the actual number of older moviegoers is growing explosively ? up 67 percent since 1995, according to GfK MRI, a media research firm.

in the last few months an older audience has made a startling reassertion of its multiplex power. ?True Grit,? ?The King?s Speech,? ?The Fighter,? ?Black Swan? ? all movies in contention for a clutch of Oscars on Sunday ? have all been surprise hits at the box office.

And they have all been powered by people for whom 3-D means wearing glasses over glasses, and ?Twilight? sounds vaguely threatening.

I am looking forward to a movie theater in Grand Blvd, and hopefully one that shows not only Oscar contending Hollywood "hits", but also some independent and international films...
