March is Movie Month

All month long, we'll be passing out the popcorn and kicking back for a good flick. On March 5, we'll show the Maurice Sendak classic, Where the Wild Things Are (PG), at 3:30 p.m. The Oscar-nominated film, Precious> (R), will be shown March 12, at 3:00 p.m. Then we'll celebrate the birthday of Louis L'Amour on March 18 at 3:30 p.m. with a showing of Conager (PG). Finally, we'll observe the birthday of American playwright Tennessee Williams with two showings on March 26, starting at 3:00 p.m. — Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (NR) and A Streetcar Named Desire (NR).
