A COUPLE of dates for you to look forward to, er, next year....

Toy Story 3 (3D) will be released on July 23, 2010 and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, December 10, 2010.

And for the following year... Spider-Man 4 is now slated for Friday, May 6, 2011 with Transformers 3 to follow on, you've guessed it, Wednesday, June 29, 2011.

The growth in the digital marketplace is also such that on April 10 next month, the seven major releases will all be screening somewhere in the country on disc and not conventional print.

It's another milestone in cinema history and will be viewed with dismay by some people who prefer 35mm prints.

But the great thing about digital is that it should make it easier for foreign and more independent films to get screen space around the country.

Well, that's the theory.

I seem to recall that was also supposed to be the idea behind multiplexes.

But, like Heart FM, BRMB and Smooth FM, the multiplexes' gravitational pull towards safety-first programming often seems to restrict choice between competitors instead of enhancing it.
