Affordable Summer Fun: Movies on the Block 2015 Schedule

Movies on the Block, Providence's only outdoor movie theatre, returns in June to kick off it's ninth season.  And now, they have announced their lineup of great films to be shown at Westminster Street's Grant's Block.

"Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon. We may ask what is relevant but anything beyond that is dangerous. He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don't listen to him. Remember that - do not listen."
