Fri, August 22	7 pm	Vantage Point	PG-13
A presidential assassination attempt is told from multiple points of view in Pete Travis’s directorial debut, VANTAGE POINT. Secret Service Agents Barnes (Dennis Quaid), Taylor (Matthew Fox), and Holden (Richard T. Jones) immediately jump into action, trying to find the terrorists responsible amid all the chaos. The thriller first shows the events through the eyes of television news producer Rex Brooks (Sigourney Weaver), and then the film rewinds, replaying the action from a different point of view. Each perspective reveals a few more clues, then rewinds again, taking the audience through the assassination attempt and its aftermath again. VANTAGE POINT has the feel of the 1950 Akira Kurosawa classic RASHOMON, told with the speed of the television show 24. The rewind device could have been gimmicky, but instead Travis and first-time screenwriter Barry L. Levy make it work, as more details are revealed with each flashback, leading to a pulse-pounding chase and surprising finale.

Sat, August 23	3 pm	Jungle Book 2	G
Jungle boy Mowgli decides to forsake civilized village life for the “bare necessities” of the wild with his old friends. However, the evil tiger Shere Khan is looking for a little payback after Mowgli’s last adventure. Trouble’s a-brewing!

Sat, August 23	7 pm	Drillbit Taylor	PG-13
DRILLBIT TAYLOR tells the story of three nerdy adolescents who, on their very first day of high school, find themselves the target of a merciless, near psychotic bully. The friends band together and pool their funds to hire a personal bodyguard, Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson). Taylor, a homeless beach bum and AWOL army soldier, plans to con the kids just long enough to pull together the money needed to amscray off to Canada. A momentary flash of a conscience and a growing crush on a teacher at the boys’ high school, however, compels Drillbit to stick around, do the right thing, and ultimately save the day.

Fri, August 29	7 pm	Bank Job	R
In September 1971, thieves tunneled into the vault of a bank in London’s Baker Street and looted safe deposit boxes of cash and jewelry worth over three million pounds. None of it was recovered. Nobody was ever arrested. The robbery made headlines for a few days and then disappeared - the result of a ‘D’ Notice, gagging the press. This film reveals what was hidden for the first time. The story involves murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family - a story in which the thieves were the most innocent people involved.

Sat, August 30	3 pm	Return to Never Land	G
Even though some years have passed since we last visited, that wonderful world is unchanged. Peter Pan is there, along with Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and villainous Captain Hook. But Wendy left Never Land, grew up and now she has two children of her own. World War II is raging and has come to the very heart of London. Wendy tries to comfort her young ones with stories of her experiences in Never Land: Danny loves the bedtime tales. But 12-year-old Jane – a practical child in a world torn by war – sees no room for make-believe…at least until she’s kidnapped by Captain Hook and whisked off to Never Land! She comes to understand that imagination has a powerful magic – and many things are possible with faith, trust…and a little pixie dust. – © 2001 Disney Pictures

Sat, August 30	7 pm	Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins	PG-13
Actor-comedian Martin Lawrence plays R.J. Stevens (in truth, Roscoe Steven Jenkins), a Hollywood self-help sensation whose fame has netted him a reality television star fiancée (Joy Bryant) while simultaneously alienating his young son. Having been away from his family for nine years, prodigal son R.J. returns to Georgia to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of his parents (James Earl Jones and Margaret Avery). Upon his arrival, R.J. is given a rude awakening by his none-too-impressed siblings (Mike Epps, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Mo’Nique). R.J. must also contend with his ultra-competitive cousin Clyde (Cedric the Entertainer), the family’s presumptive “golden boy” and a long-time rival who stole the affections of R.J.’s childhood sweetheart, Lucinda (Nicole Ari Parker). Frequently bawdy but thoroughly entertaining, WELCOME HOME ROSCOE JENKINS is also a warmhearted reminder that you are where you come from, and that when searching for yourself no one can put you straight better than a loving family.
