Weekend Film Update

01
Jul
2011

Showing exclusively at the Cleveland Cinematheque this weekend is the latest from Japanese mad genius Takashi Miike, director of such films as Audition, Ichi the Killer and Sukiyaki Western Django. One of the most critically acclaimed films of the year, 13 Assassins follows a samurai who recruits an elite team of assassins to hunt down the Shogun’s evil brother. Catch the film on Friday, July 1 at 7:30pm and Saturday, July 2 at 9:05pm. In limited release and opening at the Cedar Lee in Cleveland today is Buck. A hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the film is a critically acclaimed documentary that centers on Buck Brannaman, a living legend in the horse world and inspiration for the best-selling novel and film The Horse Whisperer. Buck was known as a man who almost possessed near magical abilities as he taught not only horses but human beings understanding and respect. In wide release this week at a multiplex near you is Larry Crowne. The stars align for this new dramedy, which joins box office powerhouses Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in a comedic romance that is bound to sell a few movie tickets. After being laid off from his cush job, the middle aged and desperate Larry Crowne (Hanks) decides to head to college to start anew and in the process falls for his teacher (Roberts). The film was co-written and directed by Hanks and is only his second time behind the camera since 1996’s That Thing You Do.
