The cus- toms officer cuts Lewis a deal: Relocate to the Newfoundland harbour town of Tickle Head to serve as local physician for one month and all charges will be swept under the rug. The native Tickle Headers have grown cozy living off the dole. The only hope for the bucolic community comes in the form of a petrochemical processing facility, promising jobs. The catch: They need a registered physician in order to secure the contract. And so begins Tickle Head’s charm offensive, as they seduce Dr. Lewis into settling down for good. The Globe and Mail July 27 (7:00 & 9:15) TRACKS John Curran, Australia 2013, 112 min; PG Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Adam Driver A journey of arduous physical challenges and incalculable spiritual rewards is evoca- tively rendered in this superb adaptation. Robyn Davidson’s remarkable journey in 1977 across 1,700 miles of Australian des- ert to the Indian Ocean with four camels and a dog is given a richly sensorial screen treatment. This is a visually majestic film of transfixing moods and textures. –The Hollywood Reporter July 28 (7:00 & 9:00) THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL Wes Anderson USA, 2014, 100 min; 14A Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Tony Revolori, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Jason Schwartman, Tilda Swinton, Owen Wilson An elaborate and delightful work of tragi- comic confection set at an imaginary resort in an imaginary country that depicts the interwar years in Europe largely as a set of high-society hijinks out of 1930s Hollywood comedies. Anderson’s cast features one of Ralph Fiennes’ best per- formances and is loaded with peculiar delights. –Salon.com Ritesh Batra, India 2013, 104 min; Hindi & English with subtitles Some romances are written in the stars.

Arguably the best live document of any band, ever, “Stop Making Sense” (also released as a live album) is a unique interpretation of the band at their cre- ative peak, with director Jonathan Demme keeping the focus directly on the band, including David Byrne in his now-iconic big suit. The result is euphoric.

AUG 3, 4, 5 & 6 (7:00 & 9:20) THE IMMIGRANT Director: James Gray USA, 2014, 118 min; PG Cast: Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix, Jeremy Renner Marion Cotillard has made her share of unremarkable films. But when the French star, who won the Academy Award for her Edith Piaf in “La Vie en Rose”, gets it right, the result is magic. Her Piaf was that. So was the whale trainer in Rust and Bone. In the title role of The Immigrant, as Ewa, a destitute Pole who arrives in New York City in 1921 in search of the American Dream, she once again astounds. Ewa is plucked from the deportation line by Bruno Weiss (Joaquin Phoenix), who hands the guard a few bills to facilitate Ewa’s hasty transfer to a Manhattan-bound boat. In fact, Bruno runs a bevy of bawdy women in a burlesque hall, offering their supplemental services to men willing to pay. He keeps his “little doves” several flights up in the tenement where he lives. Phoenix plays this guy with a kind of unpredictable, flummoxed charm. He can be wily and confident one minute, needy and pathetic the next. Of course, Bruno falls in love with Ewa. And of course, there is a rival: Emil, also known as Orlando the Magician, a glinty-eyed prestidigitator (watch him levitate!) played with charisma and a pencil-thin mustache by Jeremy Renner. Bruno and Emil have a long history - in fact, they are cousins. Cotillard gives Ewa an inner life, full of ferocity, vulnerability, cunning. In her peacock feathers and her cheap flapper’s jewelry, or in a dark woolen shawl, huddled in the night, this woman is absolutely wondrous, absolutely real. –Philadelphia Inquirer MONEY FOR NOTHING: Inside the Federal Reserve Jim Bruce, USA/Canada, 2013, 104 min WILL LEAD YOU TO A PLACE OF QUIET WONDER.The Telegraph 9 BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! 0 9 BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! 0 “GREATEST CONCERT MOVIE EVER!” Rolling Stone yyyyy Time Out New York yyyyy Time Out New York AUG 7 (7:00 ONLY) Presented by Chartered Financial Analysts Society Victoria. $10 for students, CFA members & CFA candidates; $15 for non-members Cinecenta comps/passes not valid.

