The Latchis Hotel

Playing Friday October 14th - Thursday October 20th

The Guard    R

2:00 Sunday Matinee

7:00 & 9:00 Nightly

The Guard is a comedic fish-out-of-water tale of murder, blackmail, drug trafficking and rural police corruption. Two policemen must join forces to take on an international drug- smuggling gang - one, an unorthodox Irish policeman and the other, a straitlaced FBI agent. Sergeant Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleason) is an eccentric small-town cop with a confrontational and crass personality and a subversive sense of humor. A longtime policeman in County Galway, Boyle is a maverick with his own moral code. He has seen enough of the world to know there isn’t much to it and has had plenty of time to think about it. When a fellow police officer disappears and Boyle’s small town becomes key to a large drug trafficking investigation, he is forced to at least feign interest when dealing with the humorless FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) assigned to the case.

50/50       R

2:00 Saturday and Sunday Matinees

7:00 & 9:00 Nightly

Inspired by a true story, 50/50 is an original story about friendship, love, survival and finding humor in unlikely places. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen star as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis in this new comedy directed by Jonathan Levine from a script by Will Reiser. 50/50 is the story of a guy’s transformative and, yes, sometimes funny journey to health - drawing its emotional core from Will Reiser’s own experience with cancer and reminding us that friendship and love, no matter what bizarre turns they take, are the greatest healers.

Dolphin Tale   PG

2:00 Saturday and Sunday Matinees

6:45 & 8:45 Nightly

Dolphin Tale is inspired by the amazing true story of a brave dolphin and the compassionate strangers who banded together to save her life. Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail. She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter. But her fight for survival has just begun. Without a tail, Winter’s prognosis is dire. It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist, the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor, and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking miracle-a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help scores of people around the world.

October 15, 2011, 1:00-5:10 p.m.

October 16, 1:00

Anna Netrebko opens the Met season with her portrayal of the ill-fated queen driven insane by her unfaithful king. She sings one of opera’s greatest mad scenes in a production that also stars Elīna Garanča as her rival, Jane Seymour, and Ildar Abdrazakov as Henry VIII. Marco Armiliato conducts.

December 11, 1:00 p.m.

With Jonas Kaufmann in the title role, René Pape as the devil, and Angela Gheorghiu as Marguerite, Gounod’s classic retelling of the Faust legend couldn’t be better served. Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff updates the story to the first half of the 20th century with a production that won praise in London last season. A later run features another first-tier Faust cast: Roberto Alagna, Joseph Calleja, Marina Poplavskaya, and Ferruccio Furlanetto. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts on the heels of his Don Carlo success.

 

The Enchanted Island– New Production

January 21, 2012, 1:00-4:30 p.m.

January 22, 1:00 p.m.

Inspired by the musical pastiches and masques of the 18th century, the Met presents an original Baroque fantasy, featuring a who’s who of Baroque stars led by eminent conductor William Christie. With music by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and others, the new libretto by Jeremy Sams combines elements of The Tempest and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. David Daniels is Prospero, Joyce DiDonato is Sycorax, Danielle de Niese is Ariel, Luca Pisaroni is Caliban, and Plácido Domingo makesa special appearance as Neptune. Lisette Oropesa and Anthony Roth Costanzo also star. This dazzling production is directed and designed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch (Satyagraha and the Met’s 125th Anniversary Gala).

30 Minutes or Less

(83 min) Main Theatre #1  R

2:00 matinees daily

6:55 & 9:00 nightly

In the action-comedy 30 Minutes or Less, Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) is a small town pizza delivery guy whose mundane life collides with the big plans of two wanna-be criminal masterminds (Danny McBride and Nick Swardson).

The volatile duo kidnaps Nick and forces him to rob a bank. With mere hours to pull off the impossible task, Nick enlists the help of his ex-best friend, Chet (Aziz Ansari). As the clock ticks, the two must deal with the police, hired assassins, flamethrowers, and their own tumultuous relationship.

Buck
(88 min) Main Theatre #1 PG

4:00 matinees Saturday and Sunday

“Your horse is a mirror to your soul, and sometimes you may not like what you see. Sometimes, you will.” So says Buck Brannaman, a true American cowboy and sage on horseback who travels the country for nine grueling months a year helping horses with people problems.

BUCK, a richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A real life “horse-whisperer”, he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses - and people - with his understanding, compassion and respect. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American story about an unsung hero, Buck is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
(110 min) Ballroom Theatre #2  PG-13

2:00 matinees daily

6:55 & 9:05 nightly

Starring James Franco, Andy Serkis, Freida Pinto, Brian Cox

A single act of both compassion and arrogance leads to a war unlike any other — and to the Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The Oscar-winning visual effects team that brought to life the worlds of Avatar and Lord of the Rings is breaking new ground, creating a CGI ape that delivers a dramatic performance of unprecedented emotion and intelligence, and epic battles on which rest the upended destinies of man and primate.

The Help
(137 min) Theatre #3  PG-13

2:00 matinees daily

6:40 & 9:05 nightly

Starring Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard

The Help stars Emma Stone as Skeeter, Viola Davis as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny-three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk.

From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed-even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.

Crazy, Stupid, Love.
(118 min) Latchis 4  PG-13

2:00 matinees daily

6:40 nightly

Starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei

At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream-good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart. But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels.

Worse, in today’s single world, Cal, who hasn’t dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protégé to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling).

Cowboys & Aliens
(118 min) Latchis 4  PG-13

no matinees

9:00 nightly

Starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell

1875. New Mexico Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford).

It’s a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force.

BUCK

Greetings!

There are a lot of things going on at the Latchis these days.  

 

If you’re downtown, take a look at the Hotel lobby - it’s getting a well-deserved facelift.  Hotel Manager Jonathan Jensen has done a terrific job giving the old place a new sparkle.  Our many returning hotel guests are giving the new look great reviews.  Look for a collection of fascinating sculptures in the windows when we’re done.  Kathy Gatto-Gurney is ready when we are. 

 

Also new at the Hotel will be a refreshed terrazzo entryway.  The Town took up the old bits of terrazzo during sidewalk re-construction, to make way for a new application by local artisans Rich Holschuh of Concrete Detail, and Glenn Rosinski of Rosinski Masonry.   

 

New at the Latchis Theatre are Theatre Manager Darren Goldsmith’s movie picks - a weekly feature for Saturdays and Sundays at 4:00, adding a new layer of well-received art and independent films to our regular schedule.  Coming August 13 and 14 is Buck, a documentary about the real and original horse whisperer, Buck Brannaman.  If you have a horse-lover in your house, do not let them miss Buck.

 

The following weekends will feature buddy food movie  The Trip; BrattFlicks’ presentation of the 1987 cult classic for all ages, The Princess Bride;   Project Nim, a fascinating documentary of chimps and men; and the immigrant drama A Better Life.  

 

If you would like to get Darren’s weekly movie updates go to latchis.com and sign on up.  We’ll get you right in the loop.

 

The marquee?  Well, what can I say…the process is coming along.  Not much to share.  Stay tuned.
