This week’s featured presentation is the children’s classic The Sandlot. Scotty Smalls moves to a new neighborhood with his mom and stepdad, and wants to learn to play baseball. The neighborhood baseball guru Rodriquez takes Smalls under his wing, and soon he’s part of the local baseball buddies. They fall into adventures involving baseball, treehouse sleep-ins, the desirous lifeguard at the local pool, the snooty rival ball team, and the travelling fair. Beyond the fence at the back of the sandlot menaces a legendary ball-eating dog called The Beast, and the kids inevitably must deal with him.
While going to the movies is great – and expensive, wouldn’t you prefer to relax by the pool while watching a great movie with the kids? If it gets a little hot, you can take a quick dip in the pool or maybe find yourself a cocktail at the nearby bar. Maybe order some tasty morsels from a menu designed by Wolfgang Puck? Doesn’t that sound a little more appealing than heading to the theater?
Well, if it does, make your way to our weekly series of Dive-In Movies, playing every Saturday this summer on our celebrated Pool Deck, starting at 8 pm.

Her gay brother Frank recently attempted suicide. The grandpa is Edwin, a drug addict. The son is Dwayne a rebel who has vowed not to talk until he gets into the Air Force. And then there is Olive, a seven-year old girl who dreams of going to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. So what happens when they do?

This week’s feature is the classic The Princess Bride. One of the great modern fairy tales of our time, The Princess Bride is both grand adventure and brilliant satire of the fairy tale genre. What’s it about? A battle of wits, chatty swordfights, beautiful princesses, the Dread Pirate Roberts – well, the plot itself is so convoluted that it’s not worth retelling, but if you haven’t seen this movie – no matter what your age is – you owe it to yourself to come check it out. Written by William Goldman and directed by Rob Reiner, this modern classic is without equal: hilarious, exciting, dramatic, and devilishly quotable. Don’t miss it!
