Movies on the MeadowThe PCA is proud to present the 2011 Schedule for our popular Movies on the Meadow series, brought to you through the generous support of M&T Bank and Councilman Michael LoCurto. We've organized this year's schedule in conjunction with the Buffalo Zoo's Ferocious Friday's program, showing titles that relate to programs being offered at the zoo that evening.
August 12th Night at the Museum
Ben Stiller leads an all-star cast including Robin Williams and Dick Van Dyke in this hilarious blockbuster hit. When good-hearted dreamer Larry Daley (Stiller) is hired as night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, he soon discovers that an ancient curse brings all the exhibits to life after the sun sets. Suddenly, Larry finds himself face-to-face with a frisky T. rex skeleton, tiny armies of Romans and cowboys and a mischievous monkey who taunts him to the breaking point. But with the help of President Teddy Roosevelt (Williams), Larry may just figure out a way to control the chaos and become a hero in his son's eyes. Boasting jaw-dropping special effects and laugh-out-loud moments, Night at the Museum is your ticket to nonstop fun!
August 19th Rango
This animated comedy-adventure follows the comical, transformative journey of Rango, a sheltered chameleon living as an ordinary family pet, while facing a major identity crisis. When Rango accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging town of Dirt, the less-than-courageous lizard suddenly finds he stands out. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt...until, in a blaze of action-packed situations and encounters with outrageous characters, Rango starts to become the hero he once only pretended to be.
August 26th Sorcerer's Apprentice
Balthazar Blake is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath. Balthazar can’t do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler, a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential as his reluctant protege. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It’ll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes the sorcerer’s apprentice.
This is a Free series open to the public. Bring a picnic blanket, and come out to enjoy Delaware Park at dusk with your friends and neighbors. In the event of rain, the shows will be held at the nearby Parkside Lodge. For further details please call the PCA at 716 838-1240 We hope to see you there.
For those of you looking to drive to our Movies on the Meadow series, the Buffalo Zoo has generously offered free parking to our audience. You're invited to use the lot south of the zoo entrance at the corner of Jewett Parkway and Parkside Ave. The gate will be raised at 9:30 for those of you that stay for the entire show. If for whatever reason you need to leave before then, the PCA will be selling parking tokens ($3.50/car) on behalf of the zoo, that you'll need to exit the lot. A portion of the proceeds earned goes toward worldwide conservation projects.
The movies are scheduled to start as soon as it's dark enough to be seen, approximately 8:30 pm, and will be located down the hill from the Parkside lodge, close to the playground near the intersection of Florence and Parkside. It looks like we're in for a beautiful evening this week, so we hope to see you there.
