New Releases, 23 February 2010

It's a great week for film, people: not only do we have all of the great films below, but it's also time for True/False again, and they have a killer line-up.  You can get tickets still at truefalse.org, but even if you don't, we'll be open the entire weekend for your film rental desires.  And the movies...

Matt Damon plays a whistleblower at ADM, in a film by Stephen Soderbergh based on a true and 
nearly unbelievable story

THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE
 
A riveting, character-filled documentary about the publication of Vogue's 
revered doorstop of fashion, the annual September issue. Played at Ragtag
 
THE BOX
 
What if there was a box, and every time you opened it you got a million dollars--but someone you didn't know would die.  What if you took that box and gave it to Cameron Diaz and the director of Donnie Darko?
There's only on way to find out...
 
THE EXAMINED LIFE

a hundred undergrads.
