-Lisa and Chris

Friday Sept 19 - Thurs Sept 25
HAMLET 2  (R)   92min  6:00 and 8:15
This irreverent and infectiously entertaining comedy and Sundance hit stars Steve Coogan (24 Hour Party People) as a failed (due to lack of talent) actor turned still ambitious and passionate drama teacher who launches an overzealous quest to mount a high school musical.  His initial attempts unsuccessful and his department headed for downsizing, he conceives an extravagant sequel to Hamlet that is both politically incorrect and dramatically incredible.  But he will not be denied his freedom of expression, and with the backing of an ACLU lawyer (Amy Poehler) and his favorite actress (Elizabeth Shue, playing herself) he optimistically tarries forth with his opus.  Catherine Keener plays his long-suffering wife and David Arquette is their free-loading boarder. 

Friday Sept 19 - Mon Sept 22  
THE LAST MISTRESS  (NR)  114min  [in French with subtitles]   5:30 and 8:00
A notorious and penniless aristocrat (Fu�ad Ait Aattou) with a tempestuous Spanish mistress (Asia Argento) has found true love, or at least financial stability, as he is engaged to marry a rich young noblewoman (Roxane Mesquida).  When the girl�s protective grandmother decides he no longer needs the services of his alluring, exotic mistress, he dismisses her, but she will not go away easily.  This passionate, lush and elegant costume drama from French writer-director Catherine Breillat (Fat Girl) is based on a scandalous story by controversial 19th century writer Jules Barbey d�Aurevilly about the different choices allowed to men versus women in the hypocritical French courts and bedrooms.
 
Tues Sept 23 - Thurs Sept 25   back by popular demand
ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD (G)  99min   5:30 and 8:00
Eccentric people in extreme settings characterize most of master director Werner Herzog�s fiction and non-fiction films (Fitzcarraldo, Grizzly Man, Rescue Dawn).  He promises his provocative, hypnotic new documentary about Antarctica is not another �fluffy penguin� movie, and he almost keeps his promise, profiling with his dry wit some of the loners and visionaries who live and work at McMurdo Station during the austral summer, exploring the natural beauty and fascinating nature found at the bottom of the world both above and below the ice, and contemplating the world's destruction by man's hand.  His film is a visually stunning, unsentimental journey that examines human nature and Mother Nature, juxtaposing breathtaking locations with the profound, surreal and sometimes absurd experiences of this renegade community.
