But when she tries it out on her husband (Jiri Sovak), she discovers he's dreaming about the hot heroine of the comic strip "Who Wants to Kill Jessie?" Worse yet, Jessie (Olga Schoberova) soon comes crashing into their lives for real - throwing them into a cartoon world of good guys and bad guys. (Not Rated) JULY 20 CARAMEL LEBANON 2008, 95 mins. Directed by Nadine Labaki. This Lebanese film follows the lives and loves of five women whose paths criss-cross in Beirut. They work and play in and around a beauty parlor where their issues involve an affair with a married man, an engagement to a stubborn alpha male, and dalliances with the customers both male and female in this sweet comedy. In Arabic and French with subtitles. (Rated PG) JULY 27 THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD KOREA 2008, 139 mins. Directed by Kim Jee-Woon. Set in the 1930s Manchurian desert where lawlessness rules and many different ethnic groups clash, three Korean men fatefully meet each other on a train. Do-won (Jung Woo-sung) is a bounty hunter who tracks down any criminals with rewards on their heads. Chang-yi (Lee Byung-hun) is the leader of a group of tough-as-nails bandits. Tae-goo (Song Kang-ho) is a train robber with nine lives. The three strangers engage in a chase across Manchuria to take possession of a map Tae-goo discovers while robbing the train. In this unpredictable, escalating battle for the map, who will stand in the end as the winner? (Rated R) AUGUST 3 THE STRAIGHT STORY U.S.A. 1999, 112 mins. Directed by David Lynch. An old man (Richard Farnsworth) buys a John Deere tractor and drives from Iowa to Wisconsin to see his estranged, ailing brother. (Rated G) AUGUST 10 AT THE EDGE OF RUSSIA RUSSIA 2011, 74 mins. Directed by Michal Marczak. Bizarre rituals help soldiers develop powerful bonds amidst the tense existence of one of the Russian army's last existing frozen outposts. In the midst of the vast and frozen nothingness, and close to a thousand miles from the nearest tree, a handful of old soldiers and one 19-year-old rookie are left to deal with themselves, the magnificent nature and the antiquated political ideas that keep them on their toes, as they ward off invisible enemies from the Russian borders. (Not Rated) AUGUST 17 BIUTIFUL SPAIN 2010, 147 mins. Directed by Alejandro Ganzalez Inarritu. Biutiful is a love story between a father and his children. This is the journey of Uxbal (Javier Bardem) a conflicted man who struggles to reconcile fatherhood, love, spirituality, crime, guilt and mortality amidst the dangerous underworld of modern Barcelona. Like life itself, this is a circular tale that ends where it begins. As fate encircles him and thresholds are crossed, a dim, redemptive road brightens, illuminating the inheritances bestowed from father to child, and the paternal guiding hand that navigates life's corridors, whether bright, bad - or biutiful. (Rated R) AUGUST 24 SILENT FILM FEST Backyard Band/with (www.backyardbandwith.com) is a simple recipe: silent films, live music and homemade pies (yes, you can have all three at the same time)! Enjoy a themed evening of unique silent films and imagery set to original, live scores by local musicians. The pie portion of the evening depends on you: it's a potluck! Share your favorite recipes and discover new taste sensations. Film + music + pie = a truly social media AUGUST 31 RAIN DATE All films, performers, and vendors are subject to change or cancellation.
