Crazy weather! Reel Pizza will be heated when its freezing, and air-conditioned when its sultry. I am still cold from watching the middle-school track meet yesterday in Ellsworth. And they are calling for FROST tonight!
First, the town-wide yard sale "Sale'bration" that was rained out last weekend, has been re-scheduled for this coming Saturday from 9am to 2pm all around town , including in the Reel Pizza parking lot. Proceeds from the table rentals are going to ISLAND CONNECTIONS.
Second we have SPECIAL PROGRAMMING on Sunday May 16th starting at 1:00 pm, sponsored by the Lamoine and Bar Harbor Conservation Commissions and the Union River Watershed Coalition. This will include a free screening of the film TAPPED and followed by a panel discussion on bottled water and its impacts moderated by Ken Cline, Environmental Policy and Law Professor at College of the Atlantic. The other panelists include Daphne Loring (Coordinator at the Maine Fair Trade Campaign), Emily Posner (Coordinator for Defending Water for Life in Maine), Lynne Williams (attorney and Green Independent candidate for Maine State Senate), Willem Brutsaert (Environmental Engineer Professor at the University of Maine and expert in groundwater and surface water hydrology), and Nisha Swinton (Maine Organizer for Food & Water Watch).
Third, a sad announcement, I would have hoped by now to be telling you of the start of the Wednesday morning Farmer's Market. But I have heard nothing from the organizers, and there's a rumor around town is that it isn't going to happen this year. I am definitely feeling as disappointed as some of you are sure to be, but I have had no information about the status, so all I can say is it isn't happening yet, and may well not be at all. SORRY...
We also have films, listed below. See you soon!

DATE NIGHT (PG-13) 88min 5:30 and 7:30
In New York City, a case of mistaken identity turns a bored married couple's attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening into something more thrilling and dangerous. Claire and Phil Foster (Tina Fey and Steve Carell) are a typical suburban couple whose lives – including their weekly date nights of dinner and a movie – have become routine. To reignite the marital spark, they visit a trendy Manhattan bistro where a case of mistaken identity turns their evening into the ultimate date night-gone-awry. But as Claire and Phil take their unexpected walk on the wild side, they begin to remember what made them so special together. The early word (from Variety) on this new action romantic comedy from director Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) is that it is "uncommonly engaging" and "hits a home run."

THE RUNAWAYS (R) 105min 6:00 and 8:15
Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart nail their roles as Cherie Currie and Joan Jett, two of the founding members of the seventies band The Runaways. Discovered by their manager Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon) who manipulates their image with drill sergeant precision, he turns these rock-obsessed highschool misfits into successful stars by exploiting their youth and sexuality. Based on Currie's memoir Neon Angel and the feature debut of music video director Floria Sigismondi, this gritty, spirited story of the rise and fall of these teenaged rock-n-roll rebels, and the unlikely friendship that developed between the two main bandmates is authentic with rich, period details.

MID-AUGUST LUNCH (NR) 74min [in ITALIAN with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:00
With delectable scenes of food preparation, this delightful and perfectly executed farce follows a middle-aged man who is forced by financial circumstance to spend the biggest summer holiday weekend entertaining his elderly mother and three other feisty mammas. Starring Italian screenwriter (of the totally different film Gomorrah) and first time director Gianni di Gregorio, working with several first-time senior citizen actresses who are so good it is hard to be sure they are acting and not in a documentary, this warm-hearted tale of good food and unlikely friendship is a vibrant family drama and charming comedy of manners.
