Celestian candleholders

E.T. film
Our space movie Thursdays conclude on Aug. 15 at 6:30 p.m. with an epic film: “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.” A lonely boy befriends a homesick alien stranded on Earth and attempts to help him find his way home, while a group of government scientists attempt to capture the gentle visitor for research. Serving double duty as both an exciting sci-fi adventure and a poignant portrait of childhood, Steven Spielberg’s remarkable tale is an enduring slice of movie magic for all ages. Rated PG; popcorn will be served.
