Now Playing! Around Banderas Bay
The recent explosion of movie theaters in Puerto Vallarta give movie-goers a broad range of choices. From ultra-modern cinemas with up to 14 screens playing first-run films in English [with Spanish sub-titles] to combination coffee and movie houses playing art, international and independent films from over the years, going to the movies in Puerto Vallarta is a lot cheaper than back home . . . and a great way to learn a little Spanish, too.

Pacino and De Niro: How the Mighty Have Fallen
 Patrick Goldstein
I thought Francis Ford Coppola was being cranky last fall when he badmouthed Al Pacino and Robert De Niro - the stars of Coppola's immortal "Godfather" films - for taking parts for the money and losing their passion for doing great work. But Coppola was right on the money.
