THE AMERICAN (R)
-Baxter
Ave Theatres
As an
assassin, Jack (George Clooney) is constantly on the move and
always alone. After a job in Sweden ends more harshly than
expected for this American abroad, Jack retreats to the
Italian countryside. He relishes being away from death for a
spell as he holes up in a small medieval town. While there,
Jack takes an assignment to construct a weapon for a
mysterious contact, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten). Savoring the
peaceful quietude he finds in the mountains of Abruzzo, Jack
accepts the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto (Paolo
Bonacelli) and pursues a torrid liaison with a beautiful
woman, Clara (Violante Placido). Jack and Clara's time
together evolves into a romance, one seemingly free of danger.
But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.
This suspense thriller from director Anton Corbijn
(Control) is adapted from Martin Booth's 1990 novel A
Very Private Gentleman. (Partially subtitled)

GET LOW (PG13)
-Baxter
Ave Theatres
Get
Low is inspired by the true story of Felix "Bush"
Breazeale, who attracted national attention when he threw
himself a living funeral party in 1938 in Roane County,
Tennessee. For years, townsfolk have been terrified of the
backwoods recluse known as Felix Bush (Robert Duvall). One
day, Felix rides to town with a shotgun and a wad of cash,
saying he wants to buy a funeral—a "living funeral," in which
anyone who ever had heard a story about him will come to tell
it, while he takes it all in. Sensing a big payday in the
offing, fast-talking funeral home owner Frank Quinn (Bill
Murray) enlists his gentlemanly young apprentice, Buddy
Robinson (Lucas Black), to win over Felix's business. Buddy
discovers that behind Felix's surreal plan lies a very real
and long-held secret that must get out. As the funeral
approaches, the mystery—which involves the widow Mattie Darrow
(Sissy Spacek), the only person in town who ever got close to
Felix, and the Illinois preacher Charlie Jackson (Bill Cobbs),
who refuses to speak at his former friend's funeral—only
deepens. But on the big day, Felix is in no mood to listen to
other people spinning made-up anecdotes about him. From Aaron
Schneider, director of the Academy Award-winning short Two
Soldiers.

RESTREPO (R) -Village 8 Theatres
EXCLUSIVES/NEW
RELEASES
Restrepo is
a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of
a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley.
The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, "Restrepo,"
named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. It was
considered one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S.
military. This is an entirely experiential film: the cameras
never leave the valley; there are no interviews with generals
or diplomats. The only goal is to make viewers feel as if they
have just been through a 94-minute deployment. This is war,
full stop. The conclusions are up to you. Directed by Tim
Hetherington and Sebastian Junger (author of "The Perfect
Storm").
