Austenland is a romantic comedy about 30-something, single Jane Hayes, a seemingly normal young woman with a secret: her obsession with Mr. Darcy-as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice-is ruining her love life; no real man can compare. But when she decides to spend her life savings on a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-crazed women, Jane's fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become more real than she ever could have imagined.

Little Kids' Movietime: "Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs", Fri. 3/21

Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs: To Dino World and Back!

Friday, March 21

10 am

 

Everyday events are far from commonplace in the lives of very young children, instead representing very real challenges and opportunities for growth. In this animated television series, Harry is just an ordinary kid struggling to make sense of things like nightmares, accidents, and childhood frustrations. Like Max and Emmy in Dragon Tales, Harry works out his problems by magically transporting himself into an imaginary world: in this case it's a place called Dino World that's populated by dinosaur friends Taury, Trike, Pterence, Sid, Patsy and Steggy. Harry learns about the power of imagination in "Aaahg!" and works on developing self-confidence and sportsmanship in "Goal." "Overdue" shows just how hard it can be for a child to return a book he really likes to the library and "Nobody's Listening To Me" portrays a child's frustration when everyone is simply too busy to listen. Finally, "Uh Oh!" looks at a child's options when he accidentally breaks something and explores the relative importance of things versus relationships.

These movies and shows are specifically for our preschool set (younger brothers/sisters are welcome). The shows typically run about 1 hour and we provide snacks and comfortable seats for everyone. The kids are welcome to bring blankets/pillows, etc. so they can stretch out on the floor and make themselves comfortable!

Movie: "American Hustle", Wed. 3/19 & Thurs. 3/20

American Hustle
Rated R (2 hrs., 18 mins.)
Wednesday, March 19 @ 1 pm AND
Thursday, March 20 @ 5:30 pm

A fictional film set in the alluring world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock America, AMERICAN HUSTLE tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that's as dangerous as it is enchanting. Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving's unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. Like David O. Russell's previous films (THE FIGHTER, SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK), American Hustle defies genre, hinging on raw emotion, and life and death stakes.

 

Admission is FREE. Popcorn and water are provided courtesy of the Friends of the Lane Memorial Library.
