Death Note (2006) 126 minutes Not Rated 35mm
In Japanese With English Subtitles
"Did you know Gods of Death love apples?"
The story begins when Light Yagami, an ace student
with great prospects, finds the Death Note, a notebook
dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god named Ryuk. Any
human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and
Light vows to use the power of the Death Note to rid
the world of evil. But when criminals mysteriously
begin dropping dead, the authorities send the
legendary detective L to investigate, and he is soon
hot on the trail of Light, who must reevaluate his
once-noble goal. Both Light and L believe themselves
to be on the side of justice, and the two match wits
trying to show exactly which of them is "good" and
which of them is "evil." Based on the best selling
manga.

terror-stricken village of corruption, wily masterless
samurai Sanjuro turns a range war between two evil
clans to his own advantage. Remade twice, by Sergio
Leone (A Fistful of Dollars) and Walter Hill (Last Man
Standing), this exhilarating genre-twister remains one
of the most influential and entertaining films ever

Sun.: 1:30pm, 4pm
Mon. - Thurs. 1:15pm, 6pm
Based on the Elmore Leonard story, 3:10 To Yuma is a
riveting remake of the 1957 classic Western. It's the
story of Dan Evans (Christian Bale), a down-and-out
rancher who lost his leg in the Civil War. With a wife
and two sons, he is struggling to put food on the
table, and unable to make payments on his land. When
the notorious gunman Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) is
apprehended nearby, a few local men are needed to
escort him to the town of Contention so he can be put
on the 3:10 train to Yuma Prison. Few will volunteer
for the job, as they know that Wade's ruthless gang
will follow them, but Evans sees an opportunity to
make some fast cash, and offers to go in exchange for
$200. What follows is a race against time, as the
group tries to get to Yuma without the clever and
dangerous Wade outsmarting them.
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
(2008) 118 minutes R 35mm
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
From Oscar-wining director Alex Gibney (Taxi to the
Dark Side), Gonzo is a probing look into the uncanny
life of national treasure and gonzo journalism
inventor Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. A fast moving, wildly
entertaining documentary with an iconic soundtrack,
the film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson’s
life-his intense and ill fated relationship with the
Hell’s Angels, his near-successful bid for the office
of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious story
behind the landmark work Fear and Loathing in Las
Vegas, his deep involvement in Senator George
McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign, and much more.
Narrated by Johnny Depp.
