(DLA Las Piñas GS LRC) Film Showing of the Week - The Spiderwick Chronicles


Unfortunately, classes were cancelled due to the awful weather last Friday so no film showing! However, we're going to fix that and try to cheer you up with this week's movie, a 2008 fantasy adaptation of Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi's award-winning children's series of the same name.

It chronicles the adventures of the Grace children, twins Simon and Jared and their older sister Mallory, after they move into Spiderwick Estate and discover a world of faeries that they never knew existed. Just the same, the vivid feature film is set in the Estate at New England, United States.

It's a refreshing and exciting take on storytelling as we follow the adventures of Jared and his family upon discovering a field guide to faeries, meet an Ogre, mole trolls and other magical creatures. It was directed by Mark Waters whose impressive work include but don't limit to Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and Mr. Popper's Penguins.

Fans of the best-selling books should definitely come and see this big-screen adaptation. Halloween may all be over and you may have tossed your tacky costumes out but what's a little scary involving a couple of goblins and bloody scratches in some thrilling action? Be sure to join us on this week's wicked Fri-date, and go drag your friends too!

For questions, suggestions, and other concers, don't hesitate to approach any of the available staff and librarians. We'll be glad to be of any help! :)
