matinee

Did you really run a half-marathon before doing a matinee and evening performance of “The Color Purple”?

The audience at the Saturday matinee audience I attended was filled with young people who seemed delighted by the rambunctious high jinks.

Not surprisingly, the game ended in a 1-1 draw before a modest sun-splashed matinee crowd at BMO Stadium, although the result extended Angel City’s unbeaten streak to a season-long three games.

“Rumours” also benefits from Maddin’s cheesy, genre-specific DNA, especially in Stefan Ciupek’s pulsating cinematography, which combines mid-century melodrama with a fog-thick monster matinee.

Now, another quick turnaround in this series awaits them, with a matinee Game 2 scheduled for 1:08 p.m.
