This week’s featured presentation is the indie hit Little Miss Sunshine. The Hoover family is the dictionary definition for the word “dysfunctional”. The dad Richard is a man who gives lectures on winners and losers, the wife is Sheryl, a chain-smoking, frazzled wife and working mother whose idea of a home cooked meal frequently consists of a bucket of chicken. 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!
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.
This week’s flick is the lovely animated movie, Fantastic Mr. Fox. Funny, dramatic, and accessible to all ages, this movie is based on the much-loved children’s book by Roald Dahl, stars George Clooney and Meryl Streep, and was directed by the quirky Wes Anderson. If you missed this flick in the theaters, don’t miss it now.
Going to the movies is a lot of work. Think about all the work that comes with a trip to the movies: For one thing, you have to wear pants the entire time. And I’m not particularly partial to pants, unless they’re made from yak’s fur, woven by Tibetan monks during a full moon. If you haven’t worn full moon yak pants, you haven’t worn pants at all.
Where was I? Oh, yes: 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 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? Does that sound a little appealing?
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. And you don’t even have to wear pants, so hurrah! (Editor’s Note: But swimming suits of some kind are obviously required.)
This week’s flick is Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Exciting and funny, this is the perfect summer night movie for the whole family. It stars Ben Stiller as he returns to the role of the museum security guard who simply is way over his head when all the exhibits in a museum come to life… again.

This week’s feature presentation is Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. After the first movie, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are on top of the world. But it can’t last. After an on-stage accident leaves their human friend, David, in the hospital, Alvin and the chipmunks have to head back to high school where they face off against bullies, popular girls, and most terrifying of all, true love. It’s the Chipmunks vs the Chipettes, as the boys are confronted by an equally talented, and much cuter, trio of female chipmunks. Will Alvin and the chipmunks make it out of high school alive? Will they fall in love? Will they ever behave?
