An R-rated Iraq thriller, a documentary on risks to the food supply and an animated children’s feature are all on tap as Parksville’s Community and Conference Centre screens movies to the public for a second time.
Laura Knapp, event co-ordinator at PCCC said an earlier trial screening of A Night at the Museum’s sequel failed to draw big crowds but hopes a switch to more adult fare may remedy that.
“We can’t give up on the first month. This time it has been better publicized.”
For just $5 audiences can get in to see one of three movies that began airing Oct. 29 and continue through Nov. 1.
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on a nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer.
The documentary contends that food supplies are controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of farmers, the safety of workers and our own environment. It airs Sunday, Nov. 1 at 4 p.m.
The Hurtlocker is an intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat, and is set in Baghdad during the Iraq War.
The remaining show times are Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 1 at 7 p.m.
On Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. the whole family can enjoy Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
Admission is payable at the door and popcorn is available.
