Friday July 17 - Thursday July 24
THE DARK KNIGHT  (PG-13)  152min    5:30 and 8:30
SPECIAL MIDNIGHT SHOW 12:01am Friday morning; tickets go on sale Thurs 7/17 at 9pm
In this highly anticipated summer sequel, Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan (Memento) reunites with star Christian Bale (I�m Not There, 3:10 to Yuma), returning to continue Batman's war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker (the late Heath Ledger), who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces our Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.

back by popular demand!
Friday July 18 - Monday July 21
THE VISITOR  (PG-13) 103min    5:45 and 8:00
Writer-director Tom McCarthy (2003�s wonderful THE STATION AGENT) has no sophomore slump with his second film.  An offbeat and humanistic fable set in post-9/11 Manhattan, it stars character actor Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under) as a grumpy, widowed economics professor at a CT college who goes to NYC to present a paper.  When he arrives at his rarely used condo, he finds it occupied, sublet in a realestate scam to two illegal immigrants, a Syrian drummer and his Senegalese girlfriend.  He turns them out, only to invite them back in when he realizes they have nowhere else to go.  This act begins a friendship that will change them all.
 
Tuesday July 22 - Thurs July 24
MY BROTHER IS AN ONLY CHILD  (R)  108min   5:45 and 8:00
Set in a small Italian town, this breezily cinematic and memorable family drama tells the story of two brothers who want to change the world, but in completely different ways.  The elder, Manrico, is a handsome, charismatic firebrand who becomes a prime mover in the local Communist party.  Accio, the younger and more rebellious, finds his own contrarian voice by joining the reactionary Fascists.  What starts as a typical tale of sibling rivalry becomes the story of the polarizing and paralyzing politics of turbulent times.  The rift between the brothers is further intensified when Accio realizes that he loves his brother�s girlfriend, Francesca.  Bearing a striking resemblance to Best of Youth (same screenwriters) with involving, vividly drawn characters, director Daniel Luchetti has made a sharply humorous film about the dreams and disillusionments of the 60�s and 70�s.
