Episode Synopsis
The CSIs investigate two murders — one in a movie theater, the other in an abandoned warehouse — that are even more bizarre and perplexing than usual.
The first case takes Grissom and Catherine to a dingy art house, where a moviegoer was stabbed in the back of the head with a screwdriver. Apparently, the man was killed during a noisy on-screen gunfight, perhaps by a tall redheaded woman seen leaving the theater during that scene. Across town, a team tries to unravel the mystery of a badly bruised 15-year-old boy found shot to death in a bullet-riddled warehouse, where more than 100 rounds were fired from every conceivable angle, including the roof.

Loved the Catherine and Grissom banter, reminded me of some of the really great episodes from season 1. Seeing Grissom smiling, and not brooding, was such a nice change of pace. He's been brooding way to much this year. I miss quirky Grissom. Catherine was in spectacular form for this episode as well. I really just love how well the two of them work together.
The 'B' Plot was, for a change, just as interesting and well developed as the 'A' plot was. I couldn't help but laugh as Sara carried around that bamboo pole.

Great up until the end. The endings seem a little far fetched. Killer show girls? I've seen MTV Jackass too, but theses guys are unbeleivable

This Episode was classic CSI and I absolutely loved Grissom's line at the end, when he states to Cath that he preferred, " ...silent movies." BRILLIANT!!

Really liked the Hitchcock-storyline, the other story line with the mad teens was also very good, this is one of my favourite episodes.

This chapter is very wellmade, and also is a nice parody of classic movies. The end at the cinema is pretty funny, I still laughing.

I loved this one. Both stories were written well. I loved how Sara was so 'obsessed' over that bamboo stick. And how Greg and Jackie had their bet over who could get a hit off the weapon first. Just an all around great episode. The end with Gris and Cath
