“Ang Lee’s LIFE OF PI is a miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery. Inspired by a worldwide best-seller that many readers must have assumed was unfilmable, it is a triumph over its difficulties. It is also a moving spiritual achievement, a movie whose title could have been shortened to “life.” – Roger Ebert
Film content may not be suitable for all ages. Very real depictions of peril and harm are part of the narrative.
SUPER 8
On Friday, August 5th, SUPER 8 will be presented at sunset in Roger Williams Park on the Boat House Lawn. Bonus that it’s Food Truck Friday too! So grab your lawn chairs, order up some tasty local fixins and picnic your way to showtime. Don’t want to watch an entire film? Well then stay for the PCFF short film appetizers just before the feature meal.
With its night skies filled with mystery, its kids racing around town on bicycles and its flashlights forming visible beams in the air, “Super 8” has the visual signatures of an early Spielberg movie. Its earnest young heroes stumble upon an awesome mystery and try to investigate it themselves. And as an Ohio town experiences frightening events, we feel poised between “The Goonies” and a 1950s sci-fi film with the characters lined up side by side and looking in alarm at an awesome sight.
Film content may not be suitable for all ages. Very real depictions of peril and harm are part of the narrative. Some drug use references and profanity are also part of the script.
