Some upcoming entertainment:

• Crescent Theater
  • TimeCrimes, through March 19th - Lauded short film director Nacho Vilalondo makes his feature debut with this tense, unstoppable vision of science and natural law gone awry. A man accidentally travels back into the past and meets himself. A naked girl in the middle of the forest. A mysterious stranger with his face wrapped in a pink bandage. A disquieting mansion on the top of a hill. All of them are pieces of an unpredictable jigsaw puzzle where terror, drama and suspense will lead to an unthinkable crime.
  • FanBoys, March 20-26th - Set in 1998, FanBoys is the story of a group of friends who, eager for the premiere of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - and because one of them is suffering from cancer and wishes to see the film before his death, decide to break into Skywalker Ranch and steal an early print of the film. They travel across the country and on their way they encounter William Shatner, obsessed Trekkies, and bikers who make them undress for water.

Although many exhibits across the country are noting a drop in attendance, the state-of-the-art health exhibit, My BodyWorks, has proven to be an overwhelming success. In the opening weekend, more than 4,000 people visited the exhibit, presented by Mobile Infirmary Health Systems and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama.

The impressive turn out can be attributed to a new "stimulus package," making the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center more affordable than ever. In light of the current economic state, the Exploreum has significantly lowered ticket prices. You will find a savings of more than $10 per ticket. For example, in 2008 an adult combo ticket was $25. Now, for only $14, you can get a combo ticket which includes admission into the Exploreum as well as an IMAX film.

Don't forget to sign up for your membership package to the Exploreum! With more savings than ever, a membership includes free admission to the entire Exploreum, discounts on IMAX tickets, and 20% off of birthday parties, gift shop purchases, camp registrations and café items.
