So, you were all set to see The Chipmunks at 11:35 this morning. The kids had been bugging you since 8. “Mommy, when are we leaving!” cried the three-year-old. You finally pack the kids in the car and drive to the multiplex. You head into the theater, wait on line several minutes, peer up at the show times and see “Chipmunks 10:55 1:00, 3:05, 5: 10.”

Movies are released in theaters on Wednesdays and Fridays. Christmas is one of the few exceptions. Theater schedules are rearranged and a feature may be dropped on these days.

The Bucket List, starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, opened yesterday in limited release.
