SUMMARY:Lucky - 1PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nLucky\nSunday\, October 15\, 1:00 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\, screen 4 \nDirected by: John Carroll Lynch\nCast: Harry Dean Stanton\, Ron Livingston\, Ed Begley Jr.\,\nTom Skerritt and David Lynch\nUSA / 2017 / Drama / 14A for coarse language / 86 min. \n  \n“Everything Harry Dean Stanton has done in his career\, and his life\, has brought him to his moment of triumph in “Lucky\,” an unassumingly wonderful little film about nothing in particular and everything that’s important.” – Joe Leydon\, Variety \n“A beautiful showcase for the 90-year-old Harry Dean Stanton\, giving one of the best performances of his remarkable career.” – Brian Tallerico\, RogerEbert.com \n  \nLucky follows the spiritual journey of a 90-year-old atheist and the quirky characters that inhabit his off the map desert town. Having out lived and out smoked all of his contemporaries\, the fiercely independent Lucky finds himself at the precipice of life\, thrust into a journey of self exploration\, leading towards that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment. \nAcclaimed character actor John Carroll Lynch’s directorial debut Lucky\, is at once a love letter to the life and career of Harry Dean Stanton as well as a meditation on morality\, loneliness\, spirituality\, and human connection. \n  \nAwards: \nWON – Prize of Ecumenical Jury\, Locarno International Film Festival\, 2017\nNOMINATED – Best Film\, Locarno International Film Festival\, 2017\nNOMINATED – Best Narrative Feature\, Melbourne International Film Festival\, 2017\nNOMINATED – Best Narrative Feature\, Oak Cliff Film Festival\, 2017\nNOMINATED – Adam Yauch Hörnblowér Award\, SWSW Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/225453594″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Norman - 1:30PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nNorman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer\nSunday\, October 15\, 1:30pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\, screen 1\nWritten and Directed by: Joseph Cedar\nCast: Richard Gere\, Michael Sheen\, Steve Buscemi\, Dan Stevens\, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lior Ashkenazi\nIsrael/USA / 2016 / Drama / 14A for some language\, English and Hebrew with English subtitles / 118 min. \n  \n“Gere\, who thus far has been unrecognized by the Academy\, is flat-out brilliant and deserves Oscar attention.” – Sr. Rose Pacatte\, St. Anthony Messenger \n“Gere delightfully soft-shoes his way through Norman\, surfacing the character’s loneliness without unduly exploiting it.” – Simon Houpt\, Globe and Mail \n  \nNorman Oppenheimer (Richard Gere) only wants to matter. Living a lonely life in the shadow of power and money\, he uses any angle or connection to put himself in a position of significance. He is an opportunist\, just not a very good one. Until he finally bets on the right horse by buying a pair of expensive shoes for Micha Eshel (Lior Ashkenazi)\, a lowly Israeli politician. When Micha becomes Prime Minister\, Norman finds himself in the center of a geopolitical drama beyond anything he could have imagined. Using his small-time skills\, Norman tries to solve a growingly complex puzzle with big-time implications. This everyman’s journey is filled with the comedy\, drama\, and tragedy of a man propelled out of anonymity yet ultimately too small to ever be valued. \n  \nAwards: \nNOMINATED – Best American Independent Film\, Cleveland International Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIxa7P1qF64″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

This summer starts out feeling lonely\, same as it ever was\, until she meets the outspoken and boisterous Kate (Lucinda Armstrong Hall). Though Bea and Kate are seemingly opposites\, they somehow fit together. Under Kate’s influence (and sometimes in spite of her)\, Bea starts to find her courage. But being brave has a price\, especially when it means making a difficult choice between “never squealing” and speaking out. In the end\, Bea stops being afraid\, and in the process realizes that adults are sometimes just like kids\, that best friends can be much more than friends and that\, ultimately\, love makes you stronger. \n[embed_video video_site=”vimeo” video_url=”https://vimeo.com/228771247″ video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n\nMany members of the Cast and Crew will be attending for a Q&A.

SUMMARY:Chuck - 4:30PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nChuck (aka The Bleeder)\nSunday\, October 15\, 4:30 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie\, screen 2 \nDirected by: Phillipe Falardeau\nCast: Liev Schreiber\, Elisabeth Moss\, Jim Gaffigan\, Ron Perlman and Naomi Watts\nUSA / 2016 / Drama/Biography / 14A for coarse language\, substance abuse\, graphic violence / 98 min. \n  \n“Liev Schreiber is top-notch in the lead role in this funny\, sad and warm cautionary tale.” – Bruce Demara\, Toronto Star \n  \nHe was the pride of Bayonne\, New Jersey\, a man who went fifteen rounds in the ring with Muhammad Ali\, and the real life inspiration for Rocky Balboa. But before all that\, Chuck Wepner (Liev Schreiber) was a liquor salesman and father with a modest prizefighting career whose life changed overnight when\, in 1975\, he was chosen to take on The Greatest in a highly publicized title match. It’s the beginning of a wild ride through the exhilarating highs and humbling lows of sudden fame. But what happens when your fifteen minutes in the spotlight are up? Driven by a committed performance from Liev Schreiber\, Chuck is a refreshingly human tale of resilience and redemption. \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i_7m753JBI” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]

SUMMARY:Brigsby Bear - 7:30PM
DESCRIPTION:[col_one ] \n \nBrigsby Bear\nDirected by: Dave McCarey\nCast: Mark Hamill\, Claire Danes\, Andy Samberg\, Kyle Mooney and Greg Kinnear\nUSA / 2017 / Comedy/Drama / 14A Language may offend\, substance abuse / 97 min. \nThis is not suitable for children. \nFor Tickets click here. \n  \n“Mooney and his pals have created a love letter to nostalgia. Don’t dismiss this unorthodox ode to cartoons of old — it’s a treasure.” – Jeanne Kaplan\, Kaplan v.s. Kaplan \n“Brigsby Bear crushes the big blockbusters for entertainment value and for eliciting real human emotions.” – David Kaplan\, Kaplan vs. Kaplan \n  \nSuperfan James is obsessed with the clever if quaintly goofy kids’ show Brigsby Bear to the point of religiosity. A bright\, sensitive young adult still living at home\, he has grown up with this fantasy series\, and the program has grown with him as well — getting more complex over the years. But to say James’ intensely protective parents have kept their son a bit sheltered is an understatement. One dramatic night\, James’ insular world is upended. Through the disorienting but sporadically hilarious transition to a new life that follows\, Brigsby remains James’ security blanket and\, upon learning the series has been cancelled\, he adopts the old adage that the show must go on. Family members and authority figures fret over James’ fixation\, but by becoming Brigsby Bear’s new creator instead of just a viewer in the dark\, he finally accesses all the meaningful connections his life has lacked. By telling his story\, James repairs it — producing in the process an inventively offbeat and profoundly uplifting love letter to the redemptive power of creativity. \n  \nAwards:\nWon – Best Narrative\, Provincetown International Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated – Golden Camera\, Cannes Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated – Best Film\, Jameson CineFest – Miskolc International Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated – People’s Choice (Best Narrative)\,\nMelbourne International Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated – Grand Jury Prize (Dramatic)\, Sundance Film Festival\, 2017\nNominated – Audience Award (Best Narrative Feature)\, Sydney Film Festival\, 2017 \n  \n[embed_video video_site=”youtube” video_url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPgXQnlKxqM” video_width=”640″ video_height=”360″ ] \n[/col_one]
