It’s been 43 years since the Beatles movie
Help! stormed across the world, introducing fans to the sheer wackiness of the world’s greatest pop band.
Now,
Help! has been re-released as a souped-up DVD package – check out
this review – and for Canadian fans, there’s a one-off theatrical release, too... featuring Hi-Def, 5.1 Digital Surround Sound and a 15-minute interview extra. Tickets are on sale now for the shows on November 26 – one night only – at
32 Cineplex Odeon theatres across the country.
What’s the curling connection? The moptops go curling, but of course, and almost bite it when a wacko puts a bomb in a rock (see screen capture above, featuring
George Harrison and said wacko).
