FAMILY PICTURES presents THE BLACK STALLION



This is definitely a last-minute posting on my part, since the film being highlighted plays today at 2pm.  But, as I mentioned a while back, Carroll Ballard's 1979 adaptation of The Black Stallion was one of my favorite films as a kid.  And it's a movie that still stands up when viewing it with adult eyes; the storm sequence at the beginning is thrilling and more than a little bit frightening (but in a good, not gonna make anyone under the age of five begin weeping, kinda way).

Very highly recommended.






The Black Stallion plays today (6/2) at the Hollywood Theatre at 2pm.  More info available here.
