Deathlyhallows_smallteaser Tangled_smallteaser The Nugget Theatre in Telluride is showing two movies for the week of December 17-23, "Tangled" and "Harry Potter 7". Note that there are two showings for "Tangled" each evening.

"Tangled" (PG) is an animated take on the old story of Rapunzel and her golden hair. Audience reviews are mostly positive.

We're nearing the end of the Harry Potter saga, the kids have grown up, and the situations get blacker. You know you have to see "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" (PG13); you've come too far to turn back now.

The world claimed him, but Telluride loved him.

Tonight we learned of the death of Ambassador Richard Holbrooke. Telluride, his nation, and the world have lost a friend and champion. The loss of Richard Holbrooke will be felt on the world stage, but in this small town, it is very personal. The Holbrooke family has had a Telluride connection for over 20 years. Richard's sons David and Anthony are members of the community in their own right: David as a filmmaker and current Festival Director of Mountainfilm in Telluride, and Anthony as an artist who shows his work in the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art and the Ah Haa School for the Arts.

Richard Holbrooke gave generously of himself, not only as a public servant with decades of service, but in Telluride as a friend and counselor.  David Holbrooke's position with Mountainfilm in Telluride has meant that Ambassador Holbrooke from time to time led Mountainfilm roundtable discussions on issues of global importance.

Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers,
plus Sam Bush, TBF 2010

It's always exciting to see the preliminary lineup for the coming year's Telluride Bluegrass Festival. As we go through the list we look for favorites returning, and performers we don't know so well making the list, maybe for the first time.

This year's early release is no different. Brian Eyster of Planet Bluegrass cautions that there will be additions to the list, but this is the TBF lineup as we know it now. Got your tickets yet?

Thenextthreedays_smallteaser Burlesque_smallposter Telluride's Nugget Theatre has three feature films on tap for the week of December 10-16. In addition, there is the opportunity to see Ben Clark's "Ski the Himalayas" and support a worthy not-for-profit organization, the Horizon Program on Saturday, December 11 at 8:00 pm.

The week starts with "Burlesque" (rated PG-13) with the never-aging Cher; and Russell Crowe whose task is to spring from prison his wife who maybe didn't kill anyone in "The Next Three Days" (rated PG-13).

Legendoftheguardians_smallposter Ski_The_Himalayas_LARGEIMAGE All the programs on Wednesday and Thursday are showing "Legend of the Guardians: the Owls of Ga'Hoole" (PG), an animated feature about good owls and bad ones.

The Nugget Theatre in beautiful downtown Telluride will be showing "Due Date" and "Unstoppable" as the two movies for the week of December 3-9, 2010.

"Due Date" (rated R) pairs an unlikely duo, Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis ( the doofus brother in "Hangover") in an improbable cross-country road trip so Downey's character can be there for the C-section birth of his child. As in "Hangover" there is plenty of teen-boy humour of the low sort.

Denzel Washington has another impossible task in "Unstoppable" (PG13)- this time he must stop a runaway train. What's your bet?
