Pre-show events - live music, food, picnic - starts at 6:00. Arrive early for best lawn seating. Film starts at dusk - 8:30. "A classic of corn, small town nostalgia and American love of a parade." - Variety The Music Man was one of the last great movie musicals from any studio, and it proved to be that rarest of events: a Broadway show that was measurably improved by its transition to the screen. Robert Preston made his musical debut--both live and on film--as "Professor" Harold Hill, the upbeat charlatan who promises to teach a small-town boys band by the "think system." But it's the part Preston was born to play and the one for which he will always be best remembered. Composer Meredith Willson based The Music Man on his own small-town Midwestern boyhood, circa 1912, a quasi-mythical place where the old-maid librarian looks and sings like Shirley Jones. The boy himself is an adorable Ron Howard, lisp-singing "Gary, Indiana." Willson's entire score, featuring a combination of what are now standards, such as "Goodnight My Someone" and "Till There Was You" and show-specific numbers ("Trouble," "76 Trombones"), is never less than infectious. This dazzling special edition is also as bright and sunny as any 4th of July in Iowa could ever hope to be. Blu Ray and surround sound. Starring: Rated G, Run Time: 151 mins New

2010 Academy Award Winner - Best Foreign Language
Film The Secret in Their Eyes was the surprise
winner of the Oscar for best foreign-language film. After
finally getting to see it, I understood why the Argentine
thriller beat the favorites, France's A Prophet and
Germany's The White Ribbon. Juan Jose Campanella's drama
about a retired investigator who decides to write a book about
a 25-year-old murder case is much more than a noirish crime
story. It's a piercing exploration of obsessive love,
unfulfilled desire and fragmented memory. When Benjamin
(Ricardo Darin) starts re-examining the rape and killing of a
gorgeous young woman in 1974, he reconnects with Irene (Soledad
Villamil), a classy former colleague who is now a married
judge. Benjamin has been secretly in love with Irene for
decades and his unrequited passion has left him with a hollow
feeling. Told primarily in flashbacks, the film recounts how
Benjamin and his alcoholic partner Sandoval (Guillermo
Francella) tracked down the killer (Javier Godino), only to see
him released from prison to become an informer for the
repressive state police. Fearful that he will seek revenge,
Benjamin leaves Buenos Aires without telling Irene that he
loves her. He remains haunted by memories of her and the murder
victim's husband, a bank worker who never recovers from the
tragedy. A quarter-century later, Benjamin must resolve those
lingering emotions before moving on with his life. Beautifully acted and imaginatively shot, The Secrets in Their Eyes is a murder mystery with a poetic soul.

"Awesome! An exploded grandfather clock of a movie." -The Village Voice Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet Cast: Dany Boon, Andrè Dussollier, Omar Sy, Dominique Pinon, Julie Ferrier, Nicolas Mariè 104 minutes. Rated R sex and violence. In French with subtitles. Micmacs is a whimsical whirligig of a movie filled with salvaged metal and salvaged lives, where a bullet to the brain brings insight and a bunch of clever misfits brings a couple of weapons-making giants to their knees. What fun. This good-versus-evil fable soon reveals itself to be a wide-ranging philosophical playground for French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet as he settles into a Paris junkyard where discards, human and otherwise, find a second life. Bazil is our hero. Orphaned when his father was blown to bits by a land mine, heros grown up to be a video-store clerk content to pass the time watching classic films. A stray bullet from a drive-by changes everything. Both Bazil and his world are infused with a surreal circus quality to start with, but that sensibility grows sharper when he's taken in by a collection of freaks who make their home in the scrapyard. In Paris, even the dumps are beautiful. As much sheer pleasure as there is to this comeuppance story, the look of the film pulls more than its weight in layering in context. But whatever the influences, Micmacs is ultimately shaped by Jeunet's unique creative vision -- a fun house of mirrors that is lovely to get lost in.
