...movie at home and seeing their idols on a 50-foot screen. The smooth adorableness of teen dream Zac Efron is now available in giant economy size. The deep dimples of his costar Vanessa Hudgens now loom, in microscopic close-up, like the mountain crevasses in an IMAX travelog; a bear cub could hibernate in one of them. And the dance numbers - the real reason some adults don't mind a 100-min. HSM babysit - now have the size and breadth they deserve. High School Musical 3 is High School Movie...

A 172-seat theater opened last week, with 70-mm showings of To Fly and a Reno travelog on a four-story screen. Pearson is already booking the theater for lectures and the space outside for a wide array of events, such as an auction in which 1,000 Harley-Davidsons will be displayed on the stadium's gleaming approaches.
