It’s always best to check the movie times at the website or by phone before you set out, and even then, be prepared for last minute changes and possible heartbreak!
Vista has been very bad lately as to inaccuracies on their website, especially in regard to what subtitles are available. Those inaccuracies of necessity creep into what’s printed below, so be forewarned. Also Vista been late in publishing their schedule, causing this newsletter to come out later than I would like.
Bold scores are from Metacritic / light scores from Rotten Tomatoes.

US/ France, Action/ Mystery/ Romance/ Sci-Fi/ Thriller – A film everyone is raving about. I can personally verify that it’s simply terrific in all ways as a thriller and mystery. It stars an excellent Jake Gyllenhaal as a soldier who wakes up in the body of an unknown man and discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. A younger brother to Inception, it has the complex infrastructure of top-tier science fiction. Gripping, well directed, well acted, highly recommended. Generally favorable reviews: 74/74 out of 100.
