At the Liberty: "GOAT"

“GOAT”

February 27, March 1 & 3

DAYTON — From Sony Pictures Animation comes “GOAT,” an original action-comedy set in an all-animal world. The story follows Will, a small goat with big dreams, who gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to play with the pros in roarball. The game is dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world. Will’s new teammates aren’t thrilled to have a little goat on their roster. Will is determined to revolutionize the sport and prove “smalls can ball!”

The critics on RottenTomatoes.com said that “Goat” sports a terrific voice cast, nifty animation, and a solid moral for youngsters. The RT audience rated “Goat” with a 93% approval. One moviegoer wrote, “Genuinely such a great movie. Sony Animation never disappoints. Great variety of characters and personalities, a beautiful world, entertaining, funny, I can’t wait to watch it again.” Rated PG for some rude humor and brief mild language, and has a runtime of 93 minutes.

This Saturday, February 28, the Liberty Theater will present the ski movie “Pressure Drop” from Teton Gravity Research. The doors will open at 5:15 p.m., and the movie will start at 6 p.m. The event is a fundraiser for the non-profit youth program, Bluewood Ski and Snowboard Team.

Before the screening of “Pressure Drop’, the theater will show “Lunch”, a short film by Jared Farley, who grew up in Waitsburg. Enjoy a beer from Buckwheat Brewing Co. and door prizes from Dayton businesses.

“Pressure Drop” is the latest chapter in a 30-year journey—forged from a dream, fueled with cash from commercial fishing in Alaska, and driven by an obsession with life on the edge. This film follows the world’s best skiers and snowboarders, alongside the next generation, through Alaskan spines, stacked pillow lines, massive cliffs, giant couloirs, deep powder, and insane jumps. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at libertytheater.org or at the Box Office on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2 to 5 p.m. There will be a limited number of tickets at the door.

“Train Dreams” is coming from March 6 to 10. The fictional story of a logger and railroad worker from Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho, who is part of the workforce that built the great railroads of early 20th-century America. “Train Dreams” is nominated for four Academy Awards, shot in Washington. Many of the movie’s extras were from the Spokane and Tekoa area.

Upcoming Movies: “Goat” on February 27, March 1 & 3, “Pressure Drop” on Saturday, February 28 at 6 p.m., “Train Dreams” on March 6-10, and “I Can Only Imagine 2” on March 13-17. Schedule subject to change.
