Johnny Depp comes to HBPL
Welcome to the latest blog that is being offered by the Huntington
Beach Public Library. We have a Music Blog so why not a Film Blog! In
the coming months I hope to highlight DVD's and videos in our
collection, hopefully making you aware of the world of film outside
the big blockbusters. That will be the main purpose of this blog but
you never know what cinematic wonder may find its way to this film
blogospere!
If you haven't heard, starting in May the library will be having a
film program highlighting some of the "non-pirate" films of Johnny
Depp. The event will be in Room C and D, which are down by the Library
Theatre. Below is the blurb we have been using to promote this
program:
Does the name Johnny Depp only conjure up images of "Captain Jack
Sparrow"? If so, the new film program at the Central Library might
just be the education you need! Starting May 12th at 2pm, the film
program:
"Not Just a Pirate: The Films of Johnny Depp" will begin our journey
in discovering the many talents, beyond piracy, of this amazing actor.
Each program will include a brief opening talk about the actor and the
film, a short trivia quiz for prizes and then on to the main event!!
On May 12th we start with the film, Benny and Joon (rated PG). This
1993 film stars Johnny Depp (of course), Mary Stuart Masterson and
Aidan Quinn. It is a poignant tale of Benny (Aidan Quinn), his
schizophrenic sister, Joon (Mary Stuart Masterson) and the visitor
(Johnny Depp) that comes between them.
The program continues on June 23rd with What's Eating Gilbert Grape
(rated PG-13), on July 14th with Ed Wood (rated R) and finally on
August 18th we will be screening Finding Neverland. (rated PG). Come
join us for an afternoon of film-tastic adventure!!
