UNDER OUR SKIN
  (NR)  104min  1:30pm
This dramatic exposé and gripping tale addresses one of the most serious epidemics of our times.  This eye-opening film investigates the untold story of Lyme disease, an emerging epidemic larger than AIDS.  Each year thousands go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, told that their symptoms are "all in their head." This award-winning documentary is unrated, but serious in content.  It is being shared to raise community awareness about Lyme disease and as a benefit for single Bar Harbor mom Emily Bracale who has been ill with Lyme for several years.  Suggested donation is $10 per person, but no one will be turned away for not contributing.  Also try to stop by COA's Blum Museum to see Emily's associated Art Show before the end of the month.

Fri March 19 - Thurs March 25
SHUTTER ISLAND  (R)  138min    5:30 and 8:15
Martin Scorsese (The Departed) returns with his fourth collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio, a mesmerizing thriller based on Dennis Lehane's (Mystic River) novel.  The story follows two US Marshalls (DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo) ho are summoned to a mental hospital for the criminally insane located on a forbidding and remote island off the coast of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a woman murderer (Emily Mortimer) from her fortress-like cell.  Also part of the excellent cast, Ben Kingsley plays the medical director, with Max von Sydow and Patricia Clarkson playing members of his staff.  Be on the lookout for footage of Acadia's Otter Cliffs, filmed here two years ago.

Fri March 19 - Mon March 22
CREATION (PG-13)    108min   6:00 and 8:30
Charles Darwin (Paul Bettany), world-renowned scientist and dedicated family man, is struggling to accept the death of his young daughter (Martha West) from scarlet fever.  Caught in a battle between faith and reason, he is torn between his love for his deeply religious wife (Jennifer Connelly) and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place.  Based on the biography Annie's Box by Darwin's great-great grandson from compiled letters and diaries, this intelligent, thoughtful and absorbing period drama from director Jon Amiel explores the conflict Darwin finds in his marriage as he continues his writing on The Origin of Species as therapy for his devastation after Annie dies; his challenge continues as he must decide whether or not to publish his surely controversial work. 

Tues March 23 - Thurs March 25
NORTH FACE  (NR)  126min  [in German with subtitles]    6:00 and 8:30
Inspired by a true story, this is a slow-burning, fully gripping adventure drama about a Nazi-sponsored competition to climb the then unconquered and infamously dangerous northern face of Switzerland's Eiger Mountain.  Heart-stopping action sequences are interspersed with scenes full of period details.  Two childhood friends Tony and Audi are apathetically serving in the German Army when they are offered this challenging opportunity.  They arrive at the base only to discover an Austrian team prepared to race them to the top.  Berlin's biggest newspaper publisher (Ulrich Tuker, Seraphine) and his editor Luise (Johanna Wokalek), an old friend of the climbers, arrive to chronicle the event, illuminating the dichotomy between the conditions the climbers face versus that of the media in the luxury motel.  Then the promising summer weather turns ugly.
