Hamilton & District Extend-A-Family spent one rainy night last week at the movies. We usually take in a film at The Movie Palace, on Concession St., here in Hamilton. We love the flickering lanterns, the great old benches with cushions and tables for our treats, and the theatre's reasonable rates! It was the opening night of Astro-Boy.
I think it's fair to say that everyone -- children, teens, volunteers, and staff members -- really enjoyed this film. The movie celebrates family, friendship, generosity, and the special gifts that each one of us has. It's a feel-good movie about a kid who doesn't feel like he fits in, but who manages to find his way in the world and touch many lives in the process.
