This week August 21-27, Telluride's Nugget Theatre will be showing three movies. Harry Potter is back for another week. In addition, "Ice Age III" can be seen early in the week, including a matinee on Saturday. "The Ugly Truth" rounds out the week's program.

"The Ugly Truth" is a romantic comedy, rated R for sexual content, in which Mr. Wrong plays Cyrano to a TV personality looking for Mr. Right. You can probably guess how this turns out.
