By Jim O’DonnellNow that school is starting back up we have an opportunity to show films that are geared more toward the adult patrons. We have several films that we didn’t have a screen for when they opened, so we have some catching up to do. Most of these will run for one week only.
On my short list are Ricki and the Flash, The Gift and Papertown. On my wish list are I’ll see you in my Dreams; Love and Mercy; Me, Earl and the Dying Girl and Far from the Madding Crowd.
This Friday we are opening Mr. Holmes, Southpaw, and Fantastic Four. Mission Impossible will hold for one more week.

MR. HOLMES is a new twist on the world’s most famous detective. In 1947, an aging Sherlock Holmes returns from a journey to Japan, where, in search of a rare plant with powerful restorative qualities, he has witnessed the devastation of nuclear warfare. Now, in his remote seaside farmhouse, Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees, with only the company of his housekeeper and her young son, Roger. Grappling with the diminishing powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement, and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love – before it’s too late. ~RT (C) Roadside Attractions Rating: PG (for thematic elements, some disturbing images and incidental smoking)

Billy Hope seemingly has it all with an impressive career, a beautiful and loving wife (Rachel McAdams), an adorable daughter (Oona Laurence) and a lavish lifestyle. When tragedy strikes and his lifelong manager and friend (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson) leaves him behind, Hope hits rock bottom and turns to an unlikely savior at a run-down local gym: Tick Willis (Academy Award (R) winner Forest Whitaker), a retired fighter and trainer to the city’s toughest amateur boxers. With his future riding on Tick’s guidance and tenacity, Billy enters the hardest battle of his life as he struggles with redemption and to win back the trust of those he loves.~ RT (C) Weinstein Rating: R (for language throughout, and some violence) Genre: Drama
