dewlineI was hoping to see The Rocket, a mythology/docudrama movie about the hockey career of Maurice Richard, within the next couple of weeks. Possibly even this weekend.
Alas, 'tis not to be.
Apparently, all the theatres in Ottawa-Gatineau that were carrying it have pulled the usual "get the CanCon out of the way ASAP so we can get back to showing 'real' movies" routine. It's the biggest frustration anyone who wants to make or see Canadian movies for and in Canadian movie theatres has to face, and it is a continuing problem.
Suffice to say, I am displeased.
I have the sneaking suspicion that The Rocket is actually a Damn Good Movie, but in order to confirm it, I want to see it in a movie theatre. And that's not happening now, is it?
Does anyone reading this blog in Ottawa know if it's going to come back to the theatres for a return engagement? Soon, I hope?
