    Just enough Corey Feldman, with strong Gene Kelly notes. An ample helping of claymation, with a smooth, bright Pacino bouquet. Could have used some Fred Astaire. 8/10

    What about Fork Union Drive Union Drive In? When do they start?

      There’s a drive-in around here?! Be still, my heart. The last drive-in back home closed only a few years ago and I was so sad to have seen it go the way of all good things… To an end. Where have those days gone!?

      The drive-in has a Facebook page and while the schedule isn’t posted on their yet, they recently posted that it would be soon. Fork Union Drive-In I’ve got lots of great memories from there and am hoping they have some good showings this year.

    I think this is a great idea. The prices have kept me out of the paramount so far, but i would pay $6 just to check out the theater, the movie is just gravy
