Sexandthecity2_smallposter Shrekforeverafter_smallposter The Nugget Theatre in the heart of beautiful downtown Telluride is showing two films for the week of Friday, June 18-Thursday, June 24, plus a Telluride Film Festival presentation of "City Island" on Thursday.

"Shrek" is back in another version of the old "be careful of what you wish for" we've heard all of our lives. Shrek is tired, tired of being king, so when he is offered a deal to just be an ogre again, well... How was he to know that history is about to be re-written? Rated PG.

If you can accept the concept of our four favorite New York friends striding across the desert in the United Arab Emirates in their Manolos, "Sex and the City 2" (rated R) may be for you. Hard to say, but make mine Manhattan.

Cityisland_smallposter "City Island" has one big secret: Everyone has secrets. Andy Garcia's Vince Rizzo is a corrections officer with a yen to be an actor. He would rather have his wife believe he is having an affair than admit he is taking acting classes. Audiences have loved the movie. This Telluride Film Festival presentation is rated PG-13.

See below for movietimes, and the Nugget website for reviews and trailers.

IMGP1229 The San Miguel River flowing through Telluride is important to Jagged Edge. So maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise that Jagged Edge organized a river cleanup day last Wednesday, June 9.

IMGP1240 Erik Dalton and Cari Mackie were on the river in kayaks, representing the company. Connor Intemann and I were in kayaks, Travis Julia was manning a whitewater canoe as the "trash boat" and George Greenbank patrolled the left bank on his mountain bike.

We put in just upstream from the Town Park bridge. The river was flowing fast, bank-to-bank, but we were able to find small eddies to pull in along the way to pick up the trash we found.
