First a reminder that we have begun our weekly Senior Matinees. They will
run through March or so, on Thursdays, with the film usually starting at
1:30 (although if the film is too long, we will have to shift to a 1:00
start). The film for Thursday Jan 12 is THE IDES OF MARCH at 1:30.
And we have a special program this weekend. On Sunday afternoon (Jan
15th) starting at 1:30pm, as part of THE BIG READ, a program of Island
Readers and Writers, we will be hosting a free screening of Ken Burn's
documentary on Mark Twain. Jan Coates, the program director told me
yesterday that over 1100 copies of THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER have been
distributed across the county for this group read. In addition to Reel
Pizza's participation, there are many other events happening over the next
several weeks. check islandreadersandwriters.org for more info.
We will be screening SHERLOCK HOLMES: GAME OF SHADOWS this week, along
with HUGO and SUMMER PASTURE. We weren't able to get a preview trailer
for SUMMER PASTURE, but I added a link to one on the film's page on our
website that you can check out. Looks wonderful.
Here is the week's schedule. Barring complications, I will be sending out
the next "full" schedule shortly.

SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS (PG-13) 128min 6:00 and 8:30
Director Guy Richie and stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law reteam for
another similarly inventive and entertaining foray into Victorian
intrigue. Holmes is in a tizzy because his partner Watson is about to be
married (he cannot imagine why!) Then the Crown Prince of Austria is
found dead; suicide is suspected, but Holmes thinks otherwise, and deduces
that the mastermind is his arch-enemy, the nefarious Professor Moriarty
(Jared Harris). Watson is hijacked from his honeymoon and bedlam ensues.
Fri Jan 13 - Mon Jan 16
HUGO (PG) 98min 5:30 and 7:45
Martin Scorsese brings his unique vision and winning talents to his first
family film, based on Brian Selznick's Caldecott-winning "The Invention of
Hugo Cabret," sharing with this story a love of and appreciation of the
magic of films at the dawn of moviemaking. Wiley orphan Hugo (Asa
Butterfield) lives in the rafters of a 1930s Paris Metro station, winding
the clocks daily while trying to discover the secrets of a broken machine
left to him by his father. But when he is caught stealing needed parts
from a local toy seller (Ben Kingsley), his quest might be over. Sasha
Baron Cohen, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Lee, and Emily Mortimer co-star.
Tues Jan 17 - Thurs Jan 19
SUMMER PASTURE (NR) 85min [in Tibetan with subtitles] 5:30 and 7:30
In the poorest and most remote area of China's Sichuan Province lives a
charming and resilient nomadic family of eastern Tibetan yak herders.
Documentary filmmakers Lynn True, Nelson Walker, and Tsering Perlo have
crafted an accessible and intimate portrait of hardworking Yama, her
illiterate but charming husband Locho, and, following Tibetan Buddhist
tradition, their yet unnamed baby daughter. They continue their
hardscrabble lifestyle while many of their peers have relocated to the
city. This exquisite film chronicles a summer spent in the Zachukha
grasslands while the pressures of modernization create challenges that
threaten to reshape their existence.
