The Silence Of The Lambs
View info
A psychopath known as Buffalo Bill is kidnapping and murdering young women across the midwest. Believing it takes one to know one, the F.B.I. sends Agent Clarice Starling to interview a demented prisoner who may provide psychological insight and clues to the killer's actions. The prisoner is a psychiatrist, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant, murderous cannibal (number one on the AFI list of greastst Hollywood villains) who is more interested tormenting the agent. This twisted relationship forces Starling not only to comfort her psychological demons, but leads her face to face with a demented, heinous killer, an incarnation of evil so powerful, that she may not have the courage- or strength- to stop him! Ebert says: "The popularity of Jonathan Demme's movie is likely to last as long as there is a market for being scared." Clarice Starling is number 6 on the American Film Institute list of Hollywood's greatest heroes.

The Legend Of 1900

The story of a man who was born on, grew up on, and spent his entire life on a luxury liner, becoming an outstanding piano player and thereby earning his living, is told in flashback. This is the first English language film by the director of the highly regarded "Cinema Paradiso" and "Malena." It got mixed reviews, some feeling the sumptuous details and fantastical imaginings overwhelm thin story material, others more willing to be caught up in the magical, fairy tale like atmosphere while they concentrate on the likable Tim Roth character.

Passing Strange
Spike Lee filmed a Broadway Musical - It is a cross between a stage performance filmed and a documentary. The critics loved it.
This week at the Little Theater
In The Loop ....... is the winner of a number of awards on both sides of the Atlantic. The film deals with how government bureaucrats can make a mess out of things as the British and the Americans fight a war in the Middle East. While the bureaucrats are making a mess of things they are fodder for a quintessential British Comedy. If you like that sort of thing and you are inclined to have fun with our current circumstance, come join us and share our popcorn.
