6/25/11 - Iron Man 2 (Rain Date: 7/3/11)The Firefighters Field location is a nice venue for outdoor movies and certainly convenient to get to but the Southpoint Park location where Roosevelt Island movies were originally shown was a fantastic site for watching outdoor movies and enjoying the NYC skyline and waterfront views.

7/23/11 - Star Trek (Rain Date: 7/31/11)

Southpoint Park is currently closed while the Wild Gardens/Green Room section of the Park on the north end and the Kahn/FDR Memorial Boondoggle on the south end are being built.
Wild Gardens/Green Rooms is scheduled to open this summer in July and Kahn/FDR in a couple of years.
Here's the recent state of construction for the Death Box/Mausoleum portion of the Kahn/FDR Memorial at the southern tip of Southpoint Park which blocks and destroys this previous great panoramic NYC skyline and waterfront view from Southpoint Park.
More pictures of the Kahn/FDR Memorial Boondoggle construction here and here as well as this image of what the area used to look like before construction on this waste of tens of millions of taxpayers dollars (and some private donations) began.
