I agree... I've waited for the Sherlock Holmes movies for weeks, and it's not showing here in Prescott Valley. Also, don't bother seeing Nine.... very boring.

The tri city area needs another movie theatre. I hate it that Harkins keeps showing the same movies (New Moon, X-mas Carol, Old Dogs, 2012). I know the demographic is the younger crowd, but sometimes it would be nice to see movies for older adults. There is several movies scheduled for Christmas release (It's Complicated, Up in the Air, Nine, and Sherlock Holmes). I would be pleasantly surprised if 2 out of the 4 will be showing on the 25th. And, what about the movie "Precious"? Who decides what movies come and for how long each movie stays? Harkins, Please rethink your stratgy and think about others beside the kids and young adults. We have money too.
