GR8scott 79 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 Anyone planning on seeing the movie Kalamazoo? it comes out Friday the 7th only at goodrich movie theaters which I think is Ada-Lowell 5, Grand Haven and some in kzoo/battle creek area. If it does well there, they will expand to other theaters and maybe even nationally. They filmed it 2 years ago and my friends band has a song in it or on the soundtrack.

Phizzy 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 I've never heard of it. What is it about?Kalamazoo? Three women return home for their ten year high school reunion to discover that a time capsule made on graduation night, predicting where everyone would be in ten years' time, is due to be opened and read aloud at the impending event. Horrified at the thought of their unfulfilled goals being revealed, they embark on a 'search and destroy' mission to get their hands on the capsule and chaos ensues! Meanwhile, the spirits of their three deceased grandmothers come down to help guide the gals through this transitional point in their lives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbrok 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2006 Had a chance to check out the movie yesterday, and have to say it was actually pretty good. It has a kind of more wholesome story that follows in the vein of films like My Big Fat Greek Wedding. There were some funny parts, although at times it was a little silly. All in all, still better than 90% of the garbage that makes its way to theaters. Mayim Bialik (Blossom) is in it, as is Michael Boatman who played Carter on Spin City. Virtually all the scenes were on location in Kzoo, in places like Bell's, the Civic Theatre and Sweetwaters Donut Mill. Not sure whether the director was local, but the two sisters who wrote and produced it went to Kalamazoo Central High School. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chieflenny 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2006 The director is David O'Malley and he's from Battle Creek. Part of the reason the movie was made, according to the writers (who are from Kalamazoo), was to get Hollywood to notice Michigan as a great place to make movies.
