, Miss. (VDN<\/a>)\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Vicksburg\u2019s to show Army of Darkness, Saturday, Oct. 10 beginning at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

Presented by John Roquet, join movie goers for a good way to start Halloween season with a movie featuring lots of skeletons and laughs.<\/p>\n

\ufeffAccording to Roger Ebert: \u201cSam Raimi\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0is a goofy, hyperventilated send-up of horror films and medieval warfare, so action-packed it sometimes seems less like a movie than like a cardiovascular workout for its stars.<\/p>\n

The method of the film is simple. As many action and horror cliches as possible are trashed; the film does for medieval mythology and horror what\u00a0The Naked Gun\u00a0did for cops.<\/p>\n

Army of Darkness\u00a0stars\u00a0Bruce Campbell<\/a>, who also starred in the first two\u00a0Evil Dead\u00a0movies, and who looks like a square-jawed, muscular comic book hero. One action sequence flows into another with only the briefest of pauses for elementary plot details.<\/p>\n

Campbell plays Ash, who in real life works in a discount supermarket, but finds himself and his car deposited on a medieval battlefield, where before long Ash assumes leadership and leads his knights in warfare against an army of the dead. (There are more animated skeletons here than in any film since\u00a0Jason and the Argonauts.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

The special effects in\u00a0Army of Darkness\u00a0are ingenious and a lot of fun. The makeup is state of the art.\u201d<\/p>\n

All that and .<\/p>\n

Advance tickets will be $9 at Highway 61 Coffeehouse or $10 at the door.<\/p>\n

The Strand Theatre is located at 717 Clay Street in downtown Vicksburg.<\/p>\n
