Jan / Feb 2018 Discover What’s New at Your Library Vol. 19 ◊ Issue 1 Jan / Feb 2018 Preble County District Library ensures that everyone in the county has access to books, movies, music, and more. The library’s homebound delivery program even reaches out to those who are limited in their ability to get to the library. It’s a free service to eligible Preble County residents which provides home delivery of any library material. Any Preble County resident who is unable to leave their home, either because of long-term or short-term conditions is eligible. If you’re permanently disabled or have a temporary condition that keeps you from getting to the library, contact the library’s Outreach Coordinator at (937) 456-4376. We also do home delivery in the winter months if a condition leaves you hesitant to leave in the winter weather. The Outreach Coordinator will ask Inside about your reading, watching, and listening preferences and choose materials to fit your personal tastes. You can also request specific titles, authors, musicians, and movies to be delivered. The library generally delivers once a month to homebound patrons but can deliver more or less often, if needed. Outreach Services will work out the details with you over the phone. Homebound patrons do not pay fines on library items, but are still responsible for the cost of any library materials lost or damaged. This program gives homebound residents access to the millions of items available at Preble County District Library and nearly 100 library systems in Ohio. Call (937) 456-4376 for more information or to sign up for homebound delivery. Library Admin. Office 450 S.

Sam (Andrew Garfield) is a disenchanted 33 year old who discovers a mys- terious woman, Sarah (Riley Keough), frolicking in his apartment’s swimming pool. When she vanishes, Sam embarks on a surreal quest across Los An- geles to decode the secret behind her disappearance, leading him into the murkiest depths of mystery, scandal, and conspiracy in the City of Angels.

Mining a noir tradition extending from Kiss Me Deadly and The Long Good- bye to Chinatown and Mulholland Drive, Mitchell uses the topography of Los Angeles as a backdrop for a deeper exploration into the hidden meaning and secret codes buried within the things we love.

    Daily Courier We e k’sWor th THE TV MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2021 Nathan Fillion returns as THE ROOKIE for a fourth season on CBS ‘The Rookie’ returns after cliffhanger drama By Kyla Brewer TV Media Cop shows have been around practically since the dawn of television, and there’s still nothing quite like a good police drama, especially one with a nail-biting cliffhanger season finale. After months of waiting, anxious fans will finally find out what happens when a prime-time hit returns to the airwaves. Nathan Fillion reprises his role as John Nolan, a cop who sets out to find a col- league after she goes missing in the sea- son premiere of “The Rookie,” airing Sun- day on ABC. The debut marks the fourth season of the hour-long drama centered on Nolan, a 40-something cop — and oldest rookie in the history of the LAPD — who works at the Mid-Wilshire Division of the Los Ange- les Police Department. The police drama is the latest in a string of hits for Canadian-American actor Fillion, who rose to fame as Capt. Mal- colm Reynolds in the cult favorite TV series “Firefly” and its subsequent spinoff film, “Serenity” (2005), and as sleuthing mystery writer Richard Castle in the ABC crime drama “Castle.” Born and raised in Edmonton, Fillion moved south to pursue a career in acting, landing roles in TV shows “One Life to Live” and “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” and in the movie “Saving Private Ryan” (1998). Now, he’s leading the cast of one of prime time’s highest-rated network series: “The Rookie.” At the end of last season, pregnant Det.

    presents THE EVENING HOUR A FILM BY BRADEN KING Written by Elizabeth Palmore Based on the Novel by Carter Sickels Starring Philip Ettinger, Stacy Martin, Lili Taylor PRESS NOTES OFFICIAL SELECTION Sundance Film Festival International Film Festival Rotterdam Country of Origin: USA Format: DCP/2.39/Color Sound: 5.1 Surround Running Time: 114 minutes Genre: Drama Not Rated In English NY / National Press Contact: LA/National Press Contact: Betsy Rudnick Fernand Carly Hildebrant [email protected] [email protected] Strand Releasing 310 836 7500 SYNOPSIS Cole Freeman maintains an uneasy equilibrium in his Appalachian town, looking after the old and infirm in the community while selling their excess painkillers to local addicts to make ends meet. But when an old friend returns with dangerous new plans that threaten the fragile balance Cole has crafted in his declining mountain town, his world and identity are thrown into deep disarray. THE EVENING HOUR is an authentic portrait of a rural American landscape in transition - a moving, lyrical hymn for the complex tangle of hardship and hope wrought by the opioid addiction in Appalachia. TO SEE AND BE SEEN “The Evening Hour began as a book by Carter Sickels, born of Carter’s talking to people in the southern mountains about what was happening in their lives. His novel grew out of a documentary impulse and was received by the region as a beautiful new friend, immediately recognized and accepted. When Braden King and his friends came to my part of the southern mountains to shoot a film based on Carter’s book, they took similar care to acknowledge and discover where they were.

    Cannes diary 2017: 'The Square' provoked, 'Florida Project' thrilled…Nicole Kidman was everywhere with Colin Farrell - Los Angeles Times 13.01.20, 1358 Cannes diary 2017: 'The Square' provoked, 'Florida Project' thrilled and Nicole Kidman was everywhere with Colin Farrell At the 70th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, recently concluded on May 28, L.A. Times film critic Justin Chang took in the scene and all the movies he could watch on very little sleep. In this, his Cannes diary, he gives us an up-close view of one of the world’s most glamorous events, a mecca for film lovers. DAY 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6-7 | 8 | 9-10 The 70th Festival de Cannes has ended and Pedro Almodóvarʼs jury has rendered its verdict, which you can read about in my report on the closing- night awards ceremony. And rest assured, this year there will be no indignant screed against their decisions from yours truly. Whatʼs remarkable about this festival is that, even with a much less impressive competition than last yearʼs, the jury managed to come up with a much more discerning and satisfying set of winners. Not entirely satisfying, of course: My personal choice for the Palme dʼOr would probably have been “Loveless,” followed closely by “A Gentle Creature” (what can I say, itʼs been a good year for devastating portraits of modern-day Russia), and I regret that the Safdie brothers and Robert Pattinson won nothing for their sensationally entertaining “Good Time.” But in the end, I can't fault a jury for honoring a film as provocative as “The Square,” as moving as “120

    WELCOME TO PROVINCETOWN LIKE NOWHERE ELSE The oldest continuous art colony in America provides the perfect setting for the 21st Provincetown Film Festival. Since the turn of the last century, Provincetown has been a haven for artists, writers, filmmakers and other so-called “dissents.” Embraced by the small Portuguese fishing village at the end of the world, the artistic community continues to thrive here in Provincetown along with the town’s support of all freedom of expression. The Festival’s legacy of presenting thought-provoking and innovative independent films and programs continues this season with our line-up of movies, parties and special programs including our very special keynote speaker, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe whose best seller, The Threat: How the F.B.I. Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump, seems destined to be the basis for a film. Award winning actor, writer and director John Cameron Mitchell (HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH) defines the festival’s Filmmaker on the Edge award, once again presented by Festival favorite John Waters whose town hall conversation with Mitchell is a must-see event of the week. In addition to enjoying our line-up of films and events we invite you to explore our town and walk in the footsteps of Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams, and our beloved poet Mary Oliver, among so many other great talents. Along the way please take a moment to thank our sponsors. The inns, restaurants, and local attractions, along with the ongoing support of town government, make this Festival possible and keep alive the creative expression of independent film.
