 The
Princess Bride
Screening Quiz/Contest
Screening Tuesday, August 2, 2005 at
the Red Rocks Amphitheater - Doors open at 6pm.
A kindly grandfather sits down with his grandson and reads
him a bedtime story. The story is one that has been passed down
through from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads
the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of
love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup is kidnapped and held
against her will in order to marry the odious Prince Humperdinck,
and Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate
Roberts) attempts to save her. On the way he meets an accomplished
swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become his
companions in his quest. They meet a few bad guys along the way to
rescue Buttercup. The film is rated PG.
Pre-show entertainment will feature music by Trampolines.

 James
Doohan Beams UpI feel the need to say something about Jimmy,
who died July 20th in his home in Redmond Washington.
I miss Jimmy. He was a frequent guest on the convention circuit in
the 80's when I had the opportunity to get to know him as a fellow Star
Trek traveler. He enjoyed a good joke and certainly wasn't a wall
flower. He could occasionally be gruff, but that's how you knew he
wasn't telling you what you wanted to hear. If you bothered him - he let
you know... but that wasn't too often.
Jimmy would talk at length with fans in a restaurant and share
surprisingly intimate stories with people he had just met. I got the
impression, more so as his memories started to fade (Jimmy suffered from
Alzheimer's), that he found comfort and solace with those unfamiliar fan
faces that he knew could be counted as friends when even those close to
him became less recognizable.
Rest in peace Scotty, er Jimmy, we'll miss you much. |

 Smile Screening
Tonight, Thursday, July 28th @ 7:30pm
Tamarac Square Cinemas 7777 E Hampden Ave.
Malibu, California - Present day. A smart, precocious and beautiful
teenager named Katie (Mika Boorem) celebrates her birthday with her family and
friends. Her father, Steven (Beau Bridges), and mother, Bridgett (Linda
Hamilton), have provided Katie with a lot of love and understanding, as well as
a privileged life and all that a material world has to offer. Halfway around
world in rural China, another teenage girl, Lin (Yi Ding), celebrates her
birthday on the exact same day, but her reality exists in stark contrast to
Katie's. Rescued as an infant, Lin has a severe facial deformity that prevents
her from the freedom of ever showing her face. Her adoptive father, Daniel (Luoyong
Wang), has sacrificed everything in his life in order to protect his beloved
child. They live with the bare essentials, in darkness and absolute simplicity.
But they are bonded with incredible love and closeness. His only hope is that
one day Lin can emerge from her self-imposed isolation to live in the world
without fear and shame. On his way home from work one day, Daniel sees a flyer
that alerts him to a special medical program that provides reconstructive
surgery to children in countries who cannot otherwise afford it. It's called
"Doctor's Gift" (based on "Operation Smile"). Although she's reluctant at first,
Lin agrees to accompany her father to a clinic in Shanghai. However, due to a
series of unfortunate events, Daniel is unable to get Lin to the clinic in time,
and they miss out on the chance for surgery.This film also stars Starfest
2004 guest Sean Astin.
This film is rated PG-13. Tickets are available to tonight's screening on a

High Screening
Screening Thursday July 14th at
3:00pm at the UA Denver Pavilions (16th & Tremont)
When you're the son of the world's most legendary superheroes
The Commander (Kurt Russell) and Jetstream (Kelly Preston), there is
only one school for you - Sky High, an elite high school that is
entrusted with the responsibility of molding today's power-gifted
students into tomorrow's superheroes.
The problem is that Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano) is starting
with no superpowers of his own and, worst of all, instead of joining
the ranks of the "Hero" class, he finds himself relegated to being a
"Sidekick." Now he must somehow survive his freshman year while
dealing with an overbearing gym coach (Bruce Campbell), a bully with
super speed and an dangerous rebel with a grudge (and the ability to
shoot fire from his hands)... not to mention the usual angst,
parental expectations and girl problems that accompany teenage life.
But when an evil villain threatens his family, friends and the very
sanctity of Sky High, Will must use his newfound superpowers to save
the day and prove himself a "Hero" worthy of the family tradition.
This film is rated PG. Reserving free tickets
is easy, but your party must include someone under 18 years of age.
