In July filmgoers will be able to rock Yasgur’s farm, fall in love in India, fight the power, boldly go where no man has gone before, and soar over rooftops as the 2009 Coca~Cola Summer Film Festival kicks off at the Fox Theatre... The festival will celebrate the 20th anniversary of "Do the Right Thing" with a special pre show VIP event sponsored by the Atlanta Film Festival, a red carpet entrance and a post-show discussion with the film’s director, Spike Lee, and some of the stars of the film, on Saturday, July 11th... I will not be able to attend due to prior commitments but YOU should go!! This is my favorite summer film fest... Considering the current heatwave and economy, the 2009 Coca-Cola Summer Film Festival at the Fox Theatre could prove as popular as ever this year. Yeah the summer festival is getting a bit of a late start this year, due to Fox’s rather full plate this month, hosting popular engagements of both “Jersey Boys and “Thomas and Friends.” Hopefully this year we can all sync up our schedules and meet up for some fun!!! Why is it so fun? Well let me break it down in detail... First The Coca Cola Summer Film Festival is presented on the biggest screen in Atlanta at the Fabulous Fox Theatre! You haven't seen a movie until you have seen it at the Fox Theatre. Come early for Wine Tastings* and a magical pre-show including a sing-along with the Mighty Mo organ and a vintage cartoon...
