Well, it’s time to get serious about this movie stuff! We have three straight weeks of discussions coming up in July, and the movies themselves, are (I think) all perfect for summer evenings.

Saturday morning, June 25, 2016. I deliver a bag of food to The Music Hall Historic Theater, watching in awe as throngs of people do the same: a mom and her teenaged son from Eliot, Maine, a young family arriving on bicycles, a local businessman with his SUV trunk full of packed groceries. It’s the second year that The Music Hall has partnered with the Seacoast Family Food Pantry to fill every seat in the hall with food for its Summer Meals 4 Kids program—and this year, it’s also the date of a Music Hall Community Open House with complimentary historic and tech tours of the 1878 theater, selfie photo ops up on stage, and a free afternoon family movie.Read More

Well, it finally happened yesterday, the official first day of summer and the longest day of the year. And that means that the New England race to pack as much gardening, drinks on the deck, beach time, lobster rolls, kayaking and other forms of merriment as humanly possible into about 10 weeks is in full swing. (It also means that the day will be getting shorter from now on, but I don’t want to depress anyone.)Read More
