This is late in arriving because Chris and I have been out of town at a cinema owners convention and just returned in time for this lovely Maine spring weather! Our films are all here and enough of our staff are walkers, so we will be open, but don't drive unnecessarily, because it is pretty miserable out there on the roads. This is quite a different sight from what we left yesterday in Las Vegas, that is for sure!
Next Thursday will be our final Senior Matinee for the winter.
Here is the schedule of films for this week, starting TODAY.
Fri 4/1 - Thurs 4/7
Fri 4/1 - Mon 4/4
Tues 4/5 - Thurs 4/7
Fri April 1 - Thurs April 7
ANOTHER YEAR (PG-13) 129min 5:45 and 8:30
Master filmmaker Mike Leigh (Topsy Turvey, Vera Drake) again uses his unorthodox, collaborative style of script development to create a rich, involving and understated drama (Oscar-nominated for original screenplay) about happiness and growing old. Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen play a long-time happily married couple with a grown son. Over a year they share their home with friends, colleagues, and family whose lives have not turned out the way they'd hoped.
Fri April 1 - Mon April 4
RANGO (PG) 107min 5:30 and 7:45
This new animated picture, the first from Industrial Light and Magic, and director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) is not the traditional fart-joke cartoon. It is a gorgeous, weird, exciting and totally original ride through the Wild West. Rango (Johnny Depp) is a sheltered pet chameleon with aspirations to be an actor who is jostled out of the back of his people's car on a trip through the Mojave Desert. He ends up in the lawless, gun-slinging town of Dirt where at that moment they are looking for someone to become the new sheriff (the last one lasted less than a week). Although he's always blended in, all of a sudden he is asked to be the hero. This is one fun film for both kids and adults.
Tues April 5 - Thurs April 7
COLD WEATHER (NR) 97min 5:30 and 7:45
Doug (Cris Lankenau) has just dropped out of college where he was studying forensic science, and moved in with his older sister (Trieste Kelly) in Portland. He gets a dead-end job in an ice-packing factory and befriends co-worker Carlos (Raúl Castillo). When Carlos's new girl friend goes missing, these three join forces, with a ramshackle, Sherlock Holmes-style, to solve the mystery of her whereabouts. With deadpan humor and natural performances, independent filmmaker Aaron Katz has created a comfortable, lived-in world for his charming offbeat detective story that also shows a brother and sister becoming friends.