SUPERMENSCH: THE LEGEND OF SHEP GORDONDirector: Mike Meyers USA, 2014, 86 min; PGCan revered entertainment manager Shep Gordon, pro-filed in this so-crazy-you-wouldn’t-believe-it documentary, really have entered the business as Jimi Hendrix’s drug dealer? Stranger things have happened. As Gordon now remembers it, this was after being punched in the face by Janis Joplin. With winning candor, Gordon brushes off his best stories, like the one about putting a chicken onstage for glammy client Alice Cooper, then calling the cops on his own show, for publicity’s sake. It worked. Viciously funny and a touch sentimental, the doc bears a vervy style for first-time filmmaker, Wayne’s World star Mike Myers, who touches on his own rough patch and Gordon’s saintly intervention. It’s a portrait that’s equal parts shtick and soul. –Time Out New York Capitalist, protector, hedonist, pioneer, showman, sha-man... Shep Gordon is the consummate Hollywood insid-er. His unlikely story will be told by those who know him best, including Alice Cooper, Michael Douglas, Sylvester Stallone, Anne Murray, Willie Nelson, Emeril Lagasse and more.

SEPT 1 (7:00 ONLY)

MALEFICENTDirector: Robert Stromberg USA, 2014, 98 min; PGCast: Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto CopleyAngelina Jolie doesn’t chew the scen-ery in Maleficent — she infuses it, wielding a magnetic and effortless power as the magnificently malevo-lent fairy who places a curse on a newborn princess. She’s the heart and soul of Disney’s revisionist, live-action look at its most popular car-toon villain, the Mistress of All Evil from 1959’s “Sleeping Beauty”. A few bumpy patches notwithstanding, the new feature is an exquisitely designed, emotionally absorbing work of dark enchantment. The handsome prince is a bit player in a story whose true center is a love that has nothing to do with happily-ever-after romance. –The Hollywood Reporter

John Curran, Australia, 2013, 112 min; PGCast: Mia Wasikowska, Adam DriverA journey of arduous physical challenges and incalculable spiritual rewards is evoca-tively rendered in this superb adaptation. Robyn Davidson’s remarkable journey in 1977 across 1700 miles of Australian desert to the Indian Ocean with four camels and a dog is given a richly sensorial screen treatment. This is a visually majestic film of transfixing moods and textures. –The Hollywood Reporter

BELLEDirector: Amma Asante UK, 2013, 104 min; GCast: Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tom Wilkinson, Sam Reid, Sarah Gadon, Miranda Richardson, Penelope Wilton, Emily Watson, Tom Felton, James Norton and Matthew GoodeThis rousing historical fantasia, loosely based on a true story, uses Jane Austen’s novels as a template. In the late eighteenth century, two beautiful half cousins, Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon) and Dido Belle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), live together as loving friends under the pro-tection of their uncle (Tom Wilkinson), the Chief Justice of England. Dido, the daughter of a British sea captain and his African slave mis-tress, becomes an heiress. She’s now capable of conferring property of her own on cash-poor aristocratic suitors. Not much is known about the historical Dido, and the British film-makers concoct a liberationist fiction in which Dido becomes conscious of herself as a black woman after listening to the fiery anti-slavery rhetoric of a parson’s son (Sam Reid), who falls in love with her. –The New Yorker

DESERT RUNNERSDirector: Jennifer Steinman USA, 2013, 99 min The athletes profiled here really go the extra mile. The 14 folks we spend time with are all on their way to something called the 4 Deserts Grand Slam, in which contestants have a year to tackle epic wastelands of brutal hot and numbing cold in China, Chile, North Africa, and Antarctica. Of particular interest are Irishman David, at 56 the old-est person to attempt it; 25-year-old student Samantha, from Australia; and ex-Brit-special-forces dude Tremaine Kent, 40. The initial trek across Chile’s Atacama Desert is beautiful enough to suggest that things won’t be so tough. But subsequent treks across the Gobi and Sahara prove less forgiving….. –Georgia Straight

AUG 15 & 16 (7:00 & 9:25)

