This week at the Lincoln Theater
"Primetime" - (R; 1 hour, 50 minutes) - In 2006, “To Catch a Predator” host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history. As the cameras roll, a groundbreaking television spectacle begins to blur the lines between journalism, entertainment, and vigilantism. Robert Pattinson stars as Hansen in this unsettling crime thriller inspired by the real-life events surrounding the controversial series. Directed by Lance Oppenheim, Primetime explores the costs of turning moral outrage into must-see television. Final showtimes Thursday, Oct. 22 at 1 and 7 p.m. Presented in partnership with Stevens Monuments.
Lady Lamb - "An Evening with Strings" - From her early days, staying late after-hours at her video rental store job in Maine to record songs, to co-producing and arranging her four studio records, Aly Spaltro has remained focused on music that connects, empowers and builds community. Spaltro was quick to develop a reputation as a breakout star in New England, and then expanded slowly outwards, moving to New York at twenty to continue work on the songs that would become her album “Ripely Pine.” Spaltro is now celebrating ten years of “Ripely Pine.” “I wrote some of these songs when I was 18, learning how to play the instruments and record with my digital 8-track along the way,” Spaltro says, reflecting on the time. “I’m able to look back on where I’ve come from, and then gently close that door behind me and keep moving, keep growing.” Tickets: $35 general admission (in advance online), and $40 at the door. Live on stage Friday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.
"Heart of the Beast" - (PG-13; 1 hour, 41 minutes) - After a harrowing plane crash, Special Forces veteran James Belmont (Brad Pitt) and his combat dog, Odin, find themselves stranded deep in the Alaskan wilderness. Together, they are forced into a brutal fight for survival against the elements. From acclaimed filmmaker David Ayer, the film is an intense adventure thriller that explores the unbreakable bond between a man and his best friend as they face their greatest battle yet. Playing at 1 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24 Wednesday, Oct. 28 and Thursday, Oct. 29. Presented in Partnership with Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust.
