Ted Hoff of Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel  showed us a retrieving kitty on an earlier video. But how about the most basic of commands: Sit, Stay. Ted demonstrates that with patience Kitty can do that too. So much for conventional wisdom- "cats can't...

Aseriousman_smallposter 2012_smallposter The Nugget Theatre in beautiful downtown Telluride is showing "2012" the week of December 11-17.

What are your plans for 2013? Oh, you didn't make any? Just as well, as this movie posits the end of the world in 2012. Buildings, bridges, monuments: all fall down. There is plenty of selfishness involved- who gets on the lifeboat? Anyway, it should be entertaining. (Rated PG-13)

Pirateradio_smallposter Disneysachristmascarol_smallposter Telluride's Nugget Theatre is showing "A Christmas Carol" and "Pirate Radio" Friday-Tuesday, December 4-8. There will be three FREE screenings of "Astroboy" on Wednesday and Thursday, December 9-10.

From Disney comes an animation of Dickens' timeless "A Christmas Carol" with Jim Carey as the voice of Scrooge.

In the 1960s, the BBC would only schedule a minimum of popular music. To fill the void Radio Caroline (the Pirate Radio of this movie) was broadcasting rock 'n' roll from a ship offshore, and therein lies the tale. Come for the music if nothing else.

Astroboy_smallposter "Astroboy" is a robot with super-human powers. What's left to want? Acceptance, of course. And that's the nature of this story.

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