Last Movie in the Square

First off, I want to apologize to those who visited on Friday and did not find the regular event-related post you have come to expect from the Kingstonist team. I take full responsibility if you did not make it out to the Limestone City Blues Fest , which by all accounts was a complete success (if you like the Blues). While attending a wedding this past weekend, it dawned on me that I have yet to take in a movie in the square. A few weeks ago I was out for my regular evening jog and came across the rows of people who were taking in a movie I could not identify. This is probably owing to my super sonic running speed. With the final Movie in the Square set to go down this coming Thursday, I am determined to make an appearance. However, seeing as I’ve never heard of "Splash ", the last movie selected for screening, I am not sure it will be overly great. The one liner for this Tom Hanks flick reads: "Two days ago, this girl showed up naked at the Statue of Liberty. For Alan Bauer, it was love at first sight. Now, everyone is chasing her… trying to prove she’s a mermaid. From the first laugh you’ll be hooked." Wish me luck, and with any luck, they will add another movie to the schedule as was the case last summer.

Splash? Not the first thing I would think of for a summer movie outdoors.
I thought the Blues Festival was this coming weekend, but realized Labour Day was next Monday. Oops. Went to it last summer though.
So because you’ve never heard of it you’re not sure it can be overly great? Does this mean that you are only aware of great movies, or are you just a movie snob? Splash is a fun movie with Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. I suggest you watch it just for fun, but be careful of the stick when you sit down.
LOL. I am very much looking forward to the experience, but after reading the tagline for the movie, it seemed like a cheesy Tom Hanks “chick flick”. That said, I shall try not to pass judgement until after seeing it for myself. I’m definitely not a movie snob, some of my faves are admittedly terrible.
