Movies & More - “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

This weekend, the theatre is showing two fantastic film selections, both of which are free, as always.

Starting at 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, we have “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl”, rated PG-13. In this 2003 fantasy adventure, blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow to save Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter, and his love from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead. The runtime is 2 hours and 23 minutes.

Our second film rounds out Peter Jackson’s Hobbit Trilogy with “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” showing Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. In this final chapter, Bilbo Baggins and company are forced to engage in a war against an array of combatants and keep the Lonely Mountain from falling into the hands of rising darkness. The runtime is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Next week, on Wednesday, June 26, The De Golyer Bucking Horse and Bull Bash is sponsoring a special event movie at 7 p.m.: “The Cowboy Way,” from 1994, starring Woody Harrelson and Kiefer Sutherland. This sponsored movie precedes De Golyer’s 10th annual event on June 29, so be sure to check it out. The film is rated PG-13 and runs 1 hour and 42 minutes.

On July 20, we’ll host Acid Box, a Fallon-local band that blends hard rock, heavy metal, and punk with a blues influence. They’ll be joined by additional local talent, Anabelle and the Desert Scrubs. Check them out at 7 p.m., with a $10 cover charge.

On August 24, don’t miss our annual summer fundraising 5K fun run/walk—The Cantaloupe Canter. This traditional event begins in front of the Indoor Pool, 333 Sheckler Rd, and helps celebrate the Fallon Cantaloupe Festival and Country Fair, which will be held August 23 through 25. Early registration and sponsorship forms can be found on our website.
