*Opening at the theaters this week!
_Broadway
_*_*More Than a Game
<
http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/morethanagame>*_ A true-life,
coming of age story that follows NBA superstar LeBron James and four of
his talented teammates through the trials and tribulations of high
school basketball in Ohio and James' journey to fame.
**** Los Angeles Times- "A knockout of a sports documentary. Destined
against its will to be known as "the LeBron James movie," it is all
that, and a good deal more."
_*
The Boys Are Back <
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0926380/>*_ Inspired by a
true story, The Boys Are Back is a deeply moving, wryly confessional
tale of fatherhood, that intimately evokes both the fragility and
wonders of family life. Starring Clive Owen.
**** Variety- "This is polished yet authentically moving."
*_
Tower at Midnight
_Zombie Weekend!
*
Come dressed as the undead as we present a pair of zombie features this
weekend at the Tower.
On Fri. at midnight and Sun. at noon: *Shaun of the Dead
<
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365748/>*
On Sat. at midnight: _*The Return of the Living Dead
<
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089907/>*_
*_
_**Held Over!*
*_
The September Issue <
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1331025/>_* The
September 2007 issue of Vogue magazine weighed nearly five pounds, and
was the single largest issue of a magazine ever published. With
unprecedented access, 'The September Issue,' directed and produced by
R.J. Cutler, tells the story of legendary Vogue editor in chief Anna
Wintour and her larger-than-life team of editors creating the issue and
ruling the world of fashion.
_*Amreeka <
http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/amreeka>*_ A comical,
touching, and poignant story of a single mother who leaves the West Bank
with dreams of an exciting future in the promised land of small town
Illinois.
**** Roger Ebert- "A heartwarming film, not a political dirge. Much of
this warmth comes from the actress Nisreen Faour."
*_
_**_Capitalism: A Love Story <
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1232207/>_*
Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story explores the root causes of the
global economic meltdown and takes a comical look at the corporate and
political shenanigans that culminated in what Moore has described as the
biggest robbery in the history of this country--the massive transfer of
U.S. taxpayer money to private financial institutions.
***1/2 Rolling Stone- "Moore's fireball of a movie could change your
life. It had me laughing with tears in my eyes."
_*Bright Star <
http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/brightstar>*_ >From
acclaimed director, Jane Campion, brings us an intimate drama based on
the three-year romance between 19th century poet John Keats and Fanny
Brawne.
**** The New York Times "Ms. Campion, with her restless camera movements
and off-center close-ups, films history in the present tense, and her
wild vitality makes this movie romantic in every possible sense of the
word."
*_It Might Get Loud
<
http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/itmightgetloud>_* Rarely can a
film penetrate the glamorous surface of rock legends. It Might Get Loud
tells the personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of
electric guitar virtuosos -- The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin),
and Jack White (The White Stripes). It reveals how each developed his
unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both
found and invented.
**** Rolling Stone- "Does this sound like rock heaven? It is."
*_
(500) Days of Summer
<
http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/500daysofsummer>_* An offbeat
romantic comedy and Sundance hit about a woman (played perfectly by
Zooey Deschanel) who doesn't believe true love exists, and the young man
(Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who falls for her.
**** Roger Ebert- "Here is a rare movie...a delightful comedy, alive
with invention."
