Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action
and violence, and some language
2 hours 5 minutes
(5:00 SatSun, 7:30 Mon) BABIES
Is there anything cuter than babies? This adorable documentary following
the first year of infants in four very different cultures--Mongolia, Namibia,
Japan, and the U.S.--will
have you smiling for sure.
Rated PG for cultural and maternal nudity
1 hour 30 minutes

July 13, 14
& 15 (TWTh) MID-AUGUST
LUNCH
Pretty dry title for a charming Italian comedy about a middle-aged man
suddenly saddled with the care of not just his own mother, but three more
feisty old ladies as well, as everyone else goes off on summer holiday. A
nice bookend for last weekend’s Babies.
Unrated, but looks to be about a PG-13
1 hour 20 minutes

July 16-22
(Fri-Thu) SHREK
FOREVER AFTER
The loveable ogre
finds himself in the world of might-have-been in this finale to the popular animated
series. By making a deal with the canny Rumpelstilskin for one day of his old
ogre-ish life back in exchange for a day of Rumpy’s choosing, Shrek
unwittingly sets into action events that turn the kingdom of Far Far Away
upside down.
Rated PG for mild action, some rude
humor, and language
1 hour 35 minutes

FOREVER AFTER
Last three chances to
see Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and my own personal favorite—Puss-in- Boots, who in
this alternative universe is too fat to fit into his footwear.
Rated PG for mild action, some rude
humor, and language
1 hour 35 minutes
(7:30
SatSunMon) SEX
AND THE CITY 2
Tired of their
routines in New York City, the gal pals head for an all-expenses-paid stay at
a swanky desert resort. Picture them changing their clothes three times a day
in Abu Dhabi,
and already you’re laughing. Cosmos, anyone? We’re
having another Ladies Night on First
Street with Prima,
with the SATC signature drink only $5 before and after the movie on Sunday night. Click here for
details, and bring your own posse (or is the female version possée?).
Rated R for some strong sexual content
and language
2 hours 30 minutes

July 27,
28 & 29 (TWTh) OCEANS
Another stunning
documentary from Disney Nature. This time the two Frenchmen behind Winged Migration have turned to the beauties and oddities beneath
the ocean, catching life-and-death dramas and moments of visual poetry that
you just cannot believe. The film makes you realize what may have been lost
when that oil spilled in the Gulf.

Owen Wilson gives
voice to the naughty Great Dane in this live-action family comedy.

1 hour 30 minutes
(7:30
SatSunMon) THE KILLERS
In this action comedy starring Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher a suburban
woman is surprised to discover that her new husband is really an
international super-spy. Now she’s working out some major trust issues
while dodging bullets, keeping up neighborly appearances, and managing her
in-laws.
Rated PG-13 for violent action, sexual
material, and language
1 hour 40 minutes

August 3,
4 & 5 (TWTh) MICMACS
The title of this zany French comedy from the creator of Amélie translates
as “shenanigans,” and there are definitely some weird shenanigans going on as
a ragtag band of artists, recyclers, and circus performers take on two arms
dealers who have ruined the life of the hapless Bazil. If it weren’t for some
humorous nudity and sex, this film is so wildly inventive that it would
actually be a “slam-dunk family classic” according to Minneapolis Star
Tribune reviewer Colin Covert.
Rated R for some sexuality and brief
violence
1 hour 45 minutes

August 6-12
(Fri-Thu) TOY STORY 3
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen return to voice Woody and Buzz in an animated film
that asks the question: Where do toys go when their owners grow up? I know
plenty of mine are still in my mother’s basement 50 years later, but that’s
beside the point. Pixar has a winner once again—a film that combines humor
and poignancy in just the right proportions.

they’ve been consigned.

(7:30
SatSunMon) THE A-TEAM
There’s nothing so
satisfying as a wisecracking B-movie and a bag of popcorn on a summer
evening. Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper
bring the action movie to its most preposterous level—guys shooting from a
tank descending by parachute, anyone?--and I pity the fool who doesn’t enjoy
it.
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action
violence throughout, language, and smoking
2 hours

17, 18 & 19 (TWTh) TWILIGHT:
ECLIPSE
Jeepers, can’t she just pick one and put us all out of our misery? But the
vampire and the werewolf who love mere mortal Bella (at least Sookie has ESP)
must actually become allies in order to save her from a vengeful vamp played
by Bryce Dallas Howard. Your wait is
over, TwiHards.
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action

(7:30 Fri, 5:00 SatSunMon) THE KARATE
KID
Talented Hollywood
spawn Jaden Smith and Chinese martial-arts legend Jackie
Chan breathe new life into the original story of perseverance and
cross-generational friendship, now set in modern China.
Rated PG for bullying, martial-arts
action/violence, and some mild language
2 hour 25 minutes
(7:30 SatSunMon) KNIGHT AND
DAY
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz at their most adorable (which is a considerable
amount between the two of them) travel the globe on some secret mission we
really don’t need the details of. San Francisco Chronicle reviewer
Mick LaSalle called the film “a high-functioning entertainment machine,
guaranteed to please just about everyone who isn’t determined to be
grumpy.” Sounds like fun to me.
Rated PG-13 for sequences of action
violence throughout and brief strong language

SatSun, 7:30 Mon) DESPICABLE ME
Animated comedy
voiced by Steve Carell as the oddly-accented Gru, a super-villain intent on
stealing the Moon who begins to lose focus once three orphaned little girls
show up on his doorstep. It’s so hard to pull off an evil heist with
high-tech weaponry while tying your third pair of pink shoelaces.
Rated PG for rude humor and mild action
1 hour 35 minutes
(2:00 Sun) BENEATH THE SALISH SEA
Back by popular demand for those weekenders, snowbirds, and
winter-vacationers who missed deep-water photographer Florian Graner’s
wonderful exploration of the life below Holmes Harbor
and out into the Sound the first four times we showed it. One of the most popular films at The Clyde
this year—and made by a local.
Not rated--suitable for all ages
1 hour 25 minutes

Sept 1 & 2 (TWTh) ONDINE
A real charmer. Colin Farrell stars in this contemporary fairy tale about an
Irish fisherman who finds a mysterious woman in his net. Is she just a
woman—or a selkie, as the fisherman’s young daughter believes?
Rated PG-13 for some violence, sensuality,
and brief strong language
