THE AUTEUR THEORY
Starring: Natasha Lyonne
Two rebels long in the tooth, Captain and Doc,
decide they’re still young enough to cause
a revolution of sorts. They’re convinced the
government is dishing out lies to the American
people, and they’re determined to unmask the
dishonesty. A decrepit bomber they transform
into a slipshod TV station is their secret weapon of insurgence, but a senator stands in the
way of their search for truth and justice.
The Auteur Theory hilariously thumbs its nose
at the oft-pompous indie film industry and its
filmmakers. A documentary filmmaker makes
a movie about a student film festival – it
contestants, its inner works, the awkward
and so on. Hoping to find tension and drama
that every good story exploits and deserves,
the documentary director gets more than he
bargained for when contestants are suddenly
turning up dead.

STING II, THE
SWEET LIBERTY
Starring: Jackie Gleason, Mac Davis

Starring: James Garner, Shirley Jones
Jackie Gleason and Mac Davis play Gondorff
and Hooker (the characters made famous
by Paul Newman and Robert Redford in The
Sting), two con artists who return for more
action when rival gangs try to out-con each
other. This time, the fix is on a boxing match.
Teri Garr, Karl Malden and Oliver Reed (in the

worthy follow-up to the original.
The life of history professor Michael Burgess
gets upended when a film crew invades his
small Southeastern town to turn his scholarly
bestseller about the American Revolution into
a silver-screen saga of lust, duplicity and
intrigue. But historical accuracy gets lost in
the translation as the laughs mount in this
lighthearted comedy. Michael Caine, Michelle
Pfeiffer and the legendary Lillian Gish costar.
After relocating his family -- and his prized
restored Sherman tank -- to a small Georgia
town, military man Zack (James Garner) butts
heads with the local sheriff and decides to
wage a little war of his own. Zack doesn’t
agree with the ways of the local police, and
when the sheriff goes after Zack’s son (C.
Thomas Howell), it’s time for Zack to roll out
the Sherman tank. Shirley Jones co-stars.
