Friday night 7/23 is DINE-AROUND DAY for the benefit of the Island Connections. Reel Pizza will be participating, sending a donation for every pizza made that evening. If you don't want to eat with us, many other fine establishments are involved. What a good excuse to not have to cook!
Just putting the finishing touches on the next schedule; look for it in your inbox tomorrow.
See you soon.

INCEPTION (PG-13) 142min 5:30 and 8:30
One of the most anticipated films of the summer, the new film from Christopher Nolan (Memento, Dark Knight) is cloaked in a veil of secrecy. However, it is known that this sci-fi thriller stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a dream thief whose forte is stealing secrets from deep within the sub-conscious when the mind is most vulnerable. His success has made him an international fugitive, but one last job could give him his life back. He must do the reverse, planting an idea into someone's mind. But the enemy is seemingly able to predict his every move. Also stars Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, and Michael Caine.
Friday July 23 - Mon July 26
CITY ISLAND (PG-13) 100min 6:00 and 8:15
Every member of this proud, loud and quite dysfunctional Bronx family has at least one big secret. The grown daughter, expelled from college, is working as a pole dancer at a strip. The teenaged son lives in an internet fantasy world where he obsesses over watching fat women eat. Mom (Julianna Margulies) sneaks cigarettes even though she's adamant she's quit, and is sure her hubby is having an affair, so maybe she'll have one too. Prison guard Dad (Andy Garcia) says he's playing poker with the guys, but is really taking acting classes (Alan Arkin is the teacher). Then he brings home an ex-con, who no one except him knows is his illegitimate son he's never met. This eccentric, lovable film from director Raymond de Felitta is a charming and humanity filled comedy.
Tues July 27 - Thurs July 29
PLEASE GIVE (R) 91min 6:00 and 8:00
Nicole Holofcener (Walking and Talking, Lovely and Amazing) continues her string of excellent films featuring credible female characters with flaws and strengths, speaking sophisticated, believable dialog in this hilarious, heartfelt and original comedy of urban manners. Catherine Keener stars (as she has in all the director's films) as Kate, a middle-aged New Yorker, who with her husband Alex (Oliver Platt) operates a successful vintage furniture store; their inventory comes from inexpensive estate sales. Kate feels guilty that she is taking advantage of the bereaved for personal gain. She is also guilty about the increasing materialism of her teenaged daughter. And they have already bought the adjacent apartment of the bitter, elderly lady (Ann Guilbert), ready to expand their living space as soon as she dies. More guilt. To assuage, Kate invites her neighbor and her two grown granddaughters who take care of her (Amanda Peet and Rebecca Hall) to dinner, with disastrous consequences.
