The sun will shine on the 34th annual Telluride Jazz Celebration – at least when vocalist Jackie Ryan steps onstage.
If you missed "Toy Story 3" or "Knight and Day" at Telluride's Nugget Theatre last week, you have another chance. See last week's post.
New at the Nugget this week is "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse", rated PG13. Set in Seattle, this third film in a series pits a 109-year-old vampire against a werewolf for the affections of a young woman. Lots of vampires around the past few seasons, and some werewolves to add a little heat to the chill of the undead probably is a good idea.
On Thursday, July 29, Paragon/Bootdoctors presents "Ride the Divide", a feature length documentary about the longest mountain bike race.
See below for movietimes, and the Nugget website for trailers and reviews.
The 34th annual Telluride Jazz Celebration welcomes Guest of Honor, award-winnning (Downbeat polls, Grammy nominations, etc.) arranger-pianist-bandleader Toshiko Akiyoshi.

When Telluride Inside... and Out first heard the term "Americana" attached to "music," the words were used to describe Grammy-winner and Telluride Bluegrass Festival regular Tim O'Brien's hybrid of country, folk, bluegrass and swing. Americana is music with a comfortable back-porch feel.
Co-producers (Barbed Wire Productions/Sheridan Arts Foundation) of the Telluride Americana mini-Fest, July 21-24 sum up their event this way: "Americana, roots, blues, folk with a kick, and country with a rock ‘n roll heart."
Jennie Franks of the Telluride Playwrights Festival discovered the play in the process of creating her 2010 season. It was Franks who suggested the joint venture with the Telluride Repertory Theatre, the play's producer. "This Isn't What It Looks LIke" is being staged at Telluride's Palm Theatre, July 15 – July 18, with the audience sitting in the round on stage with the action. Show time is 7:30 p.m.
The Nugget Theatre in beautiful downtown Telluride is busy this week, primarily because Nothing is happening. The Nothing Festival, that is. To celebrate Nothing, the Nugget is showing "Karate Kid" 5 times for nothing on Friday and Saturday, July 16, 17, including a Saturday matinee. Boy, that takes me back; I mean the Saturday matinee!
Because the schedule is a bit complicated, be sure to check below the fold for movietimes and the Nugget website for reviews and trailers.
"Karate Kid" is a remake of the 1984 classic, and largely follows the plot line of the original: displaced kid, young love, a bully, a kindly maintenance man with a secret. This time KK is set in China, but apparently the on-location shooting is an enhancement to the film, Jackie Chan is appropriate as the kung-fu master, and according to Roger Ebert, the movie can stand on its own. Rated R.
