What’s new in movie theaters this week?
A Jackie Robinson biopic. Scary Movie 5 (wish I were kidding).
And, most promisingly, director Derek Cianfrance’s The Place Beyond the Pines (pictured), in which Ryan Gosling does his Ryan Gosling thing and Bradley Cooper gives his second sterling performance, or so I have heard. It’s at the Roxy and Savoy.
This weekend also brings us a glut of one-time or rare screenings, so take out your calendars:
On Friday, the annual LunaFest, a benefit for Vermont Works for Women and the Breast Cancer Fund, brings a program of nine short films to Burlington. They include narratives, documentaries and animation — all by and about women. This year, one nonfiction selection profiles Georgena Terry, founder of Burlington-based Terry Precision Cycling.
Terry doesn’t live in Vermont, but filmmaker Bess O’Brien does. Catch her speech at the reception.
Speaking of O’Brien, her husband, Jay Craven, will premiere his new movie this week at five locations.
