Rams

(102 Fifth St. Next to the railroad depot, 247-8133, www.allentheatresinc.com)(Wednesday only) (English subtitles) This charming, stunningly shot drama focuses on two Icelandic sheep farmers whose decadeslong feud comes to a head when disaster strikes their flocks. In a secluded valley, estranged brothers Gummi and Kiddi live side by side tending to their prized ancestral sheep stock, despite not having spoken in 40 years. When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi’s sheep, all the animals in the area are culled to contain the outbreak, with many farmers abandoning their land. But the brothers don’t give up so easily – and each tries to stave off the disaster in his own fashion: Kiddi by using his rifle and Gummi by using his wits. As the authorities close in, they will need to come together to save the special breed passed down for generations – and themselves – from extinction. Rated R.

Money Monster

Lee Gates is a TV personality whose insider tips have made him the money guru of Wall Street. When Kyle loses all of his family’s money on a bad tip, he holds Lee and his entire show hostage on air threatening to kill Lee if he does not get the stock up 24 and a half points before the bell. Ratings soar as the entire country tunes in to this media frenzy to find out just how much a man’s life is worth.

With elements of “Dog Day Afternoon” and “Network,” “Money Monster” is a very timely piece in these economic times. Rated R.
