February is a sort of Ryan Gosling Month

As luck or fate would have it, February is turning into something of a Ryan Gosling month.  We first saw him at Catamount in "Lars and the Real Girl" back in 2007, a funny and touching film about a young man with fear of intimacy who starts a relationship with a sex doll.

This month we have two of his newer films both dealing with relationships gone wrong.  First up is "All Good Things", co-starring Kirsten Dunst, which starts Friday, February 4th.  Based on actual events, the film follows the relationship between David and Katie (Gosling and Dunst).

"Written by Marc Smerling and Marcus Hinchey, the film itself takes off in the early 1970s when David and Katie move to Vermont, where they open a health-food store called All Good Things. ...

"Through the good times and very bad the two leads are a comfortable, persuasive match. The appealing Ms. Dunst can make you see the melancholy in her smiles, and this works beautifully for a character whose love grows clouded with worry and then fear."

At the end of the month, beginning on Friday, February 25th, we will show "Blue Valentine", co-starring Michelle Williams.  As Alice Fisher of "The Observer" says, the film:

"... details a young couple's marriage from falling in love to falling apart six years later. The romance and divorce unfold in intercut scenes, making the former seem bittersweet and the latter all the more upsetting. Don't take a date to go and see this film, but do make sure you see it – the acting is unbearably good."

Also in February, we are having 2 for 1 on video rentals, so it is a great time to come in to select from our collection of more than 4000 titles on VHS or DVD.
