You've seen Maverick, Goose and Iceman fly before, but never like this: "Top Gun" has been converted to 3-D and opens in IMAX on Friday for a six-day run in the giant-screen format.

Multiple films have been slated to play this spring at Cinemark Tulsa's IMAX at 10802 E. 71st St., said theater manager Cameron Bush, including familiar names and new titles in its IMAX theater.

Upcoming films opening in IMAX include:

Feb. 14: "A Good Day to Die Hard" opens early next Thursday for the Valentine's Day crowd looking for a movie, with Bruce Willis back as Officer John McClane, this time in Russia. Those wishing to see it first will find a 10 p.m. Wednesday IMAX showing available.

March 1: "Jack the Giant Slayer" stars Nicholas Hoult (of the zombie hit "Warm Bodies") as a young farmer who must battle giants to save a princess and her kingdom. Also in 3-D, playing for one week.

March 8: "Oz the Great and Powerful" tells the story that happens before the events in "The Wizard of Oz." The players are familiar, with James Franco as the Wizard, Mila Kunis as the Wicked Witch of the West and Michelle Williams as Glinda the Good Witch. Also in 3-D, playing for at least three weeks.

April 5: "Jurassic Park" is the next blockbuster from the past receiving a 3-D makeover allowing the dinosaurs to stomp into IMAX theaters.

While "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" is scheduled for a one-week IMAX 3-D release in some markets on March 29, Bush said the picture has not yet been confirmed for a Cinemark Tulsa release.

“I was born a poor, black child” … not me, actually, but Steve Martin’s character in the “The Jerk.” That absurd opening line is just one of the absurd number of film facts, quotes and minutiae contained in movie critic Michael Smith’s brain, at his disposal to toss out on a moment’s notice. It’s a key requirement as Tulsa World film critic to know these things. Michael learned a few other life facts along the way (seven years as a Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti manager) before attempting journalism and joining the Tulsa World in 1996, where he’s covered everything from a school shooting in Fort Gibson to a tornado in Stroud to witnessing an execution. A little community theater coverage was sprinkled in there, too. Movies engender many of his happiest memories, from standing in line for “Star Wars” and “Grease” at the Southroads Cinema to the James Bond and Pink Panther movies that always premiered at the enormous Continental Theater.
