The Girl Who Played With Fire
Friday, 09/03 - Thursday, 09/09

The sequel to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire is the second installment of author Stieg Larsson's best-selling Millennium trilogy. When a woman with a troubled past is accused of murder in this Swedish thriller, both she and a prominent magazine publisher go up against political corruption as they try to find the truth before it is too late.

The LA Times raved: "Watching Rapace burrow deep inside Lisbeth's damaged mind, body and soul is its own sort of twisted pleasure. It is a character fully exposed: the dragon inked from shoulder blades to bum, muscles encasing her body in wiry knots; furtive glances, never holding on a face unless it's someone she is about to deliver from this life; so vulnerable that it's heartbreaking when you see it; so slight she should get lost in crowds; holding the screen with the force of those dark undercurrents flowing through her."




Get Low
Friday, 09/10 - Thursday, 09/16
getlow Featuring unforgettable performances from Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, and Sissy Spacek, Get Low is based on an American folktale that has been passed down by storytellers for decades, spreading across distance and time to take on the proportions of a larger-than-life legend: that of the eccentric hermit known as Felix “Bush,” who temporarily came out of hiding to throw a grand funeral bash for himself while he was still very much alive and kicking. Now, the story has taken on another incarnation: inspiring a motion picture that peers behind the folklore to unfold the colorful drama of a man‘s last-ditch quest for redemption.

To draw a crowd to this highly irregular memorial, Felix sold lottery tickets offering his valuable plot of land as the prize; and the ploy worked. In the end, it was said that as many as 12,000 mourners from at least 14 different states showed up on June 26, 1938 -- including a Life Magazine photographer and major newspaper reporters -- to pay their respects to Felix... as he watched it all transpire.

In a rave review, The Wall Street Journal called Get Low "essential viewing."
