While discussing plans for MagicFest, Mayor Lance Clow, Chairmain of the MagicFest Committee, said, "When I was a kid, I remember Saturday mornings always started with a local matinee. The last thing that would happen on Friday nights is that I would ask my mom what was playing at the movie the next day.
"Those were the days. It was a simpler time, and a dream of mine for a long time has been to give those same simple pleasures to modern families. Now we have the opportunity to grow that dream."
Reminiscent of the weekend matinees from days gone past, the Historic Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Twin falls will be offering 50¢ movie matinees during the weekend of MagicFest. This special price is available for the MagicFest weekend only, and requires validated coupons to get in at the discounted rate. Be sure to arrive early as you might just get to see some magic in the lobby of the theatre!
The movie being featured is "Monster vs Aliens", a highly successful and popular film from Dreamworks Pictures. Rated PG for sci-fi action, some crude humor and mild language, it is 94 minutes long, making it an ideal-length film for children of all ages. Please note that the movie will NOT be shown in 3D.

About "Monsters vs Aliens"
When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President is persuaded by General W.R. Monger to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.
