MacDill Happenings

The MacDill AFB Movie Theater will be showing 3 movies this weekend.  On Friday at 7pm, “Night in Rodanthe” will be playing starring Diane Lane and Richard Gere. This movie is rated PG-13 for sensuality and has a run time of 92 minutes. Adrienne Willis retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to tend to a friend’s inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her — a wayward husband who has asked to come home, and a teen-aged daughter who resents her every decision. Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and a guest named Dr. Paul Flanner arrives. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience. Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.  On Saturday at 3pm, the animated comedy “Igor” starring John Cusack, and Myleene Klass is playing. This movie is rated PG for thematic elements, scary images, action, and mild language and has a run time of 86 minutes. Igor is sick of being a lowly lab assistant with a Yes Master’s degree and dreams of becoming a scientist. When his cruel master kicks the bucket a week before the annual Evil Science Fair, Igor finally gets his chance. With the help of two of his experimental creations Brain and Scamper, Igor embarks on building the most evil invention of all time. Instead of turning out evil, the monster turns out as Eva, a giant aspiring actress who wouldn’t hurt a fly. Just when the load on his back can’t get any heavier, Igor and his band of monstrous misfits uncover an evil plot that threatens their world. Now, they must fight to save it. The 7pm show on Saturday is also a comedy “Ghost Town” starring Ricky Gervais, and Greg Kinnear. This movie is rated PG-13 for strong language, sexual humor, and drug references and has a run time of 102 minutes. Bertram Pincus is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghost. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy, who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen. Don’t forget that admission to the movies is only $4 for patrons 12 years and up and $2 for children 5-11 years old. Remember a large popcorn and two medium soft drinks is only $10.