GODZILLADirector: Gareth Edwards USA, 2014, 123 min; PGCast: Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olson, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Juliette BinocheIt’s not hard to see the endur-ing appeal of the Godzilla myth. There’s basic fun to be had in watching a reptile as big as a skyscraper reduce an entire city to rubble beneath his gargan-tuan stomping feet. Plus, by now Godzilla, with his radioactive fire-breath, stumpy waving forelegs, and aversion to intact skylines, is an archetypal, almost lovable fig-ure. A smooth, sleek, technologi-cally awe-inspiring blockbuster with a top-shelf cast. –Slate.com

Director: Kelly Reichardt USA, 2013, 112 minCast: Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning, Peter SarsgaardThree conspirators (Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning, and Peter Sarsgaard) living in a valley in southern Oregon decide to blow up a local dam as a protest against the use of water for such luxuries as golf courses and the disruption of salmon life for the produc-tion of electricity. What happens at the dam, filmed at night, with only shimmering light, is the most nerve-racking sequence in recent movies. Oregon’s natural magnificence (photographed with sombre beauty by Chris Blauvelt) adds to our ambivalence toward the three—they are both protectors and violators of the environment, both righteous and criminal. –The New Yorker

Chef is an artful surprise and an exuberant gift, a dish served with simplicity and loving finesse. It’s one from the heart. Jon Favreau stars as Carl, the master chef at a chic L.A. restaurant. His workaholism has cost Carl his marriage to Inez (Sofia Vergara) and a fulfill-ing relationship with their 11-year-old son, Percy (a terrific Emjay Anthony). Creatively, Carl is stuck in a successful rut. The catalyst for change comes in the person of a much-feared food blogger (Oliver Platt, superb), who decides to review Carl. Foodies will sali-vate at the scenes in the kitchen, as Carl preps a new menu. These moments come vibrantly alive. It’s the restaurant owner (Dustin Hoffman) who interrupts Carl’s orgasmic joy. He insists Carl serve his greatest hits. Carl complies. The review is scalding….Having lost his job, Carl refurbishes an old food truck, supplied by Inez’s ex-husband (Robert Downey Jr.), and hits the road (Miami, Austin, New Orleans), making gourmet Cuban food with his friends and his son by his side. Chef is deliciously entertaining, comic, touching and often bitingly true. All the actors are aces. Buoyed by a Latin-flavored score, Chef is the perfect antidote to Hollywood junk food. Like the best meals and movies, this irresistible concoction feels good for the soul. –Rolling Stone

NEIGHBORS Only $2 for UVic undergrads!Director: Nicholas Stoller USA, 2014, 97 min; 18A Cast: Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron, Lisa Kudrow“Neighbors” is one of the funniest, most visually inventive studio comedies in recent memory. Seth Rogen and his adorable wife, played by “Bridesmaids” star Rose Byrne, have just moved into a lovely suburban home with their new baby girl. They face an obstacle when their domestic tranquility is threatened when a fraternity, led by Zac Efron and Dave Franco, moves in next door. –The Playlist

EDGE OF TOMORROW Only $2 for UVic undergrads!Director: Doug Liman USA, 2104, 114 min; PGCast: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Brendan Gleeson, Bill PaxtonIt’s a familiar sci-fi mashup, but director Doug Liman knows how to find the fun and the thrills in this tale of an alien-fighting soldier who lives the same day over and over again. Tom Cruise has a killer case of déjà vu and he’s not the only one; viewers will pick out plot elements from “Groundhog Day,” “Starship Troopers,” “Source Code,” and “The Butterfly Effect” from this exciting sci-fi action epic. The familiarity never gets in the way of the fun. –The Wrap

David Lean, UK, 1962, 227 min; PGCast: Peter O’Toole, Omar Sharif, Alec GuinessUtterly magnificent--a colossally flamboy-ant mixture of pomp and neurosis. It is certainly the greatest epic of the postwar Anglo-American cinema. Peter O’Toole, astoundingly handsome in his youth, plays T. E. Lawrence, the Oxford classicist and Arabist, who wanders into the desert in 1916, makes contact with a variety of mutually hostile Arab tribes, and leads them on a series of devastating raids against the Turks. Lawrence wills himself into greatness. But he goes too far... –New York Magazine

