October 3 – October 10, 2012


It must be fall.  Below you will find multiple Oktoberfests, Fall Fests, Harvest Fests! So, the trip will be as much fun as the destination if you are observing the beautiful SW Michigan tree-lined, color-filled roads. There are also Haunted Houses! I personally will not be visiting those, but, well, if you like to scream, here you go!  Also, it’s an election year, so do not forget to get out and vote!

Weekly Events:


 


Flick’s Family Film Fest

Starting Friday, October 5, 2012

Kids under 12 are free and adults are only $4.00.  See some family friendly movies with your children.  Check out the website for movie list, dates and times.


 

This week’s movie is: The Pirates! Band of Misfits.” PG

Every year, the Pirate Captain (voiced by Hugh Grant) enters the prestigious Pirate of the Year contest and loses because his crew prefers to lie low and enjoy the simpler pleasure of "Ham Night" rather than engage in the bloody but profitable work of hardcore pirateering. When the contest's other contenders for 1837's title -- Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek), Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven), and Peg Leg Hastings (Lenny Henry) -- poke fun at the Pirate Captain, he decides to embark on an aggressive campaign to take over other ships. But the plan is a failure ... until the captain storms the ship of Charles Darwin (David Tennant) and is told that his pet parrot is actually the thought-to-be-extinct Dodo bird. Darwin convinces the Pirate Captain and his crew to make landfall in London so the Dodo can win "untold riches" at an annual science conference. But what it really does is bring the pirates to the attention of the pirate-hating Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton), who has her own surprisingly nefarious reasons to want to keep the Dodo.”

For a review of the movie, a section called, “What Parents Need to Know”, as well as real parent reviews, please visit the Common Sense Media webpage: http://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-pirates-band-of-misfits

Next week’s movie is: “Madagascar 3” PG.
