The Pearl Theater, along with the Bonners Ferry
Chamber of Commerce and the Bonners Ferry
Rotary, are sponsoring a free movie Saturday,
and it’s a take on the golden days when the Rex
Theater used to offer a free holiday movie each
year.
It's a great time for the parents of older kids
or, as one parent must accompany children under
10, for the other parent to sneak away to some
of Boundary County's wonderful shops or stores
to get some Christmas shopping done!
The Pearl, with help from the Chamber, are
working together to host occasional movie
nights, and as soon as we get details, we'll
share the news!
Elf is a 2003 American Christmas fantasy comedy
film directed by Jon Favreau and written by
David Berenbaum. It stars Will Ferrell, James
Caan, Zooey Deschanel, Mary Steenburgen, Daniel
Tay, Edward Asner and Bob Newhart.
The story is about one of Santa's elves
(Ferrell) who learns he is actually a human and
goes to New York City to meet his biological
father (Caan), spreading Christmas cheer in a
world of cynics as he goes.
The film was released in the United States on
November 7, 2003, by New Line Cinema. It
received positive reviews from critics and
inspired the 2010 Broadway musical "Elf: The
Musical" and NBC's 2014 stop-motion animated
television special "Elf: Buddy's Musical
Christmas." It is often cited as one of the best
Christmas films.
The Pearl Theater doors open at 12:30 p.m.
Saturday and "elf," which lasts an hour and 37
minutes, starts at 1 p.m. The Pearl Theater is
located at 7160 Ash Street, Bonners Ferry, just
across the tracks and under the overpass from
all the fine shopping downtown and throughout
Boundary County!
Kids 10 and under must be accompanied by an
adult.
For Saturday's matinee, Rotary is paying for the
movie and the Chamber is providing children
gifts of books, candy canes and “cutie” oranges
paid for by the Boundary County Library,
Riverside Auto Center and Boundary Abstract. |
