Flick Picks 5/7

New This Week
It's a slow week for new releases but the filmed-in-Chicago The Vow is sure to please you romance lovers. Rachel McAdams wakes up from a coma with severe memory loss and Channing Tatum has to win her love back. Bring lots of kleenex!

There's good news for lovers of Showtime's dramedy The Big C, as the second season hits dvd. Golden Globe winner Laura Linney returns as melanoma survivor Cathy Jamison, who finds support from family and friends as she examines her life.

Next week's new releases feature Liam Neeson vs. wolves, a pack of kids with superheroes who aren't the Avengers and a woman who dresses as a man. You can put holds on our new and forthcoming releases through our Bibliocommons catalog.

Mother's Day is Coming Up
Why not show mom a family-themed movie she loves?


Interesting People Make For Entertaining Films
Charlotte Rampling: The Look talks to the actress and her friends and acquaintances in order to form a portrait of her nontraditional approach to a successful film career. Paul Goodman Changed My Life provides a fascinating portrait of the poet, pacifist and counterculture figure and the New York he inhabited. Garbo: The Spy tells the story of Juan Pujol, a Spanish double agent during WWII who was one of the few to receive decorations from both sides. Three great profiles of three compelling people!
