This week at Theatre N:

You have two choices this time.  Last week there were, what, four different movies?  Meh, sometimes I think it's better to have less choice in life.  Makes decision-making easier.  So here are your movie choices:

BUCK

Okay, you tell me if this is a documentary or not, based on the description Theatre N gives.  I *think* they're saying it's a documentary, but usually a documentary doesn't claim to "follow" a person from childhood.  Hmm... 
(From Theatre N): "BUCK, a richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A real life “horse-whisperer”, he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses – and people – with his understanding, compassion and respect. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American story about an unsung hero, BUCK is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.

Friday at 8, Saturday at 2 & 5, Sunday at 5.  $5-$7.

PASSIONE

A 90 minute music documentary by John Turturro which looks at the musical traditions and influences of Naples, Italy.  In English, Italian, and Arabic with English subtitles.   This is a good one to bring to Wilmington, where a large portion of our Italian-American population are "NA-boh-lee-don", as they call themselves in the dialect their parents and grandparents brought from that region of Italy.

Friday at 2, Saturday at 8, Sunday at 2, and Monday at 7.  $5-$7
