MOVIE NIGHT: Sunday, March 29th

Film: I LOVE YOU, MAN

When: 1:15 PM (Movie starts at 1:40 PM, but if we want to sit together and order food we should get there earlier.)

Where: Studio Movie Grill – Arlington Highlands (I-20 & Matlock)

Tickets: Adults $6.75

Studio Movie Grill also offers a menu of burgers, pizzas, muchies, as well as beer/wine/full bar.

I Love You, Man (trailer): In I Love You, Man, a comedy from John Hamburg (Along Came Polly, co-writer of Meet The Parents, Meet The Fockers, Zoolander), Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd, Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin) is a successful real estate agent who, upon getting engaged to the woman of his dreams, Zooey, (The Office’s Rashida Jones), discovers, to his dismay and chagrin, that he has no male friend close enough to serve as his Best Man. Peter immediately sets out to rectify the situation, embarking on a series of bizarre and awkward man-dates, before meeting Sydney Fife (Jason Segel, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), a charming, opinionated man with whom he instantly bonds. But the closer the two men get, the more Peter’s relationship with Zooey suffers, ultimately forcing him to choose between his fiancée and his new found bro, in a story that comically explores what it truly means to be a friend.

MOVIE NIGHT: Thursday, March 19th

When: 7:00 PM (Movie starts at 7:50 PM, but if we want to sit together and order food we should get there earlier.)

Where: Studio Movie Grill – Arlington Highlands (I-20 & Matlock)

Slumdog Millionaire (trailer): Jamal Malik, a penniless eighteen year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, is one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, suddenly, he is arrested on suspicion of cheating. After all, how could an uneducated street kid possibly know so much? Determined to get to the bottom of Jamal’s story, the jaded Police Inspector spends the night probing Jamal’s incredible past, from his riveting tales of the slums where he and his brother Salim survived by their wits to his hair-raising encounters with local gangs to his heartbreak over Latika, the unforgettable girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of Jamal’s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show’s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out…
