Trailers for Next Movie - Vote by June 5

Here are the trailers for the movies to be voted on for the next showing. The poll closes at 11:00 PM June 5 so please vote by then. You can see the voting box to the right of these posts, below the welcome message.

The next showing will be Saturday June 6, around 9:15 - 9:30 PM or as soon as it gets dark enough to see.

Since it gets dark later, forcing us to start later, we'll have to limit the movies that we can show to those that last not much longer than 90 minutes, allowing us to finish no later than 11:00 PM. That's why Revenge of the Jedi isn't in the poll this week. We'll be able to put it in the poll later this summer when it begins getting dark earlier again.

The first movie in the poll this week is Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005). This movie runs for approximately 85 minutes and is rated G.

Wallace and his loyal dog, Gromit, set out to discover the mystery behind the garden sabotage that plagues their village and threatens the annual giant vegetable growing contest.

The second movie in the poll is Shrek (2001). This movie runs for 90 minutes and is rated PG for mild language and some crude humor.

An ogre, in order to regain his swamp, travels along with an annoying donkey in order to bring a princess to a scheming lord, wishing himself King.

The third movie in the poll is The Muppet Movie (1979). This movie runs for 95 minutes and is rated G.

Kermit and his new found friends trek across America to find success in Hollywood, but a frog-legs merchant is after Kermit.

The fourth and final movie in the poll is Tron (1982), a Disney movie starring Jeff Bridges. This movie runs for 96 minutes and is rated PG.

A hacker is literally abducted into the world of a computer and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program.



Please remember to vote for the movie you'd like to see on the side of the house by June 5. We'll post the winning movie here the next day. And feel free to email me with recommendations for movies you'd like to see, as well!

Showtime will be Saturday June 6 at around 9:15 PM. Hope to see you there!

The Empire Will Finally Strike Back This Saturday!

Looks like the weather will be cooperating this Saturday evening, so we'll be showing Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back on the side of the house around 9:00 PM.

Since the last showing (Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope) was a few weekends ago, here's a quick refresher found on YouTube to bring everybody back up to speed.



Please bring a blanket or lawn chair and whatever you want to munch on and drink, and join us for the movie on the side of the house. Hope to see you there!

Date: Saturday May 23
Time: 9:00 PM
Show: The Empire Strikes Back

Next Showing Postponed Until Saturday May 23

Since the temperatures this Saturday (the 16th) will be below 60 for a high and in the 30's for a low, we'll wait another week and hope for warmer weather as befits the month of May. As of now, we'll show The Empire Strikes Back at around 9:00 PM on Saturday May 23.

Have a great weekend!

The Empire Was Rained Out

Well, we had everything set up and ready and then we had to take it down - as Snoop Dogg would say - for drizzle.

So... let's try again next Saturday night (the 16th) for The Empire Strikes Back, and we'll start around 9:00 PM when it's a little darker. Hope to see you there!

The Empire Strikes Back Tonight

It's a little cool, but we'll give it a shot. We can always decide to postpone a week if everyone thinks it's too chilly . You might want to wear a jacket and maybe bring a blanket.

Just bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on, and whatever you want to snack on and drink, and join us in watching Star Wars - Episode V The Empire Stikes Back (the episode following the one we showed a couple weeks ago ). Showtime is around 8:45.

The Empire Strikes Back This Saturday May 9 (Weather Permitting)

The Empire Strikes Back received the most votes,
so it will be the movie shown on the side
of the house this Saturday. The forecast
calls for a high of only 56 tomorrow, so
you might want to bring a blanket.
In the event of inclement weather
or if it gets too cold, we'll
show the movie the following
Saturday. Check here this
Saturday prior to
the 8:45 showtime
to see whether

we need to

postpone

a week.

Once everyone arrives, if most think it's too cold we could also decide then to wait a week if you'd like.

Date: Saturday May 9

Time: 8:45 PM
