WINNER BEST NARRATIVE-2009 KANSAS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Kate is a rural American teenager whose angst about sexual inexperience drives a comic quest for love and understanding on a birthday to end all birthdays. Kate’s irreverent fantasies of sexual awakening and guilt, fueled by obsessive reading of books on bizarre subjects (currently the Chinese Cultural Revolution) drive this explosive day. Kate is turning 16 and has never been kissed! Before the clock strikes midnight, Kate will learn more about love than most 16-year-olds could imagine. And Kate will learn what a 16-year-old American girl has in common with a 16-year-old Chinese girl half a world, and a cultural revolution, away.

Rated NR, Running Time 109 Minutes
Movie Synopsis:
A grieving couple retreat to 'Eden,' their isolated cabin in the woods, where they hope to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse… Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg (winner of the Best Actress Award at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival) give brave, outstanding performances in the new provocation from writer/director Lars von Trier (Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville). Antichrist is a totally uncompromising psychological horror film conceived and made while the director was experiencing emotional challenges in his own life. Reviewing the intense and controversial film at its Cannes premiere, Roger Ebert called it "powerfully made" and continued: "The performances by Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg are heroic and fearless…Von Trier's visual command is striking…And if you can think beyond what he shows to what he implies, its depths are frightening…Von Trier has reached me and shaken me."

Rated NR, Running Time 92 Minutes
Movie Synopsis:
A hilarious, heart-warming comedy about deceit and integrity, friendship and folly, and the triumph of humanity over greed. Set in the beautiful Welsh valleys, it tells the story of a corrupt parish council embezzling EU money to pay for their decadent lifestyles instead of funding the cultural development of their town. They soon find themselves having to perform the unimaginable task of producing one of the great Shakespearean plays for the most important festival in the EU cultural calendar.
Cloud Nine
Opening on 02/26/2010 at the Glenwood Arts Theatre (back to top)
Rated R, Running Time 98 Minutes
Movie Synopsis:
Andreas Dresen channels the raw, in-the-moment psychodramas of John Cassavetes and the improvisatory chamber pieces of Mike Leigh in his searing Cloud 9, an emotional high wire act of a film about love, passion and sex between an elderly seamstress and a virile, 76-year-old nature boy.
"I always hoped I'd fall in love properly," says Inge (Ursula Werner), a 67-year-old stuck in a rote marriage and a dry, joyless existence. "But then I wasn't expecting it." Neither are we, when Inge suddenly falls into the arms of septuagenarian Karl (Horst Westphal), a client to whom she is delivering a pair of trousers. After a round of joyful sex, she returns to her stodgy husband Werner (Horst Rehlberg), but continues to meet Karl for afternoon trysts.

Girl On A Train
Opening on 03/19/2010 at the Glenwood Arts Theatre (back to top)
Click on the movie poster to visit the official web site
Rated NR, Running Time 105 Minutes
Movie Synopsis:
At one time or another we have all lied to protect someone else from pain, to avoid hurting the feelings of others, or to get ourselves out of a scrape. Some use deception more consciously to manipulate and gain an advantage over others. Yet most of us are also aware of the threat and the danger that lies can pose, the suffering they can bring.
The Girl on the Train is an engrossing French film directed by Andre Techine that spins off from a macabre real-life incident of a young woman's story of being attacked on a train by black and Arab youth who thought she was a Jew. It was covered from top to bottom by the media and even elicited the response of the French President to the incident. At the time anti-Semitism was again rearing its ugly head in Paris and elsewhere. Techine's creative and complex take on the story is based on a stage play by co-writer Jean-Marie Besset.
Starring Catherine Deneuve and Emilie Dequenne

Opening on 02/26/2010 at the Glenwood Arts Theatre (back to top)
Click on the movie poster to visit the official web site
Rated R, Running Time 112 Minutes
Movie Synopsis:
After almost fifty years of marriage, the Countess Sofya (Helen Mirren), Leo Tolstoy's (Christopher Plummer) devoted wife, passionate lover, muse and secretary, suddenly finds her entire world turned upside down. In the name of his newly created religion, the great Russian novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and even celibacy. When Sofya then discovers that Tolstoy's trusted disciple, Chertkov (Paul Giamatti)—whom she despises—may have secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will, leaving the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his very own family, she is consumed by righteous outrage. Into this minefield wanders Tolstoy's worshipful new assistant, the young, gullible Valentin (James McAvoy). In no time, he becomes a pawn, first of the scheming Chertkov and then of the wounded, vengeful Sofya as each plots to undermine the other's gains. Complicating Valentin's life even further is the overwhelming passion he feels for the beautiful, spirited Marsha (Kerry Condon), a free thinking adherent of Tolstoy's new religion whose unconventional attitudes about sex and love both compel and confuse him. A tale of two romances, one beginning, one near its end, The Last Station is a complex, funny, rich and emotional story about the difficulty of living with love and the impossibility of living without it.

n 1954, U.S. marshals Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), are summoned to the hospital for the criminally insane on remote and barren Shutter Island off the cost of Massachusetts to investigate the disappearance of a female murderer. Marshall Daniels is especially keen on cracking the case, for he has personal matters at stake. He suspects rampant unsavory (and illegal) treatment practices at the institution, but then clashes with Dr. John Cawley (Ben Kingsley), who refuses him access to hospital records. As a fierce storm cuts off both communication with and escape to the mainland, and dangerous criminals break loose on the island, Daniels’s grasp of the clues, his memory, his trust in his partner, and his wits begin to unravel. From Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese. Also starring Emily Mortimer, Patricia Clarkson, Michelle Williams and Max von Sydow.

Inspired by the classic film that launched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman stars Benicio Del Toro as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate in the Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother, and his brother's fiancée, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), enlists his help in the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate. As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, to end the slaughter and protect the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself... one he never imagined existed. Directed by Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer).
