Happy Summer Everyone !
Here is our next three week schedule that takes us right into the thick of "it." We have a busy Sunday July 19th planned, with a super-special Sierra Club Summer Matinee film with filmmaker attending to talk in the afternoon, our regular programming in the evening, and an ImproVision late night! Whew!
Plus the outdoor Seaside Cinema summer series on Bar Harbor's Agamont Park overlooking the Harbor starts on Wednesday July 15 at dusk, with PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE; these al fresco films continue Wednesday evenings thru August; free popcorn provided by Camden National Bank. Bring a blanket and join in the fun. (July 22 - DUMA; July 29 - SONG OF THE SEA; Aug 5 - TIME BANDITS; Aug 12 - WE BOUGHT A ZOO; Aug 19 - silent short films with live musical accompaniment by Fletcher's Landing Philharmonic Orchestra. Aug 26 is reserved in case any film screenings are rained out.)
We recognize our regular schedule is a little heavier than usual with Hollywood films this go-round, but 'tis the season, and also many of the independent films we want to show you are not yet available to us. Come soothe your inner popcorn fanatic now, and know we will be more fully addressing your head and heart later this summer.
Since we went to press we have an additional confirmation that fills this schedule on both screens. Therefore, I will give you dates and times for the entire run. Remember that on July 4th, we only show the early screenings of both our films in deference to the holiday fireworks display at 9:15 down at the pier. Pray it doesn't rain!!
We have recently started using Happytown Farm greens in our salad again, and expect to have Fresh Basil back on the toppings list really soon. The real meaning of summer!! mmmmmmmmmmmmm
See you soon
-Lisa and Chris

SIERRA CLUB SUMMER MATINEE SERIES: Film and Filmmaker Talk
THE SACRED PLACE WHERE LIFE BEGINS: Gwich'in Women Speak (NR) 20min 2pm
The coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska is one of America's greatest wildernesses. This area is the birthing and nursing ground for the Porcupine Caribou Herd, on which the Gwich'in people who are native to this region have depended for millennia, but since 1986 has been threatened by oil and gas development. In this award-winning short film, Gwich'in women speak out for their sacred land and inspire audiences around the world to action. The filmmaker, Miho Aida, originally from Tokyo, Japan and based in San Francisco, will speak at this screening as part of her 1,000 mile bicycle film tour from Washington DC to Bar Harbor to share her film and empower you to take action to urge our U.S. Congressional representatives to cosponsor the Arctic Wilderness Bill H.R. 239. This free screening is presented by the Maine Chapter of the Sierra Club to get people thinking about the environment. trailer
IMPROVISION (NR) 11pm

REGULAR PROGRAM FILMS:
Friday July 3 - Thurs July 9
INSIDE OUT (PG) 102min 5:30 & 7:45
HELD OVER BY POPULAR DEMAND! The most recent film from venerable Pixar Studios tackles the emotions of growing up. Riley is a mess when she has to move with her family from her comfortable Midwest home to a new life in San Francisco. And the emotions that guide and advise her – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hadar), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling), and Sadness (Phyllis Smith), who all live in the control center of her mind - are also in turmoil, conflicting on how best to navigate a new town, home and school. Early word is this Pete Doctor-written and directed animation (Up) is one of Pixar's very best, inventive, magical, touching and very funny. trailer
Fri July 3 - Thurs July 9
JURASSIC WORLD (PG-13) 123min 6:00 & 8:30
The Jurassic World Theme park set on an island off Costa Rica has been in operation for over a decade, but now admissions are declining and the corporate overlords demand a new exhibit to spark interest. However, it backfires horribly and has people running for their lives when a genetically engineered Indominus Rex goes on a rampage. This action packed film is a worthy follow-up to Steven Spielberg's original Jurassic Park. Stars include Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Omar Sy, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Judy Greer. trailer
Fri July 10 - Thurs July 23 (two weeks)
MINIONS (PG) 104min 5:30 & 7:45
