“See How They Run” - (PG-13; 1 hour, 38 minutes) - A rollicking comedy and take off on earlier whodunits set in the West End of 1950s London when plans for a movie version of Agatha Christie’s famed “The Mousetrap” come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril.

“A Love Song” - (PG; 1 hour, 21 minutes) -  Faye (Dale Dickey) is a lone traveler biding her time fishing, birding and stargazing at a rural Colorado campground as she awaits the arrival of Lito (Wes Studi), a figure from her past who is navigating his own tentative and nomadic journey across the rugged West. “A Love Song” weaves a lyrical and ultimately joyful refrain out of the transformative act of finding love at any age. Opens at 7 p.m.  Friday, Sept. 30 and Saturday, Oct. 1; Monday, Oct. 3, Tuesday, Oct. 4, Wednesday, Oct. 5 and Thursday, Oct. 6.

“Make no mistake: ‘A Love Song’ is, first and foremost, a love letter to Dickey... It’s the sort of performance that makes you stop taking great actors for granted.” – David Fear, Rolling Stone
