Movies at CocoWalk filling a void?
Many are talking advantage of CocoWalk's free movies on Friday nights. While the Muvico theater is under renovation, the free movies are shown out on the Plaza. Is it filling the movie void in Coconut Grove? A lot of people feel we need more movies, like all over town where one place could show silent movies, another could show westerns, another could show comedies, and so on.
Many people actually eat dinner and watch from their tables at CocoWalk, which is a cool thing and could work in various restaurants around town (especially if you aren't into much conversation with your dinner partner).
Tonight's movies are:
8 pm My Life In Ruins
Immerse yourself in this sunny, uplifting romantic comedy starring Oscar Nominee Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and Academy Award Winner Richard Dreyfuss.
10 pm Year One
Zed (Jack Black) and Oh (Michael Cera) are cavemen who stumble out of the mountains into an epic journey of biblical proportions from director Harold Ramis (Groundhog Day, Caddyshack, Analize This).

Good idea,Grape. Dinner with a movie. It works in Ft.Lauderdale Could give a shot in the arm for some of the restaurants.
Pretty sure the bar underneath Fat Tuesday's seeing some business as a result.
Every time I walk by and see a movie on, there's got to be at least a couple tired out tourist dads enjoying a beer and a sit-down while the kids watch the film.
It's certainly a good thing - the more diversions the better. Always loved our statuesque angel. Back in the day the techno spray paint art kid always drew a crowd. Street attractions draw people, and that's obviously good for the Grove.
*more* movies probably aren't necessary, but I would definitely welcome another movie night at Peacock Park with the big screen. (Picnicing and watching "It's a Wonderful Life" that way a few Christmases ago ranks up there as one of the most fun and memorable community outings I've had.)
Thanks for posting our movies Grape!
Thanks!

When are the real movies coming back?
The quicker the better. Speed is really important here
