This weekend at Theatre N

This weekend the theater is playing one new film, and several films that were popular over the last few months.  But these films only have one showing each, so plan accordingly.

Tabloid

"Thirty years before the antics of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears were regular gossip fodder, Miss Wyoming Joyce McKinney made her mark as a tabloid staple ne plus ultra.

Academy Awardwinner Errol Morris’ Tabloid follows the much stranger-than-fiction adventures of McKinney, a former “beauty queen” whose single-minded devotion to the man of her dreams leads her across the globe and directly onto the front pages of the British tabloid newspapers. Joyce’s crusade for love and personal vindication takes her through a surreal world of gun point abduction, manacled Mormons, oddball accomplices, bondage modeling, magic underwear and dreams of celestial unions. "

Friday at 2 & 8 pm, Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 6pm, and Monday at 7pm. $5-$7

POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold

Morgan Spurlock's latest, a fast-paced and entertaining look at the world of product placements.

One last showing only, Saturday at 2pm.  $5

The Trip

Sideways but about restaurants instead of vineyards, the British countryside instead of Napa Valley, and spot-on impersonations (the preview had me at the Michael Caine voice) instead of womanizing.

Tapped by The Observerto review fine restaurants throughout the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, Steve (Coogan) finds himself without a traveling companion after his girlfriend decides not to go at the last minute. After being turned down by everyone else he knows, Steve extends an invitation to Rob (Brydon), and together the pair attempt to navigate the winding back roads of rural England, impersonating popular celebrities such as Michael Caine, Woody
Allen and Liam Neeson (among many others) and bickering along the way.

Over the course of six different meals at six different restaurants, the ultimate odd couple tests the limits of their friendship, questioning what is most important to them and along the way discover the limits of what they are and are not willing to give up for fame.

One last showing only, Saturday at 5pm.  $7

Midnight In Paris

Woody Allen is said to make one great movie every 3-4 movies, and this is supposed to be that one.  Starring Owen Wilson, set in Paris.

One last showing only, Sunday at noon.   $5

Theatre N is northern Delaware's best (and only) option for indie, foreign, and art house films.  Beer, wine, popcorn and candy are available very cheaply in the theater before showings.  The theater is located in the Nemours Building, between 10th & 11th on Orange St. (enter via the revolving doors on the courtyard side of the building).  Parking is free and plentiful on the weekends, or you can park in the Community parking lot across the street and get $1 validated parking.  Ask for a frequent viewer card - every 6th movie is free, if there are two of you. For more info about the films or the theater:
