DOUBLE FEATURE

STEVEN SPIELBERG

As we await Spielberg’s excellent and touching film THE FABELMANS next weekend in theatres, let’s take note of his incredible talent to make high-quality entertainments that are both popular and excellent. 

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

Frank Abagnale, Jr. worked as a doctor, a lawyer, and as a co-pilot for a major airline — all before his 18th birthday. A master of deception, he was also a brilliant forger, whose skill gave him his first real claim to fame: At the age of 17, Frank Abagnale, Jr. became the most successful bank robber in the history of the U.S. FBI Agent Carl Hanratty makes it his prime mission to capture Frank and bring him to justice, but Frank is always one step ahead of him.

Dockworker Ray Ferrier struggles to build a positive relationship with his two children, Rachel and Robbie. When his ex-wife, Mary Ann, drops them off at Ferrier’s house, it seems as though it will be just another tension-filled weekend. However, when electromagnetic pulses of lightning strike the area, the strange event turns out to be the beginning of an alien invasion, and Ferrier must now protect his children as they seek refuge.
