A MIGHTY WIND (2003 - PG-13 - 91 min.)

Friday, February 20th - 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Fanwood Library - Adult Department

This hilarious ‘mock-u-mentary’ from the folks who brought you Spinal Tap and Best in Show is a brilliant send-up the folk era. It captures the reunion of 1960s folk trio the Folksmen (Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer) as they prepare for a show at The Town Hall to memorialize a recently deceased concert promoter. Eugene Levy co- wrote this hit with Guest and is featured as half of duo Mitch and Mickey (Catherine O’Hara), who were the epitome of young love until their partnership was torn apart by heartbreak and there’s the New Main Street Singers, the most meticulously color- coordinated neuftet ever to hit the stage. Now for one night only in New York City's Town Hall, these three groups will reunite and gather together to celebrate the music that almost made them famous. The all-star ensemble also features Ed Begley, Jr., Parker Posey, Fred Willard, and more.

Fanwood Library - Fanwood Room

Based on Patrick O’Brian’s popular novels and directed by Peter Weir, this Oscar winner stars Russell Crowe who brings great intensity to the role of Captain Jack Aubrey. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the British frigate, HMS Surprise, under his command and a much larger French warship, the Acheron, with greater fire power, stalk each other off of the coast of South America. ‘Lucky Jack’, as he is referred to by his crew, is well regarded by his men, who trust him implicitly, even after the first devastating battle and an apparent personal vendetta against the French captain. Paul Bettany also turns in a strong performance as the surgeon and naturalist who balances the violence of his chosen life with the quiet demeanor of the scientist.

IN AMERICA (2002 PG-13 107 min.)

Friday, June 18th - 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Fanwood Library - Fanwood Room

A beautiful, strong, moving and dramatic story of an Irish immigrant family’s adjustment to life in the United States. Paddy Considine and Samantha Morton make the struggling Irish immigrants very real under the direction of Jim Sheridan, who is supposed to be the Johnny of the story. What they have to deal with in their new home, eventually make them conquer a world that's not kind to them. Nothing is given to them on a silver platter, which is the case with most illegal people in the country, so their tale is very believable and true to the pioneer spirit they have within themselves. But it’s the fantastic performance of the two Bolger sisters, as the daughters, which brings this film into focus. They have their feet on the ground and they know the ordeal their parents are facing. Their luminous faces and natural endear them to us in a special way. We owe Mr. Sheridan and family a lot for their courage to show us what they went through at their arrival in America.

In 1942 Michael Curtiz produced the film of the year with classic performances by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman that became one of Hollywood’s all time greats. In World War II Casablanca, Rick Blaine, exiled American and former freedom fighter, runs the most popular nightspot in town. The cynical lone wolf Blaine comes into the possession of two valuable letters of transit. When Nazi Major Strasser arrives in Casablanca, the sycophantic police Captain Renault does what he can to please him, including detaining Czech underground leader Victor Laszlo. Much to Rick's surprise, Lazslo arrives with Ilsa, Rick's one time love. Rick is very bitter towards Ilsa, who ran out on him in Paris, but when he learns she had good reason to, they plan to run off together again using the letters of transit. Well, that was their original plan....

Friday, December 17th - 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Fanwood Library - Adult Department

This is the true story of Molly Craig, a young black Australian girl who, in 1931, leads her younger sister and cousin in an escape from an official government camp, set up as part of an official government policy to train them as domestic workers and integrate them into white society. With grit and determination Molly guides the girls on an epic journey, one step ahead of the authorities, over 1,500 miles of Australia's outback in search of the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the continent and will lead them home. For days they walk north, following the fence that keeps rabbits from settlements, eluding a native tracker and the regional constabulary. Their pursuers take orders from the government's "chief protector of Aborigines," A.O. Neville, blinded by Anglo-Christian certainty and conventional wisdom. These three girls are part of what is referred to today as the 'Stolen Generations.'

LOVE LETTERS at the Fanwood Memorial Library

Sunday, February 13th - 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Fanwood Library - Adult Department

In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the Friends of the Fanwood Memorial Library will host a production of the play “Love Letters” by A. R. Gurney.
Originally produced on Broadway and starring Jason Robards and Colleen Dewhurst, “Love Letters” is composed of correspondence exchanged over a lifetime between two people who grew up together, went their separate ways, but continued to share confidences. In this evocative, touching, and frequently funny play, what is implied in the letters is as revealing and meaningful as the words the actors actually recite.
Fanwood residents and professional actors Leslie and Ann Minski star in this production. The husband and wife troupe were both recently appointed to posts in Fanwood cultural organizations, the Cultural Arts Committee and the Library board of trustees respectively.
Refreshments will be served at intermission.
Free admission--first come first served.
All adults welcome.

Fanwood Library - Adult Department

In the waning days of the American Civil War, a wounded Confederate soldier named Inman (Jude Law) embarks on a perilous journey back home to Cold Mountain, NC to reunite with his sweetheart, Ada (Nicole Kidman). Based on the novel by Charles Frazier, Inman struggles on a perilous journey to get back home to Cold Mountain, N.C. as well as to the woman he left behind before going off to fight. Along the way, he meets a long line of interesting and colorful characters, while back at home, Ada is learning the ropes of managing her deceased father's farm with Ruby (Renee Zellweger), a scrappy drifter who assists and teaches Ada along the way. With a stunning soundtrack and spectacular cast and performances this is a “don’t miss” movie!

Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have made a sweet and delicate comedy, a film to make you hold your breath it is so precisely devised. The hero, Viktor Navorski, has arrived in a vast American airport just as his nation, Krakozia, has fallen in a coup. Therefore his passport and visa are worthless, his country no longer exists, and he cannot go forward or go back. Dixon (Stanley Tucci) the customs official tells him he is free to remain in the International Arrivals Lounge, but forbidden to step foot on American soil. Also featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones this is a must see film from some of the strongest talents making movies today.

Determined to solve the coincidence of seeing the same conspicuous stranger three times in a day, Albert (Schwartzman) hires a pair of existentialist detectives (Hoffman & Tomlin), who insist on spying on his everyday life while sharing their views on life and the nature of the universe.
