"Serenity" - October 2nd
Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, October 2nd at 5:00pm for "Serenity" at the Boston Common Loews. Look for Sean wearing a nametag in the main lobby on the ground floor about 15 minutes before the film. As always, after the film we will descend on a local establishment for dinner/drinks/discussion.
"The crew of Serenity takes on any job that will pay, even if it's not exactly legal. Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), the captain, was on the losing side of a galactic war, and now all he has is his ship, named Serenity, and his loyal crew: his second in command and most trusted ally, Zoe (Gina Torres), her husband, the pilot, Wash (Alan Tudyk), the mechanic, Kaylee (Jewel Staite), and the muscle, Jayne (Adam Baldwin). When Malcolm takes on two new passengers, a young doctor, Simon Tam (Sean Maher) and his unstable, telepathic sister River (Summer Glau) he gets much more than he bargained for. The two are fugitives from The Alliance, the conglomerate that controls the galaxy. River learned something no one was ever supposed to know... and The Alliance will do anything to make sure no one will. Morena Baccarin, Ron Glass, and Chiwetel Ejiofor also star."

"The Baxter" - September 18th
Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, September 18th at 4:35pm for The Baxter at the Kendall Square Cinema. Look for Sean wearing a nametag in the little seating area in the lobby about 15 minutes before the film. As always, after the film we will descend on a local establishment for dinner/drinks/discussion.
"Actor/screenwriter Michael Showalter (Wet Hot American Summer) pays homage to the classic screwball comedies of the 1950s in his directorial feature debut. He plays Elliot Sherman, the quintessential Baxter—the guy who never gets the girl. Until now. Sherman, an obsessive hypochondriac accountant, can hardly believe that he has landed Caroline (Elizabeth Banks, Seabiscuit). She's beautiful, sophisticated and on the rebound—perfect. Even so, he's still in unknown territory, and needs the help and romantic advice of Cecil (Michelle Williams) as he navigates the last two weeks before his wedding. Co-starring Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent) and Paul Rudd."

"Le Monde du Silence (The Silent World)" - September 11th
Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, September 11th at 7:00pm for "Le Monde du Silence (The Silent World)" at the Harvard Film Archive. Look for Sean wearing a nametag and sitting with his crutches in the little seating area in the lobby about 15 minutes before the film. As always, after the film we will descend on a local establishment for dinner/drinks/discussion.
"Louis Malle was just 23 when he was asked by author and undersea explorer Cousteau to help make a film that could act as an illustrated companion to his immensely popular book also entitled The Silent World. The film surpassed even the book in its popular impact, garnering an Oscar for Best Documentary and the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival. A lyrical meditation on the mysteries of the physical world, and humankind's tentative steps to explore them, the film follows Cousteau and his crew as they navigate the oceans; the underwater cinematography, much of it shot by Malle himself, is breathtaking, the brilliantly colored coral reefs serving as a stationary counterpoint to the teeming schools of sea life whizzing past them."
