Walk-In Movies: Goonies - Wed, Aug 10th
Good vs. Evil, Rich vs. Poor, Nerd vs. Cool, you name a classic battle between two groups and it's part of The Goonies. This week we'll take a look back to the mid-80's to join a group of friends and mis-fits as they go in search of buried treasure in the hopes of saving their homes from becoming a golf course.
This movie holds a special place in my heart, and whenever i watch it i'm taken back to grade school and the summer i spent watching this movie whenever it was on HBO. It's got great lines, it's got action, adventure, comedy and who could forget the 'truffle shuffle'. In addition to all that it's got 'star power', featuring Sean Astin who'd go on to Lord of the Rings fame as Sam Wise and Corey Feldman who not only broke the hearts of many of my 8th grade girlfriends also starred in 'Stand By Me' as well as a bunch of other movies that went' straight to landfill.
The Goonies is a great chance to flash back to the mid-80's and sing along with Cindi Lauper's title track 'The Goonies' so bring your legwarmers. And who knows...there may even be some pirate treasure at the event tomorrow...
Also, next Thursday August 18th, we'll be hosting the 'Best of San Francisco' event for the 48 Hour Film Project (http://www.48hourfilm.com/sf/) where they'll be screening a selection of the 26 films that were made for this year's contest by local talent. So come out and support local film, and I've been told there will be an after party where you can share a beer or two with some of the film makers and actors, so it's bound to be a great time.
Side note, we're getting down to the end of our 'Mega-pop' pop-corn and bags so if you all have extra movie-style popcorn let me know, or if you're feeling generous and want to donate a box to the greater good we've never looked a gift horse in the mouth ;)
