Some shuffling of the schedule again as a few moves have their release dtaes pushed to help make room. You should expect this for the remainder of the year at the very least, as their are simply too many strong releases and not enough screens. Don’t be surprised if a few interesting films end up falling off completely as well. Hopefully some of the other Independent theatres in town will snag them.
A couple of documentaries make the booking sheet this week, with We Live in Public being the most well known of the two. But the big addition is clearly the Amelia Earhart bio-pic Amelia, starring Hilary Swank, that will open on October 23rd.
But while that is the marquee addition, the one I am most anticipating is the re-release of the Akira Kurosawa classic, Rashomon, on February 12th of next year. This will be a brand new print, and as Kurosawa is one of my favorite directors, this will be a must see event. Hopefully it will be for you as well.

Too bad Rashomon can’t play at the Uptown: I would loooove to see it on that huge screen. Seeing Seven Samurai there a few years ago was amazing. Thank for the update. (Still sadly looking for my Headless Woman. Maybe Oak will screen it…)
Not recommending It Might Get Loud?
It looks like Afghan Star was dropped from the Landmark- Mpls website. Weird. Something had to go – this weekend is too packed.
It is still listed as Coming Soon, so my guess is they might just be pushing the release a week or two. Its been well reviewed, and it is a film I am hoping to watch, so I hope it still makes it here.
Oddly enough, Into Temptation’s somewhat surprising success is probably throwing things even more out of whack. What was to be just a one week release will probably play for at least a few more. Good for them.
