The Other Man <
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0974613/>_* A taut thriller
starring Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, and Antonio Banderas, /The Other
Man/ is an intimate tale of a man who discovers his wife's infidelity
and sets out to track down his rival. Driven to pursue the mystery
surrounding his wife's adultery, he embarks on a global pursuit with a
haunted passion that begins to probe the nature not simply of jealousy,
but of loss and forgiveness.
*_
Paris <
http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/paris>_* >From the director
of /L'auberge espagnol /and /Russian Dolls /and starring Juliette
Binoche, /Paris/ is a cinematic love letter to the city that seems to
hide a story behind every shop window, small alley, street market or
grand apartment building, the film explores the life and love possible
only in PARIS.
**** Washington Post- "Paris is a funny, sad, romantic and deeply felt
love letter to a great city. If you can't book a trip now, it's the next
best thing."
_*Tower
*_*Thirst <
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0762073/>* Korean director, Park
Chan-wook (/Oldboy)/, takes on the vampire scene with this new
blood-curdling tale in which a priest, through a near-death experience,
realizes his sole reason for living: the pleasures of the flesh.
**** Time "Blending plot elements of "Double Indemnity" and "Natural
Born Killers" with the ripe sensuality of Francis Coppola's take on
"Dracula," the film should make audiences sit up in startled pleasure,
as if they'd just received the most luscious neck-bite."
*_

**Held Over!
**_
_* *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.
*_
_**_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 10/29!
