THE HELP (PG-13) 149min 5:30 and 8:30

Fri Sept 23 - Mon Sept 26
TERRI (R)* 105min 6:00 and 8:15
(*Roger Ebert mentions that the R rating on this film is absurd.)


Tues Sept 27 - Thursday Sept 29
POINT BLANK (R) 84min [in FRENCH w. subtitles] 6:00 and 8:00


Fri Sept 23 - Thurs Sept 29
THE HELP (PG-13) 137min 5:30 and 8:30
Based on Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel, this new film explores the
plight of black maids in Civil Rights Era Jackson, Mississippi with both
gravity and affecting humor, raised by excellent performances. Skeeter
(Emma Stone) is just graduated from Ol'Miss and returned to her childhood
home and friends. She has taken a job with the local paper writing a
housekeeping column, and hopes to get assistance from the maids, including
Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, of her friends (whom she is finding
increasingly racist). Soon she decides what she would really like to do
is write a story of the maids' experiences working for these women. But
getting these women to talk to her is a challenge, especially with the
racial unrest.

Fri Sept 23 - Mon Sept 26
TERRI (R) 105min 6:00 and 8:15
This unpredictable and honestly complex coming-of-age comedy stars John C.
Reilly as a slightly outrageous and hapless vice-principal who guides a
group of high-school misfits, including Terri (Jacob Wysocki), an awkward,
gentle and overweight teen who wears pajamas to school because they are
comfortable, Heather, the unattainable, beautiful blonde girl of his
dreams, and Chad, an edgy, odd outcast. Directed by Azazel Jacobs
(Momma's Man) from a series of short stories by screenwriter Patrick
DeWitt, this rich and carefully made film is quite funny. Roger Ebert
mentions (again) that the R rating is absurd.

Tues Sept 27 - Thurs Sept 29
POINT BLANK (R) 84min [in French with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:00
An act of kindness by Samuel, a hospital nurse's aide, toward one of his
patient results first in his being honored as a hero, then in his pregnant
wife being kidnapped by vicious gangsters. In this breakneck-paced,
thrilling chase film that explores all sides of Paris from French director
Fred Cavayé, Samuel becomes a fugitive and must find his wife before she
is killed while evading both the notorious criminals that want his patient
dead, as well as dueling police commanders on his tail.
