From Tilly Gokbudak: Jason Garnett, the mgr. of the Grandin, is reportedly going to show a Chuck Norris film this month, but I don't know when! The action movie star is supporting Mike Huckabee for President, and sadly this will probably help win over voters in a place like Sioux City, Iowa!

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Master filmmaker Sidney Lumet directs this absorbing suspense thriller about a family facing the worst enemy of all itself. Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Andy, an overextended broker who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke) into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mom-and-pop jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target. The problem is, the store's owners are Andy and Hank's actual mom and pop and, when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage lands right at their doorstep. Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei plays Hoffman's trophy wife, who is having a clandestine affair with Hawke, and the stellar cast also includes Albert Finney as the family patriarch who pursues justice at all costs, completely unaware that the culprits he is hunting are his own sons. A classy, classic heist-gone-wrong drama in the tradition of The Killing and Lumet's own The Anderson Tapes, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is smart enough to know that we often have the most to fear from those who are near and dear.
Rated R - RunTime: 1:57 min.

In the Shadow of the Moon
Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. They remain the only human beings to have stood on another world.
This chronicle brings together, possibly for the first and last time, the surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission that flew to the Moon; it also allows them to tell their story in their own words. First- hand testimony is interwoven with visual archival material which has been re-mastered from the original NASA film footage--much of it never used before.
As a result, this space "epic" communicates the daring, the danger, the pride, and the promise of this extraordinary era in history when the whole world literally looked up at America.
Starring Colonel Buzz Aldrin, Captain Alan Bean, Captain Eugene Cernan, Brig. Gen. Michael Collins, Brig. Gen. Charles Duke
Rated PG - RunTime: 1:40 min.

No Country for Old Men
Based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Cormac McCarthy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug- runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (BROLIN) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law - in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell (JONES) - can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers - in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (BARDEM) - the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines.
Rated R - RunTime: 2:02 min.

Lars and the Real Girl
Written by Six Feet Under scribe Nancy Oliver, Lars and the Real Girl is a heartfelt comedy starring Academy-Award nominated Ryan Gosling as Lars Lindstrom a loveable introvert whose emotional baggage has kept him from fully embracing life. After years of what is almost solitude, he invites Bianca, a friend he met on the internet to visit him. He introduces Bianca to his Brother Gus (Paul Schneider) and his wife Karen (Emily Mortimer) and they are stunned. They don't know what to say to Lars or Bianca because she is a life-size doll, not a real person and he is treating her as though she is alive. They consult the family doctor Dagmar (Patricia Clarkson) who explains this is a delusion he's created for what reason she doesn't yet know but they should all go along with it. What follows is an emotional journey for Lars and the people around him.
Rated PG-13 - RunTime: 1:46 min.
