Telluride's Nugget Theatre is showing "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" (PG) the week of Friday, January 28- Thursday, February 3. Based on the Narnia tales of C.S. Lewis, this time the entry point of the parallel universe is a painting, and the adventures of our young protagonists take place on the sailing vessel, The Dawn Treader.
The second movie for the week is "The Fighter", (rated R), set in a gritty Lowell, Mass. in the 1990s. The movie tell the story of half brothers Micky Ward and Dickie Eklund in the fight game.

Based on a true story, "The Fighter" earns its R rating on all counts, but both the critics and the audiences have praise for the movie.
