CONTAGION (PG-13) 106min 5:30 and 8:00
Director Stephen Soderbergh (Traffic, Erin Brockovich) has made an
engrossing, harrowing medical thriller with a top shelf cast. Gwyneth
Paltrow is Patient Zero, the first to die from an easily spread virus that
starts off innocently with slight cold symptoms that within days morphs
into convulsions and death. Matt Damon is her husband, apparently immune.
Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard. Elliot Gould, and
Jennifer Ehle work on the medical side, trying to figure out what is
happening and how to stop an apparent pandemic. Jude Law is a blogger
selling a homeopathic remedy whose writing does not calm the masses. This
is a intelligent, entertaining disaster movie that might make you a
believer in antibacterial soap.
Fri Oct 7 - Mon Oct 10
MY IDIOT BROTHER (R) 95min 6:00 and 8:15
This big-hearted comedy that is true to life stars Paul Rudd as a too
trusting and generous organic farmer whose best intentions with everyone
always seem to lead to chaos. His main goal in life is to be reunited
with his beloved pet dog, lost in a custody battle with his former
girlfriend. When they break up, he also loses his place to live, so heads
to mom's (Shirley Knight), then to each of his sister's (Zooey Deschanel,
Emily Mortimer, and Elizabeth Banks) each of whom have secrets. As he
causes disarray in one household, he moves on to the next. Director Jesse
Peretz (The Chateau) has made a smart and charming film from an honest and
funny script by his sister Eugenia Peretz.
Tues Oct 11 - Thurs Oct 13
SARAH'S KEY (PG-13) 111min [partly in FRENCH with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:30
In Paris, July 1942, ten-year-old Sarah and her family are targeted by the
occupying Nazis and rounded up and imprisoned by the French police.
Before they are taken away, she locks her little brother in a secret
closet, promising to return to free him. In present-day Paris, American
journalist Julia Jarmond (an excellent Kirsten Scott Thomas) has been
commissioned to write an article about the notorious Velodrome d'Hiver
roundup of French Jews by their countrymen. She soon realizes she and her
husband live in an apartment that his family has owned since that summer
in 1942, one once owned by these deported people. Based on the
best-selling detective story by Tatiana de Rosnay, director Gilles
Paquet-Brenner has made a powerful and absorbing film.
