FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS dir. Peter Berg, 2004. Cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Garret Hedlund, Derek Luke, Jay Hernandez, Lucas Black, Tim McGRaw.
Claimed to be one of the greatest high school movies of all time, Friday Night Lights follows Permian High School's football team (the Permian Panthers) and the pressures they cope with, from high school and family drama to the high expectations from their Odessa fanbase.
BIG FISH
dir. Tim Burton, 2003. Cast: Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Helena Bonham Carter, Billy Crudup, Danny DeVito, Matthew McGrory, Jessica Lange, Alison Lohman, Robert Guillaume, Marion Cotillard, Steve Buscemi.
Fantasy, comedy, drama, romance - Big Fish has it all with the dark essence of Tim Burton's signature style. Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor/Albert Finney) encounters a variety of quirky characters throughout his life and, while on his deathbed, recounts his most impactful life stories to his son Will (Billy Crudup) and daughter-in-law Josephine (Marion Cotillard). Will is ever skeptical of his father's tales and tries to determine the truth beneath them. As Edward tells Will his life story, flashbacks of young Edward show his experiences with love at first sight, earning the key to a city, the neighborhood witch who tells him how and when he will die, and other seemingly exaggerated tall tales.
Tickets are $7 per person. For tickets and more information, visit warnertheatre.org or call the Box Office at 860-489-7180.
