"Mr. Destiny" Kicks Off the FOLA Movie Schedule for 2023
FOLA will screen Mr. Destiny on Saturday April 15 at 7 PM in the Heald Auditorium of the Ludlow Town Hall. This kicks off FOLA's 2023 movie schedule that will continue in May with the movie musicals "Show Boat" on Saturday May 20 and the perennial classic "Grease" on Saturday May 27. Jim Belushi stars in this poignant and funny exploration of what if when Lawrence Joseph "Larry/L.J." Burrows finds himself in alternate reality where he didn't strike out in the baseball championship game when he was fifteen. The 1990s movie also features Linda Hamilton, Jon Lovitz, Hart Bochner, and Michael Caine. The movie starts out on Larry's 35th birthday. The family station wagon stalls out and he heads into a local bar to call for a tow truck. The bar tender, Mike, played by Michael Caine, is Larry's guardian angel, so Mike serves up a special cocktail so that his wish comes true. Larry wishes that he had hit the home run and not struck back when he was fifteen. Larry then experiences a very different life, which leads him to ponder what he really values in life. "Mr. Destiny" will be shown on the big screen in the Heald Auditorium located on the second floor of the Ludlow Town Hall on Saturday April 15th starting at 7:00 pm. The screening will run approximately two hours. The United Church of Ludlow provides the water. Admission is free to all. Donations always are welcome and help us to provide quality offerings for the enjoyment of Ludlow-area folks. We hope to see you in the auditorium on April 15th. |
