OPENING THIS WEEK - 7/28/2013

OPENING THIS WEEK in town.....


@ The Art House


Stories We Tell - Dipson Amherst Theatre

A documentary in which Sarah Polley uncovers her birth father: essentially she concludes there's three sides to every story - yours, mine and the truth. Her first documentary, following Polley's tender Away from Her and the complex yet flawed Take This Waltz which was best described as an interesting failure.  



Copperhead - Dipson Eastern Hills

Ron Maxwell's follow up to Gettsburg and God & Generals (this time thankfully without an intermission - it's 2 hours instead of 3 hours!) - evoking Lincoln the official plot description calls it "a parable of the Civil War and perhaps for our own time" - um kay.




@ The Multiplex


The Heat - Regal Walden Galleria, Dipson Market Arcade, Dipson Flix, Regal Transit, Regal Niagara Falls

The buzz has been surprisingly strong for this comedy about police brutality directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) and staring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy - I'll reserve judgment until I see it.




White House Down -  Regal Walden Galleria, Dipson Market Arcade, Dipson Flix, Regal Transit, Regal Niagara Falls

You rarely get to accuse Summer Movie Season of being original - hey, wasn't After Earth kind of a remake of Oblivion. Allegedly Olympus Has Fallen was rushed out into the theaters to beat White House Down - all be it this time we get the Roland Emmerich touch.
