Feel the Serenity at Coolidge Corner

060307_serenity.jpg

Serenity will screen at midnight on Saturday, June 23. Proceeds go to Equality Now, and the Coolidge will be accepting food for the Greater Boston Food Bank. Tickets are $10.

Joss Whedon fans will have chance to rejoice thanks to Coolidge Corner's midnight screening of Serenity, the full-length movie born after the 2002 cancellation of Whedon's short-lived but much-loved show "Firefly."

The screening is on Whedon's birthday and will benefit his charity of choice, but people who don't know Whedon from a hole in a wall will have a good time. Even if you never watched the Whedon-created cult shows "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or "Firefly," Serenity has a surprising amount of dry humor combined with its nonstop action.

Nathan Fillion (Slither, Waitress) is the leader of a crew of space rebels who is none too thrilled to find a surprise on his ship. Chiwetel Ejiofor also stars as the bad guy who will stop at nothing to get his hands on that surprise.

I'm actually going to this event in Raleigh, NC tonight! And noone thought we had culture down here. I hadn't ever seen Firefly until a few weeks ago when my friend loaned me the DVD box set to prepare for this event. I got sick a few days later and watched the entire series in two days! I just hope the people in costumes don't talk and yell at the screen so much that I can't hear!
