Summer Kid Series
The 2012 series at Carmike James Island 8, 1743 Central Park Road, comes to a close at 10 a.m. Thursday.
The final film?
“Megamind,” which pits funny man Will Ferrell against the hunky Brad Pitt. And believe it or not, Ferrell comes out on top.
Bear with me. I’ll explain.
After super-villain Megamind (Ferrell) kills his good-guy nemesis, Metro Man (Pitt), he becomes bored. He creates a new foe, Titan (Jonah Hill), to have someone to fight with, but instead of using his powers for good, Titan sets out to destroy the world. This fun flip positions Megamind to save the day for the first time in his life. Tina Fey and Ben Stiller also are part of this all-star voice cast.
Tickets to the movie cost $2 and include a drink and popcorn if you so desire. For more info, call 762-4904.
