Nuggets from the Nugget: 1/21-27
Telluride's Nugget Theatre is showing two movies for the week of Friday, January 21 through Thursday, January 27, plus a Telluride Film Festival presentation of "Fair Game" at 8:30 pm on January 27.
Avaricious politicians, rapacious developers, a pair of cartoon bears- those of a certain age will remember the antics of Yogi, the pic-a-nik basket-stealing bear and his timid sidekick, Boo Boo. The shtick may be a little tired, but your kids will love it. "Yogi Bear" is rated PG.
"Gulliver's Travels" (PG) is not Jonathan Swift, but it does have Lilliputians and a protagonist, in this case Lemuel Gulliver, mail clerk to travel writer to hero to little people. And the little people should enjoy it.
Naomi Watts is Valerie Plame and Sean Penn is her husband Joe Wilson in "Fair Game" (PG13) portrayal of the Bush administration's betrayal of Plame to discredit her husband in the run-up to the Iraq war.
