becoming dangerously obsessed with her.

*Opening at the theaters this week!
**_Broadway_*
*Amelia <
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129445/>* An extraordinary life of
adventure, celebrity and continuing mystery comes to light in /Amelia/,
a vast, thrilling account of legendary aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart
(played by two time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank).
**** Hollywood Reporter "This top-flight portrayal of the aviator by
Hilary Swank is an instant bio classic."
*
A Serious Man <
http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/seriousman>* This
black comedy set in 1967 and centered on Larry Gopnik, a Midwestern
professor who watches his life unravel when his wife prepares to leave
him, is yet another masterpiece written and directed by the Coen brothers.
**** The New York Times "The story is at once hilarious and horrific,
its significance both self-evident and opaque. The same could be said of
most of the Coen brothers' movies, in which human existence and the
attempt to find meaning in it are equally futile, if also sometimes a
lot of fun. (For us, at least.)"
_*Tower
*_
*Adventures of Power <
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960721/>* In his
quest to become the world's greatest air-drummer, a small-town dreamer
must overcome obstacles and ridicule to save the day in this locally
produced Sundance sleeper.
*The film's writer/director/star, Ari Gold, will be in attendance for
the 7pm shows on Fri and Sat at the Tower to chat and answer questions.
DON'T MISS IT!*
*_
Tower at Midnight
_*
*The Exorcist <
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070047/>* Something beyond
comprehension is happening to a little girl on this street, in this
house. A man has been called for as a last resort to try and save her.
That man is The Exorcist.
Presented on 35mm at the Tower on Fri and Sat at midnight and Sun at noon.

Held Over!
*_*
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."
*_
_*_*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."
*_
_**_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."
*Last Chance ... Ends Thursday 10/22!
**_The September Issue <
