(US 2008) dir. Sacha Gervasi 90m. Digital.
Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow, Robb Reiner, Ivan Herd, Chris Tsangarides, Tiziana Arrigoni, Cut Loose, Slash.

The worldwide festival hit! Toronto-based heavy-rockers Anvil have all the traits of a legendary band – a prolific three-decade career and the respect of rock’s biggest names, yet they lack the stardom. This delightful documentary chronicles their history of bad luck, and their last-ditch attempt for fame and fortune.

WATCHMEN (18) 11.15pm

(US 2009) dir. Zack Snyder 162m.
Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Patrick Wilson.

Faithful adaptation of the landmark graphic novel, set in an alternative 1985, one in which Richard Nixon is still in office and has outlawed superhero activity. But a murder, and an imminent nuclear threat, has brought the Watchmen out of hiding. A complex, unique and often astonishing spin on the superhero movie.
