Stephen Frears, director
of THE QUEEN and HIGH FIDELITY, continues to demonstrate
his genre-defying talent with this adaptation of a
Colette novel. Set in Paris in the years before World
War I, CHERI paints a picture of the romance between
young Chéri (Rupert Friend) and retired courtesan
Léa (Michelle Pfeiffer). Chéri’s
mother (Kathy Bates), a rival of Léa, plots
to separate the pair by arranging a marriage between
her son and Edmée (Felicity Jones). Screenwriter
Christopher Hampton previously collaborated with the
director on DANGEROUS LIAISONS.

Impeccable production
values, faithfully recreating 15th century France,
enhance this fabulous remake (the 1923 version featured
Lon Chaney) of Victor Hugo's immortal beauty and the
beast story. Charles Laughton is unforgettable as
Quasimodo, deformed bell-ringer at Notre Dame cathedral
and Maureen O'Hara matches him every step of the way
as the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda.

Strongly vilified and modestly praised when released in the summer of 1969, Sam Peckinpah's ode to a changing landscape is now considered a landmark achievement in American film making. After a botched robbery, aging outlaw Pike Bishop and his gang cross the Rio Grande into Mexico, with railroad bounty hunters in hot pursuit. The outlaws become involved with a Mexican general who hires them to rob a U.S. Army train carrying weapons and ammunition. World class photography, editing, acting (William Holden, Ernest Borgnine and Robert Ryan standout in an excellent cast) and direction make this a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. Jerry Fielding's musical score and the story and screenplay (a collaboration between Walon Green and Peckinpah) received well deserved Oscar nominations.

A disheveled looking man enters the LAPD homicide division to report a murder. "Who was murdered?" asks a detective. "I was" is the reply. Accountant Frank Bigelow has been slipped a dose of slow-acting poison for which there is no antidote. He has 48 hours to determine who killed him and why. This terrifically tense, innovative plot by Clarence Greene and Russel Rouse provided Edmond O'Brien with one of the best roles of his underrated career. The pulse-pounding score is by Dimitri Tiomkin.

The wife and mistress of a cruel boarding school headmaster plot to kill him. After the murder is committed, his body disappears and some very strange events begin to occur. Director Henri-Georges Clouzot's macabre masterpiece starts leisurely and builds tension to a terrifying degree. You're made of stern stuff if the last 15 minutes isn't a hair-raising experience. Kudos to Vera Clouzot, Simone Signoret, Paul Meurisse, with a special nod to Charles Vanel as the wise old inspector seeking the truth.

It is the near
future. Astronaut Sam Bell is living on the far side
of the moon, completing a three-year contract with
Lunar Industries to mine Earth’s primary source
of energy, Helium-3. It is a lonely job, made harder
by a broken satellite that allows no live communications
home. Taped messages are all Sam can send and receive.
Thankfully, his time on the moon is nearly over, and
Sam will be reunited with his wife, Tess, and their
three-year-old daughter, Eve, in only a few short
weeks. Finally, he will leave the isolation of “Sarang,”
the moon base that has been his home for so long,
and he will finally have someone to talk to beyond
“Gerty,” the base’s well-intentioned,
but rather uncomplicated computer.
Suddenly, Sam’s health starts to deteriorate.
Painful headaches, hallucinations and a lack of focus
lead to an almost fatal accident on a routine drive
on the moon in a lunar rover. While recuperating back
at the base (with no memory of how he got there),
Sam meets a younger, angrier version of himself, who
claims to be there to fulfill the same three year
contract Sam started all those years ago.
Confined with what appears to be a clone of his earlier
self, and with a “support crew” on its
way to help put the base back into productive order,
Sam is fighting the clock to discover what’s
going on and where he fits into company plans.

Interesting to see forensic investigation a plot element in a 60 year old movie. The fact that the cop is Hispanic (Ricardo Montalban playing Lt. Pete Morales) is also a unique aspect of this provocative, superbly handled murder mystery. The fine cast includes Sally Forrest, Bruce Bennett, Marshall Thompson, Elsa Lanchester and Jan Sterling. Filmed on location by expert cinematographer John Alton.

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil
on our nation’s food industry, exposing the
highly mechanized underbelly that’s been hidden
from the American consumer with the consent of our
government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA.
Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by
a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead
of consumer health, the livelihood of the American
farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment.
Food, Inc. reveals surprising — and often shocking
truths — about what we eat, how it’s produced,
who we have become as a nation and where we are going
from here.

What happens when you’re asked to build the city of tomorrow… today?

Funny and poignant, The Greening of Southie is a story of bold ideas, new environmentalists, and the future of urban America.
Created by King Corn’s Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, The Greening of Southie features innovative time-lapse animation, cinematography by Taylor Gentry, and music by Force Theory.
