2011 Lineup

  • Saturday, July 30 – The Princess Bride (PG): In this enchantingly cracked fairy tale, the beautiful Princess Buttercup and the dashing Wesley must overcome staggering odds to find happiness. Giants, swordsmen, six-fingered counts, murderous princes, Sicilians, pirates, rodents of unusual size and even death cannot stop true love from triumphing.
  • Saturday, August 13 – Inception (PG-13): In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, Dom Cobb is the absolute best at extraction and stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in the world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime.
  • Saturday, August 20 – Raiders of the Lost Ark (PG): Relive this Steven Spielberg adventure on the big screen on its 30th Anniversary. Archeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the US government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis.
  • Satuday, August 27 – The Incredibles (PG): In this animated adventure, Mr. Incredible (A.K.A. Bob Parr), and his wife Helen (A.K.A. Elastigirl), are the world’s greatest famous crime-fighting superheroes. But they have been forced to adopt civilian identities, retreat to the suburbs and live a “normal life” with their three children Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack. Itching to get back into action, Bob gets his chance when a mysterious communication summons him to a remote island for a top secret assignment. He soon discovers that it will take a super family effort to rescue the world from total destruction.
  • Sunday, August 28 – O Brother, Where Art Thou? (PG-13): Loosely based on Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ the movie deals with the adventures of Everett Ulysses McGill and his companions Delmar and Pete in 1930s Mississippi. Sprung from a chain gang and trying to reach Everett’s home to recover the buried loot of a bank heist, they are confronted by a series of strange characters including sirens, a Cyclops, bank robber George ‘Babyface’ Nelson, a campaigning Governor, a lynch mob, and a blind prophet, who warns the trio that “the treasure you seek shall not be the treasure you find.”
