On Friday, Mike Perry rented out CineBistro in Hyde Park Village so that he and 96 of his friends, family and associates could watch the movie “Captain Phillips,” the Tom Hanks vehicle depicting the boarding of the merchant ship Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates.
For Perry, a Riverview resident, the movie was deeply personal.
He was on the ship when it was attacked off the coast of Somalia. Actor David Warshofsky plays him on the big screen.
