[Reel Pizza] update Oct 14 - 20

hi everyone

Here is the schedule for the next week at Reel Pizza. It contains the
last episode in 2011 of ImproVision, our wacky collaboration with the
talents of ImprovAcadia on Friday night. They are a very funny crew!
Check it out while you still can.

With last week's frost, we have reached the end of the fresh basil season
(many thanks again to Paul of Happytown Farm) but, sad as this is, it
means the beginning of soup season. Hurrah! Look for some warming
options in the days and weeks ahead.

See you soon!
-Lisa

DRIVE (R) 100min 5:30 and 7:45
Ryan Gosling (Crazy, Stupid, Love) shifts gears again to play Driver, the
main character in this contemporary film noir set on the back streets of
Los Angeles. His days are spent as a stunt man for Hollywood pictures,
while in his evenings he moonlights as a getaway driver for criminals.
His cool is shaken a bit when he meets his pretty new neighbor (Carey
Mulligan) who has a young son and a husband in jail. Albert Brooks and
Ron Perlman are two shades of bad guy that cross Driver's path. This
stylishly suspenseful and entertaining film, based on the pulp novel by
James Sallis, won Nicholas Winding Refn the directing prize at this year's
Cannes Festival.

Fri Oct 14 - Mon Oct 17
THE FUTURE (R) 92min 6:00 and 8:00
Magical, charming and a little strange describes the second film from
performance artist Miranda July (Me, You and Everyone We Know). Blending
whimsy with deep emotion about growing up, she and Hamish Linklater star
as a middle-aged LA couple, Sophie and Jason, somewhat bored with life and
feeling they should add some responsibility. They decide to adopt a stray
cat they find; this cat, Paw-Paw, is ailing and may only have a few months
to live, one of its selling points. When they discover it could live
longer (even though they won't take possession for 30 days) their lives
are thrown into disarray, and they quit their day jobs; she takes on art
projects, he, volunteer activism and their lives change. This is a movie
that will stay with you long after you leave the cinema.

Tues Oct 18 - Thurs Oct 20
NAMES OF LOVE (R) [in FRENCH with subtitles] 102min 6:00 and 8:15
Energetic, young star Sara Forestier won the actress César this year for
her performance in this multi-cultural, star-crossed love story. She
plays free-spirit Baya Benmahmoud, an extroverted liberal who lives by the
old adage, "make love not war" to convert conservative right-wing men to
her left-leaning causes by sleeping with them. Then she meets Arthur
Martin, a middle aged biologist who specializes in avian diseases, but he
is not so easily seduced; this only encourages her further. Michel
Leclerc directs this clever and witty romantic comedy.
