Vine Street at the Movies is a small group of folks who enjoy watching movies together. Jim Carls, the group’s convener, is also the curator of the monthly screenings. On June 6 at 7:00 p.m. they will gather again, and they invite congregants and friends to join them. On the program is one of Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser's earlier movies: Blast From the Past. It's a "fish out of water" story that is really more of a "fish out of its can" tale. A young boy's paranoid parents have lived "off the grid" in the most extreme way possible and years later, the boy discovers that his world has... expanded. This is a lot of fun from a group of notable actors. Rated PG-13.
"Thanks to a clever script, tight direction, a first-rate cast and the dynamite combination of Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone, ”Blast from the Past” blows away the recent crop of romantic comedies. And it deftly makes a resounding point about the very real cost to society of the baby boom generation’s standards of manners and civility." —Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
Please note that starting with the June movie, the group will meet in the South Meeting Room, a.k.a. the Old Choir Room, to avoid late sunsets.
