 BURN AFTER READING

Saturday, January 10 - Willsboro Central School - 8:00 PM

Nominated for Best Comedy by the Golden Globes. Directed by the Coen brothers and starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand.

This all-star comedy is set in the Washington world of sex, lies and surveillance. "The characters are zany, the plot coils upon itself with dizzy zeal, and the roles are a perfect fit for the actors," said Roger Ebert. Rated R for language and some sexual content.

  • "The Coen's best work since Fargo" - Chicago Reader
  • "Hilarious. The witty dialogue stays in your head for days" - USA Today
  • "Perfection!" - Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  • "An all-star farce" - Rolling Stone
  • "Delightful nonsense. I enjoyed every minute of it." - Newsweek

 

MAN ON WIRE

Saturday, January 24 - Willsboro Central School - 8:00 PM

A rare double-winner at the Sundance Film Festival for both the Audience Award and Best Documentary. Using both original footage and dramatic recreations of behind-the-scenes events, this is the breathtaking, exhilarating story of Philippe Petit's 1974 walk between the tops of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers. "You will shake your head in amazement and awe. Combines the human interest of a psychological drama with the pace of a thriller," said the Los Angeles Times. Rated PG-13.

  • "Grade A. Full of wit and wonder" - Entertainment Weekly
  • "Constructed like a first-rate thriller" - Roger Ebert
  • "Magnificent!" - Wall Street Journal
  • "Enthralling and amazing." - New York Times
  • "The film runs 95 minutes and you'll be holding your breath for most of them" - TV Guide
