The Edina 4 opens with two full weeks of ‘The Shining.’

Forgot to mention some big local movie theater news last week: The former Landmark Edina Cinema has reopened officially as the Edina 4, under the ownership of the local Mann Theaters chain. If you've ever wanted to hear your grandparents talk confusedly through Bros, now's your chance! (Seriously though, I'm excited by this news, and can't wait to visit.)
