Grizzly Man
5:15, 9:30 PM
Double Feature w/THE GLEANERS & I
(2005) dir Werner Herzog [103 min]
Timothy Treadwell spent 13 consecutive summers in the Alaskan peninsula studying and filming grizzly bears – that is until he and his girlfriend were attacked and killed by a grizzly in their tent. Werner Herzog gained access to more than 100 hours of footage shot by Treadwell, much of which depicts his naïve trust and awe of the animals that would eventually cause his death. Herzog interlaces this footage with his own meditations on nature and humanity’s place within it. One of the most affecting and cinematic documentaries of the decade.

(Some of the) Best of the Oughts
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
5:00, 10:00 PM
Double Feature w/ZODIAC
(2005) dir Shane Black w/Robert Downey Jr., Val Kimer, Michelle Monaghan, Corbin Bensen [102 min]
Shane Black, the writer of Lethal Weapon, creates a refreshingly irreverent neo-noir with just the right amount of respect for its source material. In this murder mystery infused with the caustic wit and noir sensibilities of Chandler and Hammett, Downey Jr. plays a thief masquerading as an actor and Kilmer plays a private eye in the Phillip Marlowe mold… with one important difference. KISS KISS BANG BANG is a film that’s smart enough to know where it has come from and where it is now. One of the best written films of the ‘00s with hilarious performances by some particularly free spirited actors.
