9big Intheloopbig The main movie at Telluride's Nugget Theatre for the week of October 16-22 is the animated "9" with one showing next Thursday of "In the Loop."

"9" (Rated PG 13 for animated violence and scary situations) paints a picture in somber tones of a post-apocalyptic world. The machines have won and it is up to nine handmade puppets to meld their strengths to prevent the total end of humanity. The effects are meant to be worth the price of admission. Showtimes are 7:00 pm nightly except for Thursday, October 22 at 6:30.

"In the Loop" (not rated) is a smart movie about how words matter, especially in the world of politics. In this case careless words push the US and Great Britain toward war with an unspecified Middle Eastern country. "In the Loop" shows at 8:30 on Thursday, October 22.

(editor's note: TIO apologizes for posting this article late. We are on the road and a few things slipped through the cracks. Mea culpa.)

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

Signatures Theinformant_smallposter The Nugget Theatre in Telluride is showing "The Informant" the week of Friday, October 9-Thursday, October 15. Showtimes for "The Informant" are 7:00 pm nightly except Saturday, October 10. On Saturday, it will play at 6:30 pm, with a special viewing of "Signatures" at 8:30.

"The Informant" (rated R for language) stars Matt Damon as a whistle-blower at Archer Daniels Midland. You don't have a story unless there are problems. In this one, the problem is Mark Whitacre (Damon). When you want to blow the whistle make sure your own situation is very clean.

"Signatures" looks like a must-see: snow-porn at its best. Shot on the northern Japanese island of Hokaido, the movie is poetry in motion.

See the showtimes schedule below, and check out the Nugget website for trailers and reiviews.

IMG_0615 Telluride Inside... and Out is just past our first birthday and we felt it was time to a look backward to get an idea if we had done what we set out to do in August, 2008. In that look over our collective shoulder, mostly we are proud of what we have created.

The concept was to build a platform to talk about the Telluride lifestyle; the people who live here; what they do when here; what they do when they leave our high mountain valley; the artists, musicians, filmmakers, visitors who come here and enrich our lives. In short: Telluride, inside and out.

The Nugget Theatre in beautiful downtown Telluride is showing "All About Steve" once each evening at 7:00 pm the week of Friday, October 2-Thursday, October 8. Rated PG-13.

Mary (Sandra Bullock) is a socially backward, over-the-top smart crossword puzzle creator who has a blind date with hunk TV cameraman Steve (Bradley Cooper). Will nerd get stud? You guess.
