Coligny Theatre

Hi all,

Coligny theatre on the south end of the Island has started running free movies for kids on Saturday mornings at 11 am. What a wonderful idea!

Rosie & Andre

Saturday, July 26, 11 am Alvin and The Chipmunks Rated PG, 91 minutes Synopsis This live-action/computer-animated update of Ross Bagdasarian's squeaky-voiced cartoon characters finds the chipmunks (in CGI form) transported from their woodland habitat to the city, where they wind up in the home of Dave Seville (Jason Lee). Dave, a down-on-his-luck songwriter, realizes the potential of a singing chipmunk pop act, and becomes an unlikely mentor/father figure to feisty Alvin, brainy Simon, and dopey Theodore. Meanwhile, the threesome causes chaos in his life, leading to plenty of fun, frenetic scenarios. When a devious record executive (David Cross) enters the picture, however, Alvin and the Chipmunks must deal with both the trappings of fame and their loyalty to the amiable, hapless Dave. Directed by Tim Hill (GARFIELD: A TALE OF TWO KITTIES), ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS simultaneously modernizes and pays tribute to the classic title characters, who first appeared in the late 1950s and became wildly popular in the '60s. While Lee (MY NAME IS EARL) is well cast as the perpetually exasperated Dave, Long (LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD) steals the show as the voice of Alvin, who provides the group's lively spirit. Though some older viewers may wince at the prospect of their beloved Chipmunks rapping, the movie is generally respectful of the franchise's long legacy, and will easily win over a younger generation.

Family Friendly Dining

Here is a terrific article on some family friendly restaurants on Hilton Head, as well as some good advice on how to make dining out with kids a little easier! Article.

Featured Golf Course of the Week

The Lowcountry’s premier public course selected by Golf Digest as one of the “top ten new public courses of 1992. Old South has truly become a favorite of golfers visiting the Hilton Head area and features towering live oaks, rolling Scottish terrain and magnificent views from island greens. Designed by award winning course architect, Clyde Johnston, Old South Golf Links is a tribute to man working within nature’s fragile guidelines. Not only did Johnston preserve the natural beauty of the land, his design allows golfers to experience up close the uniqueness of the site, it’s natural amenities and spectacular views. As Johnston himself so aptly put it, “the variety of the setting from oak forest to open pasture to tidal salt marsh provided an opportunity to vary the design elements and strategy of play.”
