hi everyone

Here are the films and times for this coming week; the new schedule will be on its e-way to you in a little while.
Enjoy your holiday weekend; I hope you all (and me too) can take some time to get out, walk around and see the leaves.
It sure looks pretty out there from up here in my office......

BURN AFTER READING (R) 6:00 and 8:15
Rebellious filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen about-face from their Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men into sheer silliness with a wildly comic thriller/sex-farce.  Full of wacky characters and terrific one-liners, and starring Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, and Richard Jenkins, the story follows two fitness center employees who find a file of the memoirs of a just fired CIA analyst, and try to turn it into cash to pay for some cosmetic surgery, attempting first to blackmail the analyst, with a backup plan of selling it to the Russians.  It is darkly funny and total nonsense. 

Fri 10/10 -Mon 10/13
MAN ON WIRE (PG-13)  5:30 and 7:45
At 7:15 AM on August 7, 1974, a young French street performer named Philippe Petit stepped out on a wire, illegally rigged between the tops of the New York's brand new twin towers 1350 feet above Manhattan.  After nearly an hour dancing on the wire, he was arrested, taken in for psychological evaluation, and charged with disturbing the peace, before finally being released.  Using rare footage and flawless reenactments, James Marsh's extraordinary documentary, constructed like a thriller as it details the preparations, brings Petit's daring adventure to life through the testimony of Philippe himself, as well as with some of the co-conspirators who helped him over seven years to create this unique and magnificent spectacle.

Tues 10/14 - Thurs 10/16
TELL NO ONE (NR)   [in French with subtitles] 5:30 and 8:00
Eight years after his childhood sweetheart wife (Marie-Josée Croze, Diving Bell and Butterfly) was murdered, new evidence surfaces incriminating a still devastated but kindly pediatrician (François Cluzet).  Simultaneously he also received an anonymous email, with video showing his beloved wife apparently still alive, containing the ominous message "tell no one".  Kirsten Scott Thomas plays his best friend and confident, who is also his sister's lover.  Based on the mystery thriller by Harlan Coben, this intricate and absorbing puzzle, the second film of French actor and director Guillaume Canet, was nominated for nine French Oscars, winning four.
