Return of the Swamp Thing

The Return of the Swamp Thing

When: August 10, 8:30 p.m.
Where: Pier 1-Riverside Park South (475 Riverside Drive)

If Heather Locklear could love a man who is all vegetable and all ugly, maybe you have a chance. Witness her compassion in the sequel to the cult classic (which is itself something of a cult classic).

Scott Pilgrim

JP

Jurassic Park

When: August 10, 7:00 p.m.
Where: McCarren Park (780 Lorimer Street)

The adventure was 65 million years in the making but it'll only take the hipsters of McCarren Park a few moments to cast an ironic eye on Spielberg's masterpiece. Hold on to your butts. Smugly.

Rent

Rent 

When: August 11, 8:00 p.m.
Where: Cunningham Park (196 Street and Union Turnpike)

We've grown tired of Rent jokes. Go see it and make up your "Season of Love" jokes. You can't have ours anymore. 

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Breakfast at Tiffany's

When: August 11, 8:30 p.m.
Where: Pier 1-Riverside Park South (475 Riverside Drive)

Either this movie is a light romantic comedy where Audrey Hepburn looks adorable, or it is a vehicle for one of the most racist depictions of Asian-Americans in the Hollywood canon. Actually, it might be both. Find out for yourself.

 

Shrek Forever After

Shrek Forever After

When: August 12, 8:30 p.m.
Where: Pier 46-Hudson River Park (40 River Road)

How baller would it be if the last entry in the Shrek series didn't end happily ever after and all the kids left the screening crying?

Spider-Man

Spider-Man

When: August 13, 8:30 p.m.
Where: Bloomingdale Park, Staten Island

Andrew Garfield is coming for the crown, but let's not forget how well Tobey Maguire slung web in Sam Raimi's take on the webcrawler's origin story. Watch it and pretend that Spider-Man 3 never happened. The dude from Fall Out Boy directed that one, right?
