Film Descriptions:

The Godfather, 175 minutes (Friday, Oct. 12^th @ 7PM)

Based on Mario Puzo's bestselling novel about a Mafia dynasty, Coppola's The Godfather extracted and enhanced the most universal themes of immigrant experience in America: the plotting-out of hopes and dreams for one's successors, the raising of children to carry on the good work, etc. Francis Ford Coppola's  film is a bona fide classic and a rare cinematic gem. With Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, John Cazale, and Robert Duvall.

 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, 100 minutes (Saturday, Oct. 13^th @ 12PM)

A favorite film of children around the world, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is every bit as entertaining now as it was when originally released in 1971. There's a timeless appeal to Roald Dahl's classic children's novel, the story of the impoverished Charlie Bucket, who, along with four other kids and their parental guests, wins a coveted golden ticket to tour of Wonka's factory. Gene Wilder gives a brilliant performance as the eccentric candyman.

 Apocalypse Now, 202 minutes (Saturday, Oct. 13^th @ 2PM)

It began as a John Milius screenplay, transposing Joseph Conrad's classic story "Heart of Darkness" into the horrors of the Vietnam War.  Apocalypse Now, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, follows a battle-weary Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) on a secret upriver mission to find and execute the renegade Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has reverted to a state of murderous and mystical insanity.

 Army of Shadows, 145 minutes (Saturday, Oct. 13^th @ 8PM)

In this war drama set during the French Resistance of WW II, a courageous fighter escapes Gestapo headquarters and returns to Marseille. There he and his group engage in a series of attacks on Nazi occupiers. The screenplay is based on Joseph Kessel's novel and became filmmaker’s Jean-Pierre Melville's magnum opus.

 The Motherhood Manifesto, 60 minutes (Sunday, Oct. 14^th @ 12PM)

These and other startling facts are presented in a powerful and engaging new one-hour documentary, The Motherhood Manifesto, a film by Laura Pacheco and John de Graaf. The film brings to the screen many of the characters, experts and stories from the new book by the same name, written by Joan Blades, and Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner. Moving personal stories combined with humorous animation, expert commentary and hilarious old film clips tell the tale of what happens to working mothers and families in America and how enlightened employers and public policy can make paid family leave, flexible working hours, part-time parity, universal healthcare, excellent childcare, after-school programs and realistic living wages a reality for American families. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Mary Steenburgen.

The Last Temptation of Christ, 164 minutes (Sunday, Oct. 14^th @ 3PM)

Willem Dafoe plays Jesus Christ in this extraordinarily controversial adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis'  novel. The film depicts a sometimes reluctant, self-doubting Jesus, gradually coming to accept His divinity and the inexorability of His ultimate fate.

 The Europeans, 90 minutes (Sunday, Oct. 14^th @ 8PM)

In this adaptation of Henry James' novel The Europeans, The Countess Eugenia (Lee Remick) and her brother Robert (Robin Ellis) are expatriate Americans who have grown up mainly in Europe. They have also grown accustomed to living well and have returned to see their New England relatives to try and take advantage of their prosperity by contracting an advantageous marriage with one of their wealthy cousins.

 The Motorcycle Diaries, 126 minutes (Monday, Oct. 15^th @ 7PM)

Brazilian director Walter Salles Jr. filmed adaptation of Argentinian-born Cuban revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara's journals of the same name. The Motorcycle Diaries stars Gael García Bernal (Y Tu Mamá También, Amores Perros) as a young, pre-revolution Guevara, a 23-year-old medical student in 1952 traveling across South America on a motorcycle with his friend Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna), who co-wrote the source material.

 The Green Mile, 188 minutes (Wednesday, Oct. 17^th @ 11:15AM)

Director Frank Darabont ("The Shawshank Redemption") returns to another novel set in a prison by Stephen King. In 1935, inmates at the Cold Mountain Correctional Facility call Death Row "The Green Mile" because of the dark green linoleum that tiles the floor. Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) is the head guard on the Green Mile when a new inmate is brought into his custody: John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), convicted of the sadistic murder of two young girls. Despite his size and the fearsome crimes for which he's serving time, Coffey seems to be a kind and well-mannered person who behaves more like an innocent child than a hardened criminal. Soon the guards notice something odd about Coffey. He's able to perform what seem to be miracles of healing among his fellow inmates.

 Strangers on a Train, 101 minutes (Thursday, Oct. 18^th @ 7PM)

Co-adapted by Raymond Chandler from a novel by Patricia Highsmith, Strangers on a Train perfectly exemplifies Hitchcock's favorite theme of the evil that lurks just below the surface of everyday life and ordinary men. Tennis pro Guy Haines (Farley Granger) chances to meet wealthy wastrel Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker) on a train. Having read all about Guy, Bruno is aware that the tennis player is trapped in an unhappy marriage to wife Miriam (Laura Elliott) and has been seen in the company of senator's daughter Ann Morton (Ruth Roman). Baiting Guy, Bruno reveals that he feels trapped by his hated father (Jonathan Hale). Bruno discusses the theory of "exchange murders." When he reaches his destination, Guy bids goodbye to Bruno, thinking nothing more of the affable but rather curious young man's homicidal theories. And then, Guy's wife turns up strangled to death.

 The Blue Eyed Six, 55 minutes (Friday, Oct. 19^th @ 7PM)

A Pennsylvania Historic Drama Documentary Film

 Edna Carmean’s book The Blue Eyed Six, based on the famous insurance murder trial and execution in Pennsylvania history. In December 1878, the body of old Joseph Raber was found floating in the icy waters of Indiantown Creek near St. Joseph’s Spring, PA. The investigation revealed life insurance policies had been taken out on Raber who was frail and expected not to live very long. The gang might have escaped the noose had it not been for one of them becoming too fond of a local 19 year-old married woman named Magdelena Peters. Her jealous husband, Joe Peters turned the men into Hummelstown authorities. The trial was covered by every major newspaper from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and from Baltimore to New York.

 Written by Bruce W. and Brian W. Kreider, directed by Brian W. Kreider, and executive produced by Bruce W. Kreider. The cast includes local actors: Kevin D’Arco (Josh Hummel), Coty Martin (Frank Stichler), John Matarazzi (Charles Drew), Art Moshos Henry Wise), Craig Norris (George Zechman) and Frank Pastunk (Israel Brandt).
