Looking for a great family activity tonite, because it’s the last chance to see a great film under a starry Whistler night sky.

Micmacs, by director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelle). Wednesday, August 18 is your last chance for the lakeside, Whistler-style dinner and a movie this season. The film is PG rated so families are welcome. BBQ and music begin at 8:30PM; film begins at sundown (9:30PM). A FREE shuttle by Ziptrek Ecotours brings movie-goers from the gondolas to Lost Lake from 8:30 to 10:00PM, and returns after the event. Entry is $7. BBQ + a drink is $5, Jiffy Pop popcorn is $3.

First it was a mine that exploded in the middle of the Moroccan desert. Years later, it was a stray bullet that lodged in his brain… Bazil doesn’t have much luck with weapons. The first made him an orphan, the second holds him on the brink of sudden, instant death.

Released from the hospital after his accident, Bazil is homeless. Luckily, our inspired and gentle-natured dreamer is quickly taken in by a motley crew of junkyard dealers living in a veritable Ali Baba’s cave. The group’s talents and aspirations are as surprising as they are diverse: Remington, Calculator, Buster, Slammer, Elastic Girl, Tiny Pete and Mama Chow.

Then one day, walking by two huge buildings, Bazil recognizes the logos of the weapons manufacturers that caused all of his misfortune. He sets out to take revenge, with the help of his faithful gang of wacky friends. Underdogs battling heartless industrial giants, our gang relive the battle of David and Goliath, with all the imagination and fantasy of Buster Keaton.
