Movies in the Square
Movies in the Square on July 11 is the 1980’s Tom Cruise classic Top Gun. Don’t forget to bring your chair for this free event in Springer Market Square.
Weekend Pick
This weekend is all about Spider-Man: Far From Home. I love the take Marvel has done with Tom Holland as the lead and I am especially looking forward to seeing how Holland’s Peter Parker deals with life after the events in Avengers: Endgame.
There are still many great films available at the multiplexes this week. The Screening Room has Pavarotti from master Ron Howard. Werner Herzog’s Meeting Gorbachev would be a great retrospective of a powerful leader from the 1980’s.
If you are looking for true 80’s nostalgia, Top Gun playing in Springer Market Square might just be the choice for you. Wherever the box office takes you this weekend, enjoy the show.
