Nuggets from the Nugget: 9/17-23

15 Sep Nuggets from the Nugget: 9/17-23

Telluride's Nugget Theatre has three films on tap for the week of September 17-22, Friday through Wednesday, with a Telluride Film Festival presentation of "The Kids Are All Right" for two showings on Thursday, September 23. See below for showtimes, and the Nugget website for trailers and reviews.

"The Last Airbender" posits a war fomented by the Fire Nation against Air, Earth and Water. The movie is aimed at the younger set, is rated PG, and is based on a popular TV series. Many viewers and reviewers suggested it should have been done as an animated feature instead of live action.

Guy gets out of prison, talks his buddies into one big heist. Lots of gunfire, a big car chase: sounds familiar? That's much of the story in "Takers", rated PG-13.

Maybe we're too sophisticated to see that some stories COULD happpen. Unmarried woman wants a baby, considers the mostly likely father candidate too neurotic, gets the right, hunky candidate, but somehow… Fast forward seven years, and the result of this single parent childbearing seems uncannily like the neurotic friend. Go figure. "The Switch" is rated PG-13.

The Telluride Film Festival feature on Thursday, September 23 is "The Kids Are All Right", rated R. Two kids, products of a lesbian couple and an anonymous sperm donor, find their biological father. There are some interesting consequences.
