Movies This Week: The Secret of Iron Man Babies
So The Good, The Bad, The Weird has been held over at Lamar, and that makes me oh so very happy. There's not much coming out this week, but that's no surprise, who wants to take on Iron Man as he takes over the cineplexes? But there are a few new options out there.
Babies -- This doc features a year in the lives of four babies in very different places around the world, including San Francisco, Mongolia, Japan and Nambia. Check out Debbie's review. (wide)
Iron Man 2 -- Tony Stark returns with a vengeance, but so does the son of his father's rival. While it might not be as amazing as the first, it is summer blockbuster fare well worthy of your movie dollars. Read my review here. (wide)
Killing Kasztner: The Jew Who Dealt With Nazis -- Israel Kasztner was a Hungarian Jew who helped Jews escape only to be assassinated after accusations of collaboration. (Arbor)
The Secret of Kells (pictured above) -- Ever hear of the Book of Kells? Well there's an animated story of the boy behind the priceless illuminated manuscript created by Celtic monks in the 9th century. Brendan Gleeson does one of the voices. (Dobie)
Check our event calendar for special film events, and our personal picks below. Don't forget you can always alert us to special screenings, new film series, etc.
Debbie -- I'll be heading to West Texas myself for a scenic photo adventure, but not quite as far as Jette. After reading Jette's commentary on Gold Class Cinemas, I think I'll make my weekend away up to the fiance with a date night to see Iron Man 2. Figure we need to visit at least once, and then save our money to purchase matching recliners.
Jenn -- Still recovering. Slowly. Actually wish I was up in Maryland to see see
Jette -- I'm at Marfa Film Festival this weekend, but if I were home you can bet I'd be attending the best movie pick for a Mother's Day brunch ever: the aGLIFF-sponsored screening of Mommie Dearest at Alamo Ritz on Sunday afternoon. Brunch extras include wire hangers and cupcakes.
