42
Directed by Brian Helgeland. US. 2013. PG-13. Running time: 128 min.
“These days, there are many less flattering things you could say about a movie than that it’s enjoyable in a square, uncomplicated, stirringly old-fashioned way. 42, a sports drama about how Jackie Robinson broke the color line in professional baseball, is in some ways a film that could have been made 30 years ago, or 50 years ago. (In fact, it was made 63 years ago: 1950′s The Jackie Robinson Story starred the legendary second baseman himself.)

Classic Films:
The Postman Always Rings Twice
Directed by Tay Garnett. US. 1946. NR. Running time: 113 min.
Whenever the phrase “film noir” is used, this film of James M. Cain’s novel – about a depression-era drifter (John Garfield) and a cafe-owner’s sensual young wife (Lana Turner) who conspire to kill her husband – is almost always used as a prime example. From the moment that Garfield sees the all-too-true “Man Wanted” sign outside the cafe until the shattering conclusion, there is an aura of desperation and desire that grips the viewer like a vise and never lets go.

Concerts & Events:
Point Entertainment presents Marc Cohn
Tickets: $25 - $42.50. Buy tickets online.
Grammy Award-winner Marc Cohn is probably best known for his song “Walking In Memphis” along with “Silver Thunderbird” and “True Companion” off his self titled debut album. A natural storyteller, he combines the precision of a brilliant tunesmith with the passion of a great soul man. His current album “Listening Booth: 1970 ” is his take on classics like “Wild World,” “The Tears of a Clown,” “The Letter,” and “Maybe I’m Amazed.” Very excited to have Marc and Rebecca Pidgeon (David Mamet’s wife) who will open at the Colonial!
