Telluride's Nugget Theatre is showing "Law Abiding Citizen" and "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" the week of Friday, November 6 through Thursday, November 12, with a free showing of "The Lives of Others" on Thursday. See below for movie times. See the Nugget website for trailers and previews.
"Law Abiding Citizen" stars Jamie Foxx as an assistant DA who accepts a plea bargain from a killer in order to convict the murderer's accomplice. Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) witnessed the killing of his wife and daughter and takes matters into his own hands when the killer is released fro prison after ten years. That's when things get interesting. Rated R for violence.
Telluride has lost another dear friend. Stephen Wald died last Thursday, October 22, 2009. I met Stephen nearly a quarter century ago, and my life has been better for knowing him. Our lives crossed in a number of ways besides our friendship. Stephen was a major force in the Telluride Adaptive Sports Program, where I have taught for ten years. When I was too late to register to run in the 1995 New York Marathon, Stephen made a few calls and I got in. The only quid pro quo was that I support a charity that was important to Stephen.
Stephen has been a friend of Susan's even longer than I have, through connections from her earlier life in New York. That we both knew Stephen from different paths was a wonderful surprise in our early time together.
The weather wasn't great, but Telluride kids didn't seem to care. The annual Halloween Parade went off anyway. Two things you can count on in Telluride: we love a parade, and we love to dress up. Halloween and...
I was walking Gina the Dog on a Telluride afternoon, October 28. There was a break in the storm, and the late afternoon light on the San Miguel River also highlighted the peaks behind Telluride at the end of the valley. The sadness of...

Telluride's Nugget Theatre is showing "Couples Retreat" and "Zombieland" the week of Friday, October 30-Thursday, November 5.
"Couples Retreat" (Rated PG 13) takes place in Bora Bora. Couple 1 is having some marital difficulties and for reasons of economy talks Couples 2-4 into joining the fun. Everyone gets therapy, as it turns out. And even the "happy" couples need it.
I won't say too much about "Zombieland" (Rated R for zombie violence) except to quote Roger Ebert: "...not many zombie comedies can make me think simultaneously about 'Psycho' and 'Garfield.'" He liked the movie, by the way.
See below for showtimes and the Nugget website for trailers and reviews.
Telluride will have the opportunity to see some Shakespeare tonight, October 29. The Aquila Theatre Company is bringing the Forest of Arden to the Palm Theatre stage in a single performance of "As You Like It."The romantic comedy is built on mistaken identities,...
The Nugget Theatre in beautiful downtown Telluride is showing two films this week, October 23-29, with a bonus matinee on Saturday, "No Impact Man," which tells the story of a man who decides to make no environmental impact for one year, without taking into consideration that his wife would rather go shopping.
"Fame" is a remake of the 1980 movie, and follows the lives of young people with the aim of dancing, singing, playing, acting their way to FAME.
Imagine a world in which no one lies for any reason, until one man finds that he can get what he wants (maybe) by not being so truthful. That's the premise of "The Invention of Lying" and the result should be interesting.
For reviews and trailers, check out the Nugget website. See below for schedules. Note that the 8:30 movie on Wednesday, October 28 has been cancelled.
