We are departing the text for this coming week's film. Starting Friday 10/9 thru Thursday 10/15 we will be screening the thrilling adventure film EVEREST (PG-13), playing opposite of THE PROPHET (PG) and JIMMY'S HALL (R). And if you sometimes get your showtimes from our ad in the Mount Desert Islander (or know someone who does), the times listed here in the email are correct; the times in the newspaper's ad were created with some erroneous information and have changed (I want to say I will never trust the internet again!) We will be showing WALK IN THE WOODS next week, for those who are waiting, and the next schedule of films will be in your inbox by tomorrow.
Here is this coming Holiday week's schedule. We look forward to seeing you!

EVEREST (PG-13) 122mi n 6:00 & 8:30
Shot in the Himalayas and in Italy's Dolomite range, this harrowing and thrilling adventure is a loose dramatization of the events of the ill-fated 1996 Mount Everest expedition detailed in the non-fiction Into Thin Air by participant and author Jon Krakaurer (Into the Wild). Jake Gyllenhaal stars as daredevil American guide Rob Hall and Jason Clarke as serious New Zealander guide Scott Fischer, rivals who are leading separate groups of hikers, including a defiant Texan (Josh Brolin) and a postal worker on his second attempt (John Hawkes). Written by William Nicholson (Gladiator) and Simon Beaufoy (127 Hours) and costarring Emily Watson, Keira Knightly and Robin Wright this stunning film is directed by Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur (The Deep). trailer

KAHLIL GIBRAN'S THE PROPHET (PG) 85min 5:30 & 7:45
Enchanting and inspirational, this lovely animated adaptation of the classic volume of poetry by the celebrated Lebanese author features the works of an international group of nine award-winning animators, including Nina Paley (Sita Sings the Blues), 2 time Oscar Nominee Thom Moore (The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea), and 2 time Oscar Nominee and cartoonist Bill Plympton (Guard Dog), who bring a selection of the poems to life. Directed by R oger Allers (The Lion King), the animated poems are woven through a story of an exiled poet (Liam Neeson), his housekeeper (Salma Hayek) and her free-spirited daughter (Quvenzhané Wallis), with music by Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, and Yo-Yo Ma. trailer

JIMMY'S HALL (PG-13) 106min 5:30 & 8:00
Socio-realist, British director Ken Loach (The Wind that Shakes the Barley, The Angel's Share) has made a rich, gentle, fact-based period drama about the only Irish man ever deported from Ireland. Based on a play by Donal O'Kelly and written by his long-time collaborator Paul Laverty, this is a portrait of Jimmy Gralton, whose sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads, which became a place where people could come to learn, argue, dream, dance and have fun. But the local priest and politicians deem it a den of communism, a threat to the community, and order it shut. trailer
