Library Hosts Free Movie Matinee
STORY TOOLS 
More from Conejo ValleyThousand Oaks Library is hosting a Free Movie Matinee of the film, The Astronaut Farmer, at 1 p.m. on Monday, January 14, 2008, at the Grant R. Brimhall Library Community Room, 1401 E. Janss Road.
The Astronaut Farmer stars Billy Bob Thornton, Bruce Willis and Virginia Madsen. Texan Charles Farmer (Thornton) left the Air Force as a young man to save the family ranch when his dad died. Like most American ranchers, he owes his bank. Unlike most, he's an astrophysicist with a rocket in his barn - one he's built and wants to take into space. It's his dream. The FBI puts him under surveillance when he tries to buy rocket fuel; the FAA stalls him when he files a flight plan - it's post-9/11, after all. His wife is angry when she finds out their bank is initiating foreclosure. Charlie fears failure and decides, precipitously, to launch.
This 2007 movie, rated PG, and is sponsored by the Friends of the Thousand Oaks Library. For more information contact the Library at 449-2660, ext. 258 or visit www.toaks.org/library .
