Payback *NOW PLAYING*

“Having read the book, this looks like a fantastic movie adaptation. I'm excited to see it at the Princess Cinema in Uptown Waterloo. In the book, I especially liked the retelling of Dickens’s Christmas Story to a modern Earth Day Story in the book. I look forward to seeing what the movie does with the story. I would love to see a movie or theatrical adaptation of the Earth Day Story complete with the modern Scrooge and the Cockroach Spirit of Earth Day Future.”
