If you live in Los Angeles CA and are a fan of both "The Mechanic" and Charles Bronson....you're in for a real rare treat.

"The Mechanic" will be on the big screen for 2 days in January 2011. Here is the info...

Where:

The New Beverly Cinema
7165 W. Beverly Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90036

www.newbeverlycinema.com

When:

Sunday Jan. 9th "The Mechanic" showing at 3:35 PM & 7:30 PM

Also showing is "Hard Times" on Sun at 5:35 PM & 9:30 PM and on Mon at 9:30 PM.

This is a great timely opportunity to see "The Mechanic" with Charles Bronson before the re-make hits the screens in January 2011.

Cool. Thank you. I've never seen it on the big screen so this will be a first!

"The Mechanic" on the big screen is awesome and the look of it on film as compared to the digitized version on the DVD is fantastic.

I saw it at the New Beverly Cinema when they showed it there in 2009. The look of it is darker and somehow I seem to remember the sound being better as well.

See ya there...I'll be at the Sun 3;35 showing.

Hope folks made it out to the screening. They also gave out passes for everyone to go see the remake.

<nitpick>And The New Beverly is really located in Los Angeles proper, not Hollywood. Although it is pretty close to West Hollywood. :-)</nitpick>

The Screening was great...always nice to see Bronson and "The Mechanic" on the big screen !!!

They were also giving out T-Shirts, Hats. Keychains and Posters with the re-make branding as well...

I have a screening pass for Jan 27th...if anyone wants it, let me know I'll mail it to you. I cant go...I'm working that evening !!!

It was great. I was at the 3:30 Sunday showing as well. I was surprised to see a line and glad Bronson still had so many fans. I'm definitely going to start seeing other classics at that revival theater.

I too was impressed by the line I saw when I walked up!! That sort of homage is so well deserved by Bronson. I had as great time as did a friend of mine who made the trip down form Las Vegas

I'll be checking the playbill for the New Beverly Cinema more regularly as well ...I live close enough to walk and for the admission price, you can't beat it !!

See ya there !!
