14 May Nuggets from the Nugget: “Race to Witch Mountain,” “The Soloist”

Telluride's Nugget Theatre will show two movies for the week of May 15-21, Race to Witch Mountain and The Soloist. In addition there will be a Telluride Film Festival presentation of Gomorrah at 8:30 pm on Thursday, May 21.

"Race to Witch Mountain" is for the younger set. From Disney, its PG Rating is primarily for some scenes which might be frightening for sensitive youngsters. The story concerns a taxi driver who picks up a pair of aliens who look like teenagers. The kids are being pursued by the U.S, government, and must get back to Witch Mountain.

"The Soloist" (Rated PG) is based on a true story. Journalist Steve Lopez (Robert Downey jr.) discovers a child musical prodigy, Nathaniel Anthony Ayers (Jamie Foxx) existing as a homeless man in Los Angeles. The movie alternates between the present and the past in order to show how Ayers went from a life of promise to a life on the streets.
