It’s really great to see Ferguson library’s Main Branch being renovated. This type of change sure feels like the best kind, you know? But the welcome transformation of our familiar surroundings also brings with it a bit of a problem. That is, with no auditorium available for almost 6 months, where oh where can we hold our film programs that our patrons have come to know and love? Well, the simple and wonderful answer is Jeremy Richard Library at UCONN Stamford. Over the last year, this “sister” library located just down the street a bit from Ferguson’s MAIN Branch has provided us with a “place” to continue to please our resident film buffs. Great. Last fall “Our World of Film” program successfully began our “co-host’ relationship with Jeremy Richard. Over 200 intrepid souls made their way to the UCONN campus to enjoy the opportunity to view 4 award -winning films…….and it didn’t stop there. April debuted such Oscar worthy films as “Crazy Heart”, “Blindside”, “An Education” and “Precious”. Not bad… and equally well-attended, too. This past Saturday, Martin Scorsese’s thrilling “Shutter Island” attracted an enthusiastic crowd of 40. “Avatar” is on tap for this coming Thursday night. More great movies are planned for July and our August dates at UCONN have just been approved…..Yeah! Watch for our flyers. More later, caucella
That is a great solution to a huge problem……….. Glad to see they worked out their cut back problem by shorter hours instead of closing a branch or two.
I saw shutter island when it came out, no disappointment there. Pretty close to hitchcock for sure. And that kid has really come along ways even from Titanic.
Mr. M, I really enjoyed “Shutter Island’. The acting was very effective….and the things that go bump in the night always work their magic. caucella
Well Ms. C…………. I just watched the boondock saints last weekend. I have to say I thought it was well done and William Dafoe is excellent. And now I’m looking to see the newest boondock all saints day already on dvd……… It’s done pretty much like Pulp Fiction was and had it’s funny moments along with the very violent scenes. We should turn the two of them loose on the two cheshire killers who are enjoying their third year in jail awaiting a trial. Enjoy a safe 4th…………..

Hey, Mr. Matt, Ive heard good things about that film so I’m not surprised you liked it. Dafoe is always good….if a little creepy for me. LOL. Too bad life Is not a movie. Unfortunately we can’t turn anybody loose on anybody…… You enjoy your holiday, OK? later, C
