But will AMC's forthcoming divorce from the Power & Light District's Mainstreet Theater change the way movie-goers see film in KC?
Friday on Up to Date, film critics Cynthia Haines, Steve Walker and Bob Butler discuss these topics as well as review the latest independent, foreign and documentary films showing on area screens.
