An Inconvenient Truth
Monday, April 9th at 5:30 pm

The Oscar winning documentary by former Vice President Al Gore concerning the threat of Global Warming.

You'll never look at a smokestack the same the same way again. This is a very powerful, frightening, yet inspirational film.

Regardless of your political leanings, An Inconvenient Truth contains a message you should hear to at least understand the potential threat Global Warming poses to mankind.

Kilowatt Ours
Monday, April 16th at 5:30 pm

Vance and I saw this film a couple of months ago - it's focused on where a lot of our energy comes from (coal), the impact of strip mining, but more importantly, what each of us can do to save energy. The last part of the film talks about what steps a normal family can take to save energy, specifically the savings in energy usage (and dollars!) possible by swapping over to Compact Florescent Lights (CFLs, now available at most stores that sell light bulbs).

It's a really cute film that packs a powerful message. Vance came home a convert, and really took an interest in saving energy (he faithfully turns out the light in his room now after viewing this film, and hounded me until we swapped over most of our lights to CFLs).

Highly recommended! - Mark

Hoot
Monday, April 23rd at 5:30 pm

A really cute movie of 3 Florida middle schoolers who join together fighting to save a flock of burrowing owls from an unethical real estate developer, corrupt politicians, and clueless cops.

Based on the Newberry award winning book by Carl Haasen.

Produced by Jimmy Buffett, who makes a cameo appearance as a high school teacher.
