From the Front Row of the Balcony: 'Toy Story 3' has all a movie can offer
Bo Peep is long gone, thanks to a garage sale sometime since 1999.
Andy is about to leave for college.
All that's left for Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the Toy Story crew is a trip to the attic, where they may live until Andy has children.
Or worse perhaps, they fear, a worse fate awaits them — the landfill. From the Front row of the Balcony: Shrek 4 a perfect way to begin Digital Age
Editor's Note: This is a new feature at Vinton Today, sort of a trial run to see if VT readers are interested in something like this. I will see the new movie that plays at the Palace, and write a short review from a very non-movie critic perspective. My goal is to do this each week, as along as VT readers seem interested.
The movie, this week, was second to the technology at the Palace Screen.

Digital era nears for Palace; 'Juliet' to be last 35-mm film there
We’re counting down the days at the Palace Theatre! One final 35 mm movie and then we not only enter the digital age, but also become the only theatre in the world with $3 3D!
I haven’t actually researched the last bit of that statement, but I’m pretty confident I’m correct in that assertion!
Donations are still coming in from near and far. 'Robin Hood' next at Palace screen; digital progress continues

Summer has officially arrived! I’m enjoying my first sun burn, a rash of bug bites, and on Friday the kids wrap up the 2009-2010 school year and “Iron Man 2” opens on the Palace big screen.
Love, love, love Robert Downey Jr.! And Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, and Mickey Rouke – I just can’t wait! It sounds like the story line is basically the same as the first movie, and I’ve heard comments both ways – some like one better, some prefer two.
