June 15: Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, Anonymous speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics and brilliant minds…who was the author of the plays credited to William Shakespeare? The film poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when cloak-and-dagger political intrigue, illicit romance in the Royal Court, and the schemes of greedy nobles hungry for power were exposed to the most unlikely of places: the London stage. Directed by Roland Emmerich. 2011. 130 minutes.

July 6: Martin Sheen plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to France to deal with the tragic loss of his son (played by Emilio Estevez, Sheen’s own son). Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage “The Way of St. James” to honor his son’s desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn’t plan on is the profound impact this trip will have on him. Tom discovers the difference between the life we live and the life we choose. Written and directed by Emilio Estevez. 2010. 121 minutes.
