This weekend you’ll have an opportunity to do some cheering of your own as the summer season of movies kicks off in San Anselmo with two films that highlight Bay Area locales. Star Trek Into Darkness airs on Friday, and anyone who’s already seen the film can tell you that the crew of the Starship Enterprise spend at least half their screen time in futuristic San Francisco. Saturday’s screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark comes with its own set of hometown starlets –– college scenes were filmed at Dominican University and the home exteriors were filmed in San Rafael. So arrive early, spread out a blanket, picnic prior to the show and get ready to cheer for home.
