New Moon
Since New Moon officially starts on Friday night (November 20th), I thought that I should probably blog about it. This is the newest trailer that has been released... Does it seem to anybody else to be very Edward-heavy?
Sweet Valley High
One of my favorite series from my youth is back! Diablo Cody, the screenwriter behind the teen films Juno and the recent slasher film Jennifer's Body has been hired to adapt Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley High series for the big screen.No Kidding, Me Too!
The Westport Teen Awareness Group is offering a free screening of the documentary No Kidding, Me Too! on Tuesday, April 28th at 7PM in the Staples Auditorium. There is no admission fee and seating is on a first-come basis. The documentary was produced and created by Emmy Award winning actor and Wilton resident, Joey Pantoliano.The Haunting in Connecticut
Last weekend when I went to the movies, I saw super-long lines for The Haunting in Connecticut. I figured that the film was popular just because, well, we were IN Connecticut, but little did I know that it was actually the #2 movie in the country. I also didn't know that it was based on a true story.Where The Wild Things Are
The Full Burn
This Tuesday, September 9th, Kevin Conley will be speaking here at the Library. Conley is a journalist and author of the new book The Full Burn: On the Set, at the Bar, Behind the Wheel and Over the Edge With Hollywood Stuntmen.
The Brooklyn Book Festival
The 2008 Brooklyn Book Festival is taking place on Sunday, Sept 14th at the Brooklyn Borough Hall & Plaza. I didn't go last year because I didn't know that the Festival also welcomed YA authors. This year has a great lineup!
TeenFlix
Every Monday night in August, the Westport Youth Commission and Toquet Hall are presenting TeenFlix at the Levitt Pavilion. Showings start at 8:30PM. The schedule is as follows:
Twilight Trailer
A "teaser" trailer has been released for the upcoming film adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight. December seems so far away right now...
OMG! NEW WES ANDERSON MOVIE!!!
I AM SO EXCITED!!!!
The Hours
Come join us on Monday evening from 4-8 as we discuss Michael Cunningham's novel The Hours and watch the film starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore. Enjoy pizza and refreshments and take this opportunity to help select the next title for the new Westport Library Teen Book Club. E-mail me if you have any questions.
MovieLine
Did you know that the Library is going to start showing new films in the McManus Room? If there's a movie that you missed in the theater, this is your chance to catch it for free!
Golden Globes
The Golden Globes were on last night and although I didn't end up watching them (I Love New York was on- cut me some slack!) I did notice that Sacha Baron Cohen won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture- Musical or Comedy.
Librarians in the Movies
TNT is showing a movie called The Librarian tonight and of course, I'm going to watch it. Not because I think Noah Wyle is a cool guy, but because there are so few movies about librarians that I feel obligated.
Diggin' on DVDs
Did you know that the library has DVDs? The AV department is located on the lower level and is giving your neighborhood rental chain a run for it's money. In addition to buying all the usual "library" stuff (eg. PBS specials, kids' movies, educational things), we buy fun things too!
