I'm a movie theater you idiot! The oldest consistently operated one in Seattle at that! Used to be a dental office which would explain why it's like pulling teeth trying to get people to come here!

THE DHAMMA BROTHERS
Dir: Jenny Phillips, Andy Kukura & Anne Marie Stein
2007 / Color / 76 min. / Video
SHOWTIMES
Daily: 7pm & 9pm
Plus 3pm & 5pm Sat/Sun.
East meets West in the Deep South. An overcrowded maximum-security prison—the end of the line in Alabama’s correctional system—is forever changed by the influence of an ancient meditation program. The Donaldson Correctional Facility holds 1500 of the state’s most dangerous criminals. For some of these men a spark was ignited. In January 2002 the facility became the first maximum security prison in North America to hold an extended Vipassana retreat, an emotionally and physically demanding course of silent meditation lasting 10 days. The Dhamma Brothers tells a dramatic tale of human potential and transformation as it closely follows and documents the stories of 36 prison inmates who enter into this arduous and intensive program. It challenges the assumptions about the nature of prisons as places of punishment rather than rehabilitation and raises the question: is it possible for these men, some of whom have committed horrendous crimes, to change?

HUSH…HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE

Charlotte Hollis (Bette Davis) has been closeted in her mansion since the grisly murder of her married lover many years earlier. When the county wants to tear down the house to build a highway, the spinster’s relatives and friends appear to rally behind her, but each slowly preys on her mind until the gruesome rumors of the last forty years appear to be coming true. On hand are cousin Miriam (Olivia de Havilland), Dr. Drew Bayliss (Joseph Cotton), Jewel Mayhew (Mary Astor), “Big Sam†Hollis (Victor Buono), and the scariest inhabitant of all, loyal servant Velma (Agnes Moorehead).