BRAND NEW! The demented, adorable, gibberish-spouting yellow blobs that stole the DESPICABLE ME movies have gotten their own origins story, beginning before the dinosaurs as one-celled organisms. Seeking to serve only the most evil masters, they run through the worst of history, including T-Rex, Dracula and Napoleon. Terribly depressed after Waterloo, they hide in a cave for a century or so, until three, Kevin, Stuart and Bob decide to venture out into the world to find a new villain, which they find in swinging 1960's London, the first female to be boss, Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock). With infectious, very funny humor, inventive and smart sight-gags come fast and furious from beginning to end. trailer
Fri July 10 - Mon July 13
FIVE FLIGHTS UP (PG-13) 92min 6:00 & 8:00
And unbeatable Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman headline this charming and touching story about an aging couple, and artist and a retired teacher, who have lived with their beloved pet dog in the same 5th floor walk-up for decades. When they bought it, it was rundown, but now their neighborhood has become trendy, and their investment has markedly increased in value. Plus, now it is becoming harder to navigate all those stairs, and they are starting to wonder if they should find a new place with an elevator. Her niece (Cynthia Nixon) is a real estate agent who agrees to help them, and over one crazy weekend, they list their property, host an open house, and also go hunting for a new place to call home. Richard Loncraine (Richard III) directs. trailer
Tues July 14 - Thurs July 16
THE 100-YEAR-OLD-MAN Who Went Out The Window And Disappeared (R) 114min [mostly in Swedish with subtitles] 6:00 & 8:30
Magical and goofy, this delightfully absurd film tells about the latest exploits of centenarian Allan Karlsson (played by popular Swedish comedian Robert Gustafsson), who has created chaos throughout his life and has a penchant for blowing things up. His latest oopsy landed him in an old-folks home, where today they are about to celebrate his birthday. But he's having none of that, and sneaks away to the bus station on a trip to anywhere. A chance meeting with a gruff biker's suitcase sets him off on another adventure. trailer
Fri July 17 - Thurs July 30 (two weeks)
ANT-MAN (PG-13) 115min 6:00 & 8:30
BRAND NEW! This is the latest film in Marvel Comic's cinematic universe. Just out of jail, con-artist and thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) wants to connect with his young daughter but his ex says she wants all the back child support she's owed first. He takes part in a robbery to get the money he needs, but all he finds is this odd suit, which he soon discovers gives him the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength. He must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor and suit creator, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world. trailer
Fri July 17 - Thurs July 23 (second week)
MINIONS (PG) 104min 5:30 & 7:45
********************
TESTAMENT OF YOUTH (PG-13) 129min
This powerful story of love, war and remembrance is based on Vera Brittain's memoir of her time during WWI. Starring Alicia Vickander (Ex Machina, Anna Karenina), Vera is a strong-willed feminist who would rather attend Oxford than get married, until she meets her brother's friend (Kit Harrington, Game of Thrones) and then she wants both. But war with Germany breaks out and all the young men she knows enthusiastically go off to battle for what they think will be a short and sweet engagement; when the war drags on she decides she needs to be more useful than just studying, and becomes a nurse who goes to the front lines. This feature debut of TV and documentary director James Kent is a beautifully filmed and emotionally resonant film about the consequences of war. trailer
LOVE & MERCY (PG-13) 120min
Two actors play brilliant, tortured Beach Boy leader, singer and songwriter Brian Wilson in this compassionate and moving but unconventional biographical drama. Paul Dano fully inhabits the young visionary at his creative peak as he is putting together the "Pet Sounds" album during the 1960's. John Cusack is equally impressive as the man in the 1980's, fragile, and under the control of his manipulative, dictatorial therapist Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti), until he meets Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks) the woman who became his second wife and set him free. Acclaimed producer Bill Pohlad (12 Years a Slave, Brokeback Mountain) directs from a screenplay by Oren Moverman (I'm Not There, The Messenger) and Michael Alan Lerner. trailer
