Here is today through Thursday's schedule at Reel Pizza.
We have a special program this weekend. The third installment of the SIERRA CLUB FREE ENVIRONMENTAL FILM SERIES will be held on Sunday starting at 2pm. There will be two films screened on the topic of climate change; first the Oscar-nominated SUN COME UP about the relocation of the residents of Carteret Island in the South Pacific, a low-lying island which is losing the battle with rising sea levels. Also A SEA CHANGE a documentary about ocean acidification, caused by burning fossil fuels, and its effects on the marine ecosystem. The speaker will be UMO professor, Joseph Kelley, Ph.D, who is a marine geologist and an internationally known expert on sea-level change and other coastal issues.
We open the brand-new BOURNE film today, THE BOURNE LEGACY starring Jeremy Renner who was so good in THE HURT LOCKER and from director/screenwriter Tony Gilroy, who wrote the first three BOURNE screenplays. Steven Soderbergs's dramady MAGIC MIKE and indie comedy SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED will fill the other screen this week. Film descriptions below.

THE BOURNE LEGACY (PG-13) 135min
Screenwriter for the previous three Bourne movies, Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) has created an original story and also now directs this exciting, new adventure that focuses on a new character Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker), another special CIA agent in a related program whose existence has been compromised by the exposure of Jason Bourne’s operation. He and all this program’s trainees are targeted by the program’s director (Ed Norton) to be terminated in a purge of this department. Barely escaping an assassination attempt, he joins forces with another target, a bio-chemist (Rachel Weisz, The Deep Blue Sea) who he needs to keep him alive.
MAGIC MIKE (R) 110min
Set in the world of the all-male dance review, this latest film from prolific and multi-disciplinary director-cinematographer Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s 11, Traffic, sex lies and videotape) might be this summer’s guilty pleasure for half the population. It is also a charming and entertaining story (albeit with a bit of wonderfully campy eye-candy) of a guy with dreams. Based on a brief period in star Channing Tatum’s (21 Jump Street) real life, the story follows a construction worker who does stripping on the side, trying to raise the money he needs to start his dream business. He takes a young, aimless dropout under his wing and gets him a job at the club. Matt McConaughey (Bernie) continues his recent excellent work playing Texan characters as the club’s sleazy owner.
SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED (R) 86min
An unusual classified ad (purportedly real) seeking a companion for a time-travelling expedition leads three Seattle-based alternative weekly magazine employees to the coast where they find paranoid grocery clerk Kenneth (Mark Duplass, Your Sister’s Sister). Jeff, a cynical reporter, heads off to rekindle an old high school flame, while Darius (Aubrey Plaza, TV’s Parks and Recreation) and Arnau (Karan Soni) prepare for their adventure. This multi-layered, sweetly eccentric and freshly offbeat comedy won the screenwriting award at Sundance for writer Derek Connolly, and is the inspired feature debut for director Colin Trevorrow.
SUN COME UP (NR) 36min
A multiple award-winner at several festivals, this Academy Award-nominated film shows the human face of climate change, provoking discussion about climate change, displacement, and the rights of vulnerable communities around the globe and is an inspiring glimpse into how one community is adapting to climate change. The film follows the relocation of the Carteret Islanders, a community living on a remote island chain in the South Pacific Ocean, and now, some of the world’s first environmental refugees. When climate change threatens their survival, the islanders face a painful decision to leave their ancestral land in search of a new place to call home. A group of young islanders try to search for land and build relationships in war-torn Bougainville, 50 miles across the open ocean.
A SEA CHANGE (NR) 60min
This film documents how the pH balance of the oceans has changed dramatically since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and examines how the dramatic changes we are seeing in the chemistry of the oceans will affect the future of life on Earth. With near unanimity, scientist now agree that the burning of fossil fuels is fundamentally reshaping ocean chemistry and the steady increases in carbon dioxide emissions and resulting rise in acidity of the oceans will cause a bottom-up collapse of the world's fisheries that could last for millions of years.
