Frances Ha
Opening on 05/31/2013 (back to top)

Rated NR, Running Time 86 Minutes

Movie Synopsis:

REVIEW FROM TIFF

Noah Baumbach’s latest feature, Frances Ha, was a pleasant surprise when the TIFF line-up was first announced. No one had known he was making it, nor that he was re-teaming with Greta Gerwig once more, following Greenberg, with the pair writing the script together. The writer-director’s name is one of the most well-known in the world of American independent film, and deservedly so. With Frances Ha, he brings us yet another brilliant dramatic comedy for us to fall in love with.

Gerwig stars as the eponymous young Frances, living in New York with her best friend, Sophie (Mickey Sumner), who treat the world as their playground, and the duo are, as they say, “like a lesbian couple that doesn’t have sex anymore.”

But when Sophie decides it is time for her to move out and start focusing on her life – i.e. time to grow up – Frances opts instead to stay young, moving in with a pair of young bachelors. As a struggling dancer with hopes of permanently joining a dance company, she teaches dance to a class of young children, just about enough to almost make ends meet in her new place with the boys. Though she and Sophie remain friends in name, they slowly but surely drift apart as time passes, becoming less and less like friends in fact, and Frances finds herself face-to-face with her own life and what might become of it.

Because the genre is so frequently tapped, the dramatic comedy is, in my mind, one of the hardest to pull off successfully – there is much mediocrity that nevertheless seems to succeed, which makes it all the harder for the gems to break through. Frances Ha is such a gem, and I have high hopes for a strong reception upon release.

Shot in beautiful black and white, Baumbach gives us a new and wonderful look at the New York of today and the youth that keeps it alive. If you’ve seen his work before – whether something he’s written and directed, or something he’s co-written – you’ll know how incredibly talented he is from the page through to the screen. And if you’re coming to him for the first time, you’ll instantly recognise what a talented writer-director he is, and why he is held in such high esteem.

One of the sweetest and funniest films of the year. Frances Ha is a wonderful story about growing up, staying young, about love, life, friendship, and what happens to it all over time. Baumbach and Gerwig’s script is utterly flawless, giving us an intricate yet delicate portrait of its eponymous character, and the camera absolutely adores her – and we, in turn, fall in love with Gerwig as the young Frances. She is truly one of the most promising actresses to rise in recent years, and one of the most promising young writers, too.

Honor Flight - One Show - June 5th - 7:00pm
Opening on 05/31/2013 (back to top)

Click on the movie poster to visit the official web site
Rated NR, Running Time 82 Minutes

Movie Synopsis:

In honor of the 69th anniversary of D-Day, join us at the Glenwood Arts Theatre for the premiere of the award-winning, record-breaking documentary Honor Flight: One Last Mission. Help us celebrate our Greatest Generation and honor the service and sacrifice of our World War II veterans.

Honor Flight is a heartwarming documentary about four WWII veterans and their Wisconsin community coming together to give them the trip of a lifetime. Volunteers race against the clock to fly thousands of WWII veterans to Washington, DC to see the memorial constructed for them in 2005, nearly 60 years after the War. The trips are called "Honor Flights" and, for the veterans, who are in their late 80s and early 90s, it's often the first time they've been thanked and the last trip of their lives.

The film features the stories of four WWII veterans: Orville Lemke, a former plumber and father of nine who fights to hold off terminal cancer so he can make the trip; Julian Plaster, an 89-year-old poet who has survived almost all his friends and family; Harvey Kurtz, a comedic character who bags groceries at the local Pick n' Save and saw the iconic American flag raised at the Battle of Iwo Jima; and Joe Demler, a soft-spoken retired postmaster who was famously pictured in Life magazine as the "Human Skeleton" upon his liberation from a German POW camp.

This special screening is sponsored by Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care, Heartland Honor Flight Network, Carondelet Home Care, Carondelet Care Resources, Cremation Society of Kansas & Missouri, Porter Funeral Homes and HMP DME Services. All proceeds will benefit Heartland Honor Flight Network and We Honor Veterans.

More Than Honey-June 13th - 7:30 pm
Opening on 06/07/2013 (back to top)

Rated NR, Running Time 95 Minutes

Movie Synopsis:

ONE SHOW ONLY as part of our weekly first run independent film series. Part of the proceeds will benefit the Kansas International Film Festival this Oct. 4-10th, 2013.

This movie is like honey to your visual senses. With picturesque Switzerland in the background, it is shown how bees were kept in the past. And how nowadays massive commercial beekeeping takes place in North America. Like a traveling circus, the bees are shipped from one place to the next to pollinate flowers of various fruits and nuts with total disrespect. You can't help pity the poor creatures, as their owners can only think of money, and have no love.

This movie is a cinematographic masterpiece that tells you about the crises the bees are currently in. Colonies collapse without a clear reason. Like with the bio-industry, it makes you think that this is not the way to treat other animals, even if they are insects. Colony collapse? I think it's just the bees way of going on strike.
