Sunday June 10  FORCE OF NATURE: The David Suzuki Movie  (NR)  2pm  FREE

Maybe the most inspiring, charming, eloquent, compelling voice for environmental sanity in the world today, geneticist David Suzuki is an icon, host of the long-running CBC show The Nature of Things and a pioneering and passionate environmentalist. This film, weaving together his last lecture with scenes from the places and events that shaped Suzuki's life, will inspire you by the thinking and enthusiasm of this scientist committed to helping people understand the importance of environmental impacts on life.  This film will be introduced by well-known nature writer, biologist and naturalist Harry Thurstone of Nova Scotia, the author of the newly published The Atlantic Coast, A Natural History. There will be a drawing for several copies of Mr. Thurston's new book.  The Maine Chapter of the Sierra Club presents this summer series at no cost to get people thinking about environmental issues.   (Future dates are July 8, Aug 12, Sept 16 and Oct tbd)

Fri June 8 - Thurs June 14

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING  (PG-13)  110min  6:00 and 8:30

This light and fun comedy-drama from director Kirk Jones (Waking Ned Devine) stars Cameron Diaz, Anna Kendrick, Jennifer Lopez, and Elizabeth Banks as the moms-to-be;  Chris Rock, Dennis Quaid, Ben Falcone are the dads.  A high-octane celebrity couple find pregnancy demanding; a baby-crazy author gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice while her husband struggles not to be outdone by his competitive Dad, whose trophy wife is expecting twins; a woman is prepared to travel the globe to adopt a child, while her panicked husband attends a dudes support group; and rival food truck chefs' one-night stand results in an unexpected quandary.

Friday June 8 - Monday June 11 

THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT  (R)  124min   5:30 and 8:00

Star-writer Jason Segel and writer director Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) reteam for this sweet and smart comedy about the long wait for an engaged couple to make their walk down the aisle.  Recently engaged, Tom gives up his good job as a chef in an upscale San Francisco restaurant so that his fiancée Violet (Emily Blunt) can attend a post-graduate program in Michigan; and they delay the wedding until they return home.  Two years pass while Tom works well below his potential in a sub shop, and Violet is excelling and wants to continue her program; they start to lose sight of what attracted themselves to each other in the first place. 

Tuesday June 12 - Thursday June 14 

MARLEY  (PG-13)  144min   5:30 and 8:15

Here is the definitive life story of the ground-breaking reggae musician and Rastafarian, from his early days on Jamaica through his rise to international stardom, to his death from cancer 31 years ago when he was just 36.  This ambitious and respectful film, made with the support and participation of his family from Oscar-winning director Kevin MacDonald (One Day in September, Last King of Scotland) celebrates Bob Marley’s spirit and creativity and features rare footage, incredible performances and revelatory interviews with the people who knew him best.
