PRISONERS
  (R)  146min  5:30 and 8:30
Oscar-nominated Canadian director Denis Villeneuve’s (Incendies) labyrinthine new film is a gripping, exhilarating thriller.  On Thanksgiving Day two young girls disappear, the daughters of friends Keller and Grace Dover (Hugh Jackman and Maria Bello) and Franklin and Nancy Birch (Terrence Howard and Viola Davis).  The cops are called and a mentally challenged drifter (Paul Dano) is arrested, but when Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) doesn’t have any evidence, he is released.  With the girls still missing, Keller takes matters into his own hands, believing fully this creep is the perpetrator, with catastrophic results.   trailer

Fri Oct 25 - Mon Oct 28
IN A WORLD…  (R)  93min  6:00 and 8:15
This hilarious comedy is about a struggling female vocal coach (Lake Bell) trying to make it big in the cutthroat world of movie-trailer voiceovers, only to find herself in direct competition with the industry’s reigning king who is about to retire -- her father (Fred Melamed) -- and his male protégé (Ken Marino).  To top it off, her dad has just kicked her out of the house so his new trophy wife can have more room, so she is sleeping on the couch of her sister and brother-in-law.  And her smitten sound engineer will do anything to help her, and only hopes she notices him.  Lake Bell (It’s Complicated) has written, directed, produced and stars in this refreshing, charming and witty film, and has assembled an excellent supporting cast, including Rob Corddry, Michaela Watkins, Demetri Martin, Cameron Diaz and Geena Davis; she is a fresh new voice on the filmmaking scene.   trailer
 
Tues Oct 29 - Thurs Oct 31
INEQUALITY FOR ALL  (PG)  85min  6:00 and 8:00
TUES 10/29 EARLY SHOW BONUS!   We welcome a panel discussion by the Maine Center for Economic Policy after the screening.

Last year (2012) the 400 richest people in America owned half the country’s wealth, more than the bottom 150 million people combined.  The big picture behind the recent economic crisis in the US and its devastating effects on the middle class is the subject of this enlightening documentary which features an engaging and persuasive Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary (under Clinton) who also worked in the Ford and Carter administrations, and now is Professor of Public Policy at UC-Berkeley.  Using footage filmed live during lectures in his popular “Wealth and Poverty” class and while on the speaking circuit (you might have seen him on cable news talk shows or heard him on the radio) as well as interviews with ordinary people of both political affiliations who can barely make ends meet, director Jacob Kornbluth has made an insightful, unflinching look at American income disparity that hasn’t been as wide as it is today since 1928, what that means for our economy, and how we might make it better.    trailer
