AMC, one of the nation’s largest theater chains, wants you to catch

AMC, one of the nation’s largest theater chains, wants you to catch up on all five of the Oscar nominated pictures in one ass-tastic marathon sitting contest. On Sat., Feb. 21, two of its local theaters will be screening The Reader, Milk, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire, and Frost/Nixon from 10:30 a.m. to 9:45 p.m. The price? $25-$30 for all five, which is a nice recession-era discount. The catch? Instad of sensibly programming the fest at one of AMC’s in-city theaters, like Pacific Place, you’ll have to drive to Kent or Woodinville to see them.
