6/4/2008 Update:
The schedule has changed a bit since the February announcement, and the summer movie series on the water begins next week. But hey, along with a bigger screen, the July 4th Weekend now has a movie (on the 2nd)!
Bigger Screen coming to Pier A
The free “Movies Under the Stars” outdoor movies series on Pier A Park in Hoboken will get a boost in its projection surface to two-stories high, this year, with the participation of Fresh Air Flicks, a Brooklyn-based company lending its outdoor high-definition projector, bigger screen and enhanced sound equipment and services. Scheduled to begin Wednesday, June 11th at dusk, this year’s series will open with Charlie Wilson’s War, Tom Hanks’ 2007 portrayal of a womanizing United States Congressman who uses his power to help Afghan rebels defeat Soviet soldiers who invaded their country. The series ends August 27th with an animated story about a champion surfer who happens to be a penguin.
See updated schedule below…

Does anyone know if you are allowed to bring wine to this? Do they enforce open container rules? Thanks!

are dogs allowed on this grass? is there pet feces and urine all over the grass?
26. FitGuy | July 14th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
The grass is clean. No dogs aren’t allowed in the park. Keep the dog in your livingroom and let him pee on your floor while you watch Netflix!

Many Dogs were on the grass during the movie Atonement.Why do owners think the rules do not apply to them. Not everyopne likes dogs and some are afraid of them. They smell, bark and try to get into your food. We do not want to smell urine or feces while we are trying to enjoy the movie. Try to consider others, take a hint and follow the rules.

I was wondering if dogs were the target audience of Atonement.
If I go again, I’m bringing a thermos of margarita & ice. As for the question of mosquitoes, I’ve never been bit. And mosquitoes LOVE me.

Thank you Hoboken for being such a wonderful audience at “The Movies Under the Stars, 2008.” This was our first year working with The City of Hoboken Cultural Affairs Department to provide the technical services for the outdoor movie series. We hope you enjoyed the new screen, projection and sound. Many of you approached us with compliments and advice on how to improve the show and the concessions. Kudos to The City of Hoboken for putting on such a great event in such a great location. We projected over 200 outdoor movies this year in and around NYC, and Hoboken is definitely one of the best outdoor movie watching experience in the area. We hope to return again next year.

We’ve talked about it extensively and would love to do it. But the wall would need to be re-painted and as Easy-E pointed out, the projector requred to shoot a large image across that distance would be very, very expensive. But we’ll keep working on it.
Thanks again everyone. Hope to see you next year.
