I hope you didn't notice that, with huge thanks to our exceptional staff, Chris and I and the kids took off this past weekend for a family wedding in Colorado! It was definitely odd to be headed out of town in the middle of the busy summer season. Before returning, Pierce, Chloe and I spent a couple of days in Rocky Mtn National Park, and they thought it was very funny how much alike Estes Park, CO and Bar Harbor are... One of them noted that the only real difference is that Colorado promotes elk, bighorn sheep, moose and hunting, while here we sell things with puffins, whales and lighthouses on them!
Anyhow, this is coming tardily as I just got back in to town late last night. We offer another fun-filled week of film fun for you all. Enjoy this last full week of summer vacation! See you soon...

EAT PRAY LOVE (PG-13) 140min 5:30 and 8:30
Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having a husband, a house, a successful career yet, like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly, painfully divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her picturesque travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love (with Javier Bardem) in Bali. This romantic drama, based upon the bestselling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, is directed by Ryan Murphy.

ONDINE (PG-13) 102min 6:00 and 8:15
This enchanting, touching drama from filmmaker Neil Jordan (The Crying Game), set in his picturesque home village on the southern coast of Ireland, tells the story of Syracuse (Colin Farrell), a divorced fisherman living a hardscrabble life who one day pulls up a beautiful, mysterious and nearly dead woman in his trawler�s nets. She is shy and refuses to see a doctor, preferring to recuperate at the seaside hut he calls home. Through the insistence of his ailing, yet irrepressible daughter, Annie, he comes to believe that the fantastical might be possible and that the woman might be a mythological selkie, even though his priest, hearing his confessions, thinks he�s a nutcase. Her presence and singing has certainly improved his catch, and Ondine and Syracuse fall passionately in love, but just as it seems the fairytale might go on forever, the real world intercedes.
Tues Aug 31 - Thurs Sept 2
SOLITARY MAN (R) 90min 6:00 and 8:00
Michael Douglas gives an excellent performance as roguish, sixty year old New Yorker Ben Kalmen, formerly a successful car dealer who through his own bad choices lost his entire business. He's on the verge of a comeback, but some of the same motivations that led to his demise are threatening to take him down again. He's divorced from his college sweetheart (Susan Sarandon), the one person who knows him better than anyone. His daughter Susan breaks off contact when she discovers he's seeing one of her friends. He then alienates his girlfriend Jordan (Mary Louise Parker), the daughter of a very influential businessman when, obliviously, he again makes a poor choice, throwing everything into jeopardy. He ends up at his alma mater where a current student (Jesse Eisenberg) and an old school mate (Danny DeVito) try to help him. This incisive, well-acted film is from writer-directing partners Brian Koppleman and David Levien.
