What’s opening Friday, Sept. 26?
Provided anyone can afford to go to movie theaters now (sarcasm), the offerings this week are solid prospects.
Eagle Eye: A young man (Shia LaBeouf) and a single mom (Michelle Monaghan) become unwitting members of a terrorist cell in this techno-thriller from the crew that brought you Disturbia. My review will post tomorrow.
Miracle at St. Anna: A murder sets in motion an investigation that leads back to the experiences of a battalion of black American soldiers who became trapped in a Tuscan village during WWII. I’m always curious to see any film directed by Spike Lee, but the general consensus seems to be that he’s missed with this one.
Nights in Rodanthe: A doctor (Richard Gere) sparks romance with an unhappily married woman (Diane Lane) at a North Carolina inn. It looks terribly treacly to me, but then I thought the same thing about The Notebook until I actually saw it. We’ll see.
At the arthouses
The Neon in Dayton opens Baghead and starts the annual LGBT film festival (see their MySpace for details.) The Little Art in Yellow Springs plays The Women, Hamlet 2 and Dalia Lama Renaissance
The Celluloid Society
Middletown’s Celluloid Society, a group of local film buffs, kicks off its second film series this year, screening DVDs at the Middletown Public Library at 125 S. Broad St. on one Sunday every month. This Sunday at 2 p.m.: Valley of the Dolls, billed by the society as “the best bad movie ever made!” Coming next month, on Oct. 12: Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams.
