An important notice: This Wednesday, October 22nd, will be the final day of the 2008 Bar Harbor Green Famer's Market. (insert my sad face here). Come by and pick up some beautiful, healthy brassicas or some great storage crops to feed you and your family over the winter! The Market runs from 9am - 1pm, and is located in our parking lot.
Also, the heat has been turned on. Reel Pizza is warm and cozy inside for your viewing pleasure now that the overnight temperatures have plummeted (although the frosts don't seem to have mattered much to the still-flowering planters out front)!
And here is our schedule for Fri Oct 24 - 30.
See you soon
-Lisa and Chris

THE DUCHESS (PG-13) 109min 5:30 and 8:00
Keira Knightley is stellar as the Duchess of Devonshire, a headstrong woman from two centuries ago, who wanted to be a player in the wider affairs of the world. The direct ancestor of Princess Diana, and like her, this Duchess was ravishing, glamorous and adored by her country. But even with her power and popularity, she was unable to seduce her own boorish husband the Duke (Ralph Feinnes). When she tried to find her own way and be true to her heart and loyal to her duty the resulting controversies left all of London talking and paid the price. This ravishing costume drama, directed by Saul Dibbs, also stars Dominic Cooper (The History Boys) as the duchess�s childhood sweetheart, and Charlotte Rampling (Swimming Pool) as her appalled mother.
Fri Oct 24 - Mon Oct 27
FROZEN RIVER (R) 97min 6:00 and 8:15
Involving and gripping, this Sundance winner follows two ordinary women, both single-moms driven by severe economic hardship and a desperate love of their young children, who form an unlikely partnership to make ends meet. These women, one white, one Native American, uneasily join forces to smuggle illegal immigrants across the frozen St. Lawrence River from Canada into the Mohawk Reservation in upstate New York. Melissa Leo (21 Grams) and Misty Upham both give powerful performances in the debut feature film by Courtney Hunt. This dramatic, entertaining film is a complex portrait of family bonds and struggling women facing ethical choices in an authentically unforgiving world.
Tues Oct 28 - Thurs Oct 30
MAMMA�S MAN (NR) 94min 6:00 and 8:15
Mikey (Matt Boren) is a 30 year old new father, who, having just spent some time visiting with his parents at their cluttered Manhattan loft, his childhood home, suddenly refuses to return to his family in Los Angeles and moves back in to his old room. Unsure of his motivations, he makes up excuses for why he is staying; his doting mother (Flo Jacobs) happily enables his procrastination, while his artist father (legendary experimental filmmaker Ken Jacobs) is suspicious, and his wife becomes increasingly unsettled. Becoming more and more entrenched in his adolescent sanctuary, he eventually comes to a point where he must choose between life as it is and life as it was. This touching, insightful dramatic comedy by young independent filmmaker Azazel Jacobs, following in the footsteps of early Jim Jarmusch, features his actual parents and their home. It was produced by MDI resident Hunter Gray.
