A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas opens Nov 4th

I did not get the opportunity to see this film before it opened in theaters, but Mark Saldana certainly did and you can read his review on www.trueviewreviews.net.

I was going to give it a shot on opening weekend, that is until I found out that the "early bird special" of $6 has a $3.50 additional fee to see it because it is in 3D. I went somewhere else instead to use the $9.50, as I did not want to spend that much after reading Mark's review.

This will have to wait until it goes to the Round Rock Movies 8 theater.
