Screenland Theatres Offer Up Movie Choices

“Eames” and “Klitschko” Docs At Armour – “Revenge Of The Electric Car” and “Saint” At Crossroads – “The Muppets” Now Playing At Crown Center…

At the Armour you can see two wonderful documentaries, first is Eames: The Architect And The Painter. Actor James Franco narrates this richly textured documentary on the celebrated husband-and-wife design team of Charles and Ray Eames. In addition to creating extraordinary plywood and fiberglass furniture, the Eames’ also produced everything from children’s toys to splints for wounded World War II soldiers.

Also we have the boxing doc Klitschko. Documentary filmmaker Sebastian Dehnhardt offers an intimate look into the lives of Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, two sibling boxers from the Ukraine who moved to Germany in 1996 and quickly rose to the status of role models for millions of adoring fans.

We are also still showing The Muppets and will have the final showing of The Big Lebowski for 2011 this weekend at Armour!

Opening Dec. 9 at Screenland Crossroads is the documentary Revenge of the Electric Car! In 2006, filmmaker Chris Paine examined the short and troubled history of General Motors’ EV1, an electric powered automobile that was fast, efficient and taken off the market under mysterious circumstances, in his documentary Who Killed The Electric Car?. A few years later, with the price of gas skyrocketing and the environment an even greater issue for many Americans, alternative vehicles are finally making their way into the mass marketplace, and Paine takes a look at four firms who are trying to put electric autos onto America’s highways in his follow-up The Revenge Of The Electric Car.

Jjust in time for Christmas, is the holiday horror film Saint. St. Niklas returns every December 5th to take revenge for his death in the middle ages. Ho ho ho.
