! Playing in Tukwila.... They are giving out free decals and movie posters out front.

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

I think Tukwila is as close as it will get to here,, Kelly. I checked the paper for a showing in Tacoma, Puyallup or Olympia,, and theres no showings listed. Thanks for the info,, looks like I'm going north.

Has anyone else seen it?

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

I took my wife and 6 yr old girl to it last night in Avon. They really liked the movie. In the theater there were young and old people and all seemed to enjoy it. While at the snack bar before the movie the girl behind the counter asked/stated we were going to see it. I guess my wife's Watson Racing and my shirt seem to have given it away. We then talked with her about her Grandfather who used to race and about everyone coming to see the movie at the premier.

Went to see it here in Concord Thursday night. Very good movie!

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

Opens Friday here in The Valley of the Sun.

One location ;Harkins Theater @ The Arizona Mills Mall , down towards the former Firebird Raceway...if anyone here is interested

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

I saw it again on Sunday. Still thought it was great !

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

:) Just got home from seeing the movie. One of the perks of being retired, no crowd at the theater. I agree with Kelly, very good movie. I did notice some very small things wrong, but these DID NOT take away from the overall quality of the movie. Showing more than just the racing put a real human perspective on the movie. The family and business problems and dealing with Jamie's (McEwen's son) leukemia is very well done. Can't wait to own it when available. It is worth seeing, even if it's in only one theater. I have heard the DVD will be out for the holidays.

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

I caught the 3:40 showing today after work,, got the senior discount, and walked into the theater and theres only one dude in there. He looks at me and of course, I tell him, "Aw man, that's the seat I wanted!" He laughs and sadly, that's the only people that saw the afternoon showing. A shame that this movie doesn't get any advertising in the "real world",, just in our little racers' circle. The only radio spots I've heard are 10 second bites on our local sports talk station. I know its not a major motion picture, but I hope the evening and weekend shows do better than 2 viewers per showing.
As for the movie, I thought it was alright,, a decent story line, with plenty of old footage mixed in. I feel the 2 main actors did okay,,, theres a little mixing of chronological events, like going from the Arrow to the Monza and back to the Arrow, depending on the footage used. Some of the "cameos" were amusing,, Capps, DeJoria,, Snake & Goose on the golf cart, and so on. I thought the kid playing Jamie McEwen did a great job.
Overall,, I'd say if you get a chance to see it, go for it. Make sure you hang around for the credits as theres some cool pics and video shown to close it out. My 2 cents.

Doesn't look too promising to see it in New England...:mad:

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

Looks like we will have to wait for video around here.

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

NOT many theaters wanted it--NO emmys here-

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

I get your point,,, but you do realize that the Emmys are for television excellence, not for motion pictures.
Its sad that theres such a small distribution scheduled for this movie. If there is a dismal turnout in theaters for this, is it possible they'd pull the plug on DVD and Blu-Ray sales?
Just thinking out loud.

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

there was a large article in my local paper about the movie opening in New Brunswick NJ today, thinking about getting tickets online to go tonight, im not sure how crowded it will be, being 10 minutes from Englishtown.

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

:rolleyes: Don't think out loud too much Danny. There were only 3 people when I went to see the movie. The other 2 guys were from Portland, 150 miles away. I wonder how many people were there when Kelly went (he's been twice)?? Thinking that the weekend would have a bigger crowd, I saw it on a Monday. I really hope a lot of people go see it, it is worth the time. I can understand not wanting to drive long distances for a movie. Maybe get a carload and go see the movie with buddies. Bench race on the way there and then critique the movie on the way home.

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

The first time I went we were three of about 18 people for the 3 pm showing on a Friday... The second time I went was Sunday at 3.40 pm and I was one of 1 about 12 -- The manager said they were going to keep it going about another two weeks and turn out was good.. It may be the last time to go see it on a Big screen is my motivation !!...

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

Playing for one more week around here !! If you have not seen it and want to this may be your last chance ....

Re: Snake & Mongoose Movie
 

I saw Snake and Mongoo$e, don't waste your money! the racing was all NHRA stock footage.
Story and acting were OK but overall it's a sad representation of our sport. Down right boring.
Heart like a wheel was actually a better movie.
I wouldn't even recommend that you rent it!
The good news (or sad ) there were only six people in the theater so only six of us were disappointed. :(
