“The Goonies” @ 7th Street Theatre
May 29 @ 7:30 pm
"The Goonies" @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

“The Goonies” is based on a Spielberg short story, and offers his wild action sequences and fast pacing, made memorable by the enthusiastic and energetic performances of the young cast that populates this adventure. It’s a fantastical take on a traditional tale of buried pirate treasure, told with a slice-of-life approach that has these kids using real-life teenage dialogue, something still not heard much in films back in 1985.

The cast includes some young actors who would later grow into sizeable roles: Sean Astin, who later played Samwise Gamgee in the “Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy, Josh Brolin, whose dozens of credits include President George W. Bush in “W,” and Martha Plimpton, who has starred in TV’s “Raising Hope” since 2010. Several familiar characters round out the cast: heavies Robert Davi and Joe Pantoliano, pro footballer John Matuszak and Anne Ramsey, famous for “Throw Mama From the Train.” Most of the film was shot in Astoria, OR, and nearby Cannon Beach.

Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. show.

Advance tickets are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com and at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen.
