“The shift is about to hit the fan.” The movie documentary “I Am“ will be shown at the Kiggins Theatre Downtown Vancouver (1011 Main Street, Vancouver) at 7 pm on Monday, January 16 and Tuesday, January 17, 2012; admission is FREE!

“I AM is an utterly engaging and entertaining non-fiction film that poses two practical and provocative questions: what’s wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better? The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as “Ace Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” “The Nutty Professor,” and “Bruce Almighty.” However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.” ~ I AM

The Kiggins Theatre, named after former Vancouver Mayor JP Kiggins and a downtown landmark since 1936, reopened in 2011 after a year and a half of extensive renovations. They offer not only movies, but community events, art and music are also an integral part of the Kiggins schedule in the heart of downtown Vancouver.

It’s Friday night. Wanna catch a movie? Meet up with friends? Don’t want to spend a ton of money on either? Lucky for you (and me) there are several locations around Clark County that are offering free Friday night movies on the lawn.

The Vancouver Farmer’s Market, downtown Vancouver at Esther Short Park offers free movies Friday nights beginning at dusk. Brink your own blankets or chairs and enjoy some snacks; fresh squeezed lemonade, Kilauea Hawaiian Shaved Ice, or Double Dip Ice Cream Cart. Show up a bit early and enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes of Friday Night at Vancouver Farmer’s Market. July 30th movie is The Blind Side.

Want to enjoy some wine with your movie? The Rusty Grape Vineyard in Battle Ground opens up their vineyard for movies on the lawn. The movies start at dusk, but the wine tasting room opens at noon; and tastings are complementary. Feel free to buy a bottle to enjoy during the movie, bring a picnic or pizza, kick back and relax! July 30th movie is Airplane.

LeRoy Haagen Memorial Park also shows free Friday night movies, presented by Dr. Bonnie Lund, DDS and the Port of Portland. This 30 acre neighborhood park is located between the Hearthwood and Fircrest neighborhoods. Bring the kids early and let them play on the play structure, shoot some hoops,  or run around the track, then settle down and watch a family movie. July 30th movie is The Blind Side.
