MacDill Happenings

If are looking for an inexpensive treat this weekend, then stop by the MacDill AFB Movie Theater for some great movies. Admission is only $4 for 12 years and up and $2 for those younger than 12. Don’t forget that a large popcorn and two medium soft drinks is only $10.  This Friday at 7pm “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2” is playing. This movie is rated PG-13 for mature material and sensuality with a run time of 120 minutes. Four young women continue the journey toward adulthood that began with “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” Now three years later, these lifelong friends embark on separate paths for their first year of college and the summer beyond, but remain in touch by sharing their experiences with each other as they always have–with honesty and humor. Discovering their individual strengths, fears, talents and capacity for love through the choices they make, they come to value more than ever the bond they share and the immeasurable power of their friendship. On Saturday at 7pm, “Pineapple Express” is playing. This movie is rated R for pervasive language, drug use, sexual references, and violence and has a run time of 112 minutes. Lazy stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver: to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city’s most dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be raced back to him. And it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they’re not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both.