OBVIOUS CHILDDirector: Gillian Robespierre USA, 2014, 85 min; PGThe only agenda of this scruffy and urbane comedy, about a young comic contemplating abortion, is to be true and funny. It will no doubt draw the accusation that it treats abortion like it’s nothing. What this fresh and witty film actually does is even bolder: it treats abortion like it’s something. “Obvious Child” acknowledges the reality of young women. The film takes an intelli-gent look at its characters and their lives, even as its comedian heroine (Jenny Slate) relies on stained-pant-ies humor to get laughs onstage. Ultimately, this is a movie about life and how we live it. –The Wrap

Director: Bryan Singer USA, 2014, 132 min; PG Cast: Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Peter Dinklage, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Anna Paquin, Evan Peters, Nicholas Hoult.See the 2014 blockbuster that gets damn near everything right. “XM:DFP” tries to stuff the whole X-Men universe – past, present and future – into one movie. Fans are in for an exhilarating rush. Bryan Singer combines the pow of his early films with the playful-ness of “First Class”, which introduced James McAvoy as the boyish version of Patrick Stewart’s Professor X and Michael Fassbender in a youthful take on Ian McKellen’s Magneto. A rousing epic of mind and heart. –Rolling Stone

UVUNGADirectors: Marie-Hélène Cousineau & Madeline Ivalu Canada, 2013, 88 min; English and Inuktitut with subtitles; PGCast: Starring Pakak Innuksuk, Marianne Farley, Madeline Piujuq Ivalu, Lukasi Forrest, Travis Kunnuk.Set in a high Arctic summer landscape of candy-coloured houses and blue water, this Canadian drama is a story of homecoming and reconciliation told in the patient, rhythmic cadences of Inuit voices. Set in the Nunavut hamlet of Igloolik, Uvanga (“myself”) centres on Montrealer Anna (Marianne Farley) and her 14-year-old son, Tomas (Lukasi Forrest). Anna once taught school in the north and had a brief affair with married Inuk man Caleb, leaving when she became pregnant with Tomas. Caleb’s mysterious death and a sense of responsibility to help her son learn about his heri-tage prompt Anna to bring him to Igloolik, while perhaps dealing with some ghosts herself….Experiences achieved amid laughter in the midnight sun punctuate Uvanga, which is bolstered by natural performances from local actors that draw us in while sharing the secrets of a place both strange and beautiful in its isolation. –Toronto Star

You’re never too old to soak in a hot spring, get high on good weed, or give a marvelous screen performance — or so goes the charming logic of this gently elegiac road comedy about two aging buddies vacationing in Iceland. A bawdy, bittersweet ode to friendship’s last-ing joys and life’s inevitable regrets, the film showcases pitch-perfect turns from Paul Eenhoorn and Earl Lynn Nelson. Mitch (Nelson), a gre-garious, American loudmouth, tells Colin (Eenhoorn), a softer-spoken Australian, that he’s planned an impromptu trip to Iceland for the two of them. Before long the two men land in Reykjavik, where Mitch has an effortlessly pleasurable agenda in store: stay in nice hotels, eat at the finest restaurants, and possibly smoke some premiere local pot before moving on to the scenic countryside, with its hot springs and hiking. (The superb cinematography includes staggeringly beautiful outdoor vistas.) That a comedy starring two actors of a certain age will touch on its characters’ encroaching sense of mortality is more or less a given; it’s considerably less assured that it will cover this territory as gracefully as “Land Ho!” does. The film’s pleasures as eye-candy travelogue are delivered without apology; certainly the Icelandic Tourist Board can expect a small uptick in business. But what gives the story its moment-to-moment buoyancy is the pleasure of watching two actors working brilliantly in tandem. –Variety

WALKING THE CAMINO: SIX WAYS TO SANTIAGODirector: Lydia B. Smith USA/Spain, 2013, 84 min

“Camino” follows various pilgrims as they attempt to cross an entire country on foot -- with only a backpack, a pair of boots and an open mind. Each person throws themselves heart and soul into their challenging 500-mile walk of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Spain. The film is gorgeous, filled with beautiful landscapes.
