The Harbor Theatre

Marvel Comics' “Doctor Strange” Dr. Stephen Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) life changes after a car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he looks for healing, and hope, in a mysterious enclave.

He quickly learns that the enclave is at the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying reality. Before long, Strange is forced to choose between his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence.

Co-starring with Cumberbatch are Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Scott Adkins, Michael Stuhlbarg, Amy Landecker, and Mads Mikkelsen.

Reviewing for Empire, James Dyer wrote, “A bizarre and beautiful detour on the Marvel journey, which culminates in a mind-bending, expectation-inverting final act. Not to be watched under the influence.”

“Doctor Strange” plays at 7 p.m. Nov. 9-13, 16 & 17 with an additional screening Nov. 13 at 2 p.m.

The Harbor Theatre is located at 185 Townsend Avenue in Boothbay Harbor. For more information call 207-633-0438 or visit www.harbortheatre.net.

“Do Not Resist”   Starting on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, as the community grapples with the death of Michael Brown, this film offers a stunning look at the current state of policing in America and a glimpse into the future. Director Craig Atkinson spent two years traveling through 11 states to examine increasing militarization of the police in cities and towns throughout the US. Much of what he finds and reports is familiar and disturbing in this urgent and powerful exploration.

“Do Not Resist” won the award for Best Documentary film at the recent Tribeca Film Festival. The film is not rated. Plays Thursday, Nov. 10 at 2 and 7 p.m.

“A Man Called Ove”   Stepping from the pages of Fredrik Backman's international best-selling novel, Ove is the quintessential angry old man next door. An isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse, who spends his days enforcing block association rules that only he cares about, and visiting his wife's grave, Ove has given up on life. Enter a boisterous young family next door who accidentally flattens Ove's mailbox while moving in and earning his special brand of ire.

Yet from this inauspicious beginning an unlikely friendship forms and we come to understand Ove's past happiness and heartbreaks. What emerges is a heartwarming story.

According to the NYT, "This tale of a cranky old man made less cranky by his new neighbors proves that Swedish movies can be as conventionally heartwarming as Hollywood products. It gets its tear-jerking work done, thanks to excellent performances." Rated PG, in Swedish w/English subtitles (just under 2 hours), it plays at 2 and 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, Saturday, Nov. 12 and Sunday, Nov. 13.

“Indoor/Outdoor” Tickets are now on sale at the theater for LCCT's latest production. Rehearsals have been underway for this "concert style" production in which minimal staging and props, a few costumes, sound effects and background slides provide the backdrop as the actors carry their scripts.
