“Big
Ideas for a Small Planet: Recycle”
Sundance Channel’s The Green
Recycling efforts have come a long way since the bottle bills of
the 1970s – a good thing, since the U.S. produces 400 MILLION
tons of garbage per year. Individuals and organizations are
taking on the challenge of recycling everything from computers
to medicine bottles to handbags. The methods can be can be as
simple as re-use, or as technologically sophisticated as
chemically transforming one discarded material to create
another.

Burning the Future: Coal in America – Directed by David Novack.
This timely documentary takes us to the Appalachian Mountains of
southern West Virginia to explore the political, economic and
environmental issues surrounding coal, the source of more than
half of U.S. electricity. At particular issue is the
controversial above-ground mining technique known as mountaintop
removal, which is defended as safe by the coal industry but
opposed by a growing number of residents who believe it is a
threat their land, their health and their unique way of life.
Burning the Future offers a penetrating portrait of the hidden
cost of coal as it follows the efforts of those trying to halt
mountaintop removal, including an ecology professor and a
working mother whose Appalachian roots stretch back to the
1700s. |

Open to all disciplines of riding and breeds of horses, Goodnight’s

techniques and mastering critical riding skills. Each morning starts
with a groundwork session to hone your communication with your horse

their own pace and ability level. The primary goals for the clinic
are to have a safe and fun experience while improving your horsemanship

Spectators benefit tremendously from the clinic, watching all the

WANTED
June 27th
WANTED-Based upon
Mark Millar’s explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning
visualist director Timur Bekmambetov—creator of the most successful
Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch series—Wanted
tells the tale of one apathetic nobody’s transformation into an
unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, the world will be introduced
to a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson.
25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling
drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly,
his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably.
Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing.
There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die
in his slow, clock-punching rut.
Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie).
Trailer
The Accidental
Husband In Theatres August 22nd
New York
firefighter Patrick Sullivan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) had no idea
his seemingly idyllic life was about to go up in smoke –
especially as the unwitting, second-hand recipient of advice
from famed love expert and radio host Dr. Emma Lloyd (Uma
Thurman)
. One day he is a happy, go-lucky guy looking forward to a life
with his soon-to-be-bride. The next thing you know, his fiancée
Sophia (Justina Machado) is seeking couples counseling on the
radio from Dr. Lloyd. The no-nonsense, ever practical Dr. Lloyd
questions Sophia’s concept of romantic love and advises her to
break their engagement, which she swiftly does. But when Patrick
and his computer-savvy neighbor decide to give Dr. Lloyd a taste
of her own medicine and “accidentally” join them in holy
matrimony – something that doesn’t go over too well with her
fiancée (played by Colin Firth) -- it isn’t long before they
learn that sometimes even an expert in love needs a second
opinion…
