Picture yourself in a lawn chair, picnic cooler by your side,
surrounded with friends. Now add the beautiful Wimberley night sky above,
a gently cooling evening breeze, and a first-run movie screened for
your viewing pleasure. It just doesn't get much better than this!
This fall, like many before it, two benefits will be held at the Corral Theatre. The first is a benefit for Wimberley Birding Society on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September 9, 10, and 11. The featured movie is The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, "...that rare documentary that has romance, comedy and a surprise ending that makes you feel like you could fly out of the theater..." as the San Jose Mercury News has described it.
This is no ordinary film. In no time at all, the line between humans
and birds becomes blurred as you watch this true story of a remarkable
relationship between Mark Bittner, "a dharma bum" and former street
musician, and the wild parrots that seem to have appeared out of
nowhere. All this happens right in the middle of San Francisco in an
area with a view of Alcatraz.
The reviews for this film are raves. For example:
"An absolute delight and nothing like
the wimpy nature film its title suggests. It's a soaring --
figuratively and literally -- documentary with a surprising emotional
power."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"A precious gem of a film."
-- Jeffrey Bruner, Des Moines Register
And to think that all the ticket money for these showings is donated
directly to the Wimberley Birding Society! Connor, Mingus, Olive,
Pushkin, Picasso, Sophie, and Tupelo would most definitely approve!
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is rated G.
I you haven't been to the Corral Theatre
before, you'll be a regular by the time you finish watching this film.
The good news is that there's another benefit the following weekend.
The weekend of September 16, 17, and 18, Wimberley High School's
Project Graduation is the beneficiary of ticket money from a clever
comedy that is fun for all ages, Sky High (rated PG). Sky High is a
special high school for super heroes, but what would happen if the son
of super hero parents found himself there only to discover that the
super gene seemed to have given him a miss? This story of a kid who
worries about failing his parents and himself and falls in with misfit
sidekicks is a familiar one, but the setting is a different place
altogether. Again, as in real life, things change, and Will, the son,
finds that he must confront a villain and save the earth. This is a
movie filled with laughs, surprises, and great special effects.
Sky High is the last movie scheduled for the Corral Theatre this year.
Fresh-popped popcorn and the movie featuring cameos by Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman), Dave
Foley, and a collection of awesome powers will make this a night to
remember. And, thanks to the generosity of movie goers and Mary
Anderson's Corral Theatre, Wimberley High School students will remember
it...and you...with gratitude, long after the screen has gone dark.
Mark these two weekends on your calendar, call your friends, and click here to check out the Corral Theatre schedule with more great movies. Box office opens at 7:30 PM, the movies start at dark.
