SIERRA CLUB SUMMER SERIES #3
GREENFIRE (NR) 72min Sunday 8/14 2pm
Aldo Leopold is considered by many to be the father of wildlife management
and the US wilderness system. After a career in the US Forest Service in
the southwest, he transferred to Wisconsin and worked in ecological
restoration on his family farm, while teaching game management at
University of Wisconsin. A collection of his essays examining humanities
relationship to the natural world, A Sand County Almanac, was published
just after his death, and remains one of the most respected books about
the environment ever written. Led by Leopold's biographer Dr. Curt Meine,
this new film provocatively examines the legendary conservationist's
thinking, renewing his idea of a land ethic for a population facing 21 st
century ecological challenges. Using archival documents and photographs
as well as historical and contemporary footage of the landscapes that
influenced him as well as those he influenced, this film traces his
journey toward the key insight that was the culmination of his life's
work, that we are responsible for the health of our natural world.

IMPROVISION Sunday 8/14 11pm
Improvision is our occasional, wacky collaboration with the talented
ImprovAcadia crew. With the sound turned off, this ever-changing group of
up and coming comedians improvise the dialogue, music tracks and sound
effects to a cheesy grade-B movie that they have never seen before! Their
talents make the pictures on the screen way funnier than they were ever
anticipated. It's a totally new show every time.

*******************************

Fri 8/12 - Thurs 8/18
HORRIBLE BOSSES (R) 98min 6:00 and 8:00
Three horrible bosses (Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jennifer
Aniston)…that is what three friends (Jason Batemen, Charlie Day and Jason
Sudeikis) have and complain about. They can't quit because they know
there are no other jobs out there. What starts off as an imaginary and
far-fetched premise developed over beers at the pub devolves, with the
help and advice from a terrifying ex-con (Jamie Foxx), into unsavory,
doomed-to-fail and absolutely silly pandemonium. TV and Documentary
director Seth Gordon (King of Kong) gets pitch perfect performances from
his cast in a fun film where the wildly outrageous situations spiral into
increasing chaos.

Fri 8/12 - Mon 8/15
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (PG-13) 94min 5:30 and 7:45
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
The City of Lights in three separate eras is the setting for Woody Allen's
latest literate gem, a charming and engaging romantic comedy that muses on
nostalgia. Owen Wilson stars as Gil, a hack screenwriter who is working
on but unsatisfied with his first novel. He and his irritable fiancée
(Rachel McAdams) have traveled to Paris with her parents for a vacation.
While he revels ins the artistic history surrounding them (he yearns to
have lived in the Jazz Age of the 1920s), she has plans to shop. One
night out for a walk alone, he is invited by a costumed American couple in
a stylish old car to a party and the magic begins.

Tues 8/16 - Thurs 8/18
BRIDE FLIGHT (R) 130min [partly in Dutch with subtitles] 5:30 and 8:15
Eager to escape the damp and suffocating atmosphere of post-war Holland,
three young Dutch women look to a better life in New Zealand. They meet on
the immigration flight to their new country, where they are to join their
fiancés and marry. During the flight, the three women form a bond of
friendship among themselves, and with Frank, an attractive young man who
wants to set up a winery. On their arrival, all four part ways to start a
new life. Yet their paths continue to cross. An outing that reunites all
four turns into a near. Only 50 years later do they all come together
again, perhaps closer now than ever before. This was a well-received
title in last year's MIFF-by-the-Sea film festival, now in general
release.
