Happenings
It is hard to believe we are coming up on the last film of August. It seems fitting that we end the month with the wry humor of Woody Allen. With “Cafe Society,” we end our summer schedule of daily shows at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. When “Jason Bourne” opens in September, we move back to our fall schedule (more on that next week). And soon the leaves will be changing colors…
‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ (PG-13; 1 hour, 41 minutes)
Raised on hip-hop and foster care, defiant city kid Ricky gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside. He quickly finds himself at home with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec (Sam Neill), and dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush in this charming, funny movie. Final screenings: 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 25.
‘Cafe Society’ (PG-13; 1 hour, 36 minutes)
Set in the 1930s, Woody Allen’s bittersweet romance follows Bronx-born Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg) to Hollywood, where he falls in love, and back to New York, where he is swept up in the vibrant world of high-society nightclub life. Centering on events in the lives of Bobby’s colorful Bronx family, the film is a glittering valentine to the movie stars, socialites, playboys, debutantes, politicians, and gangsters who epitomized the excitement and glamour of the age. Also starring Steve Carell. Playing at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., Friday-Thursday, Aug. 26-Sept. 1.
