The weekend of July3, 2009 - July 5, 2009 we are happy to be presenting Up, from Disney/Pixar.

Carl Fredricksen has always wanted to see the wilds of South America. When he is 78 years old, he finally decides to fulfill his dream - by tying thousands of balloons to his home and taking off.

It isn't until he leaves that he finds out he isn't alone. Russell, an 8 year old Wilderness Explorer, was on his front porch.

Together, they embark in an adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain and a rare bird named Kevin.

I'm happy to say that our equipment problem is fixed, so this weekend we will return to our regularly scheduled presentation.

The weekend of June 26, 2009 - June 28, 2009 we will be showing Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.

It's two years since the events of Night at the Museum and the American Museum of Natural History is closed for renovations and pieces are being moved to the Smithsonian. Exceptions include good Pharoah Ahkmenrah and his tablet, without which the pieces will no longer be able to be animated.

On the last night of the museum's opening Larry Daley (played by Ben Stiller) finds out the tablet has been stolen and taken to the Smithsonian, where pieces, including the evil Pharaoh Kahmunrah, are animated and locked in a battle for the museum. Larry goes to Washington to retrieve the tablet and rectify the chaos that has resulted.

Due to an equipment failure, we regret to announce the Ambridge Family Theatre will be closed Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21. A board fried in the lamphouse during the last show Friday evening.

We will be making every effort to have the problem repaired during the coming week, and hope to be showing Night at the Museum the weekend of June 26 - June 28, 2009.

Thank you for your support and patience.

The weekend of June 19, 2009 - June 21, 2009 we will be showing Earth, narrated by James Earl Jones.

Earth tells the story of three animal families and their journeys across the planet we call home. Earth captures the most intimate moments of some of our planet's most elusive and wildest animals as it follows their struggle for survival through a year of their lives, and shows the delicate balance between life and death.

The weekend of June 12, 2009 - June 14, 2009 we will be showing The Soloist, starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Jamie Foxx.

Steve Lopez is a reporter. He hasn't had a good story in a while, and the newspaper he works for is laying off journalists.

One day he happens upon Nathaniel Ayers, a former Juilliard student who is homeless, mentally ill, and living on the streets with his cello with only two strings.

The two become friends, but is that enough to help either?
