The Wynnsong Theater is probably the best one in Durham right now,
and it happens to be right behind my house. :-)

Go see the film there.  You won't be disappointed.  They also
did midnight showings of SW-Ep.I.

I'd love to go, but with a baby it just isn't really practical... 
Oh well.  We're going to my in-laws house on Thursday so we
can leave the baby with them for a couple of hours on Friday...
