Friday Night Movies at the Library

Friday Night Moves at the Library Every Friday at 6:30 PM

On November 3rd, we will be showing "Firewall" starring Harrison Ford in this high-tech thriller.

Then on November 10th, we will screen "The Pink Panther" with Steve Martin.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune had this to say about it:
"The Pink Panther does justice to the old Blake Edwards/Peter Sellers crime comedies -- it's almost as good as the best of those films, far better than the worst -- but doesn't depend on viewers being familiar with them."

And on November 17th, we are showing "The Benchwarmers"
Keven A. Ransom from moviecrypt.com said, "You won't know whether to roll your eyes or smile like a fool, but you will know you've been entertained."
