Summer Film Club

Hey everybody!

First things first.  Thank you to everyone who came out to see Locke last month, we had a good turnout and great treats!  A big thank you to everyone.

Summer is fast approaching and with it our Summer Film Club.  The Summer Film Club is a little different than regular film club, where, instead of one film a month, we do TWO a month that fit into a certain theme.  To correspond with Summer Reading, the theme for this summer is going to be Space.  I know we just did space a couple years ago, but I found 6 more films that we haven't watched yet, so it'll work out.  To mix it up a bit, I chose 3 films that depict space travel realistically and 3 that are more in the science fiction realm.  We will meet the 3rd and 4th Thursday of each month at 6:15pm.  This post will be an overview of the whole summer and I'll have individual posts for each month to follow.

So, this is what the summer looks like:

Science fiction and space in general account for some of my favorite films of all time, so this should be an enjoyable series.  I hope to see you there!
