Back Space Theatre
(1120 Main Ave., 259-7940, www.thebackspacetheatre.org)
Ghosts of the West. Certainly a fine choice for this part of the world, this film takes us on a journey to revisit the old mines and towns of the west. Not rated.
Gaslight Cinema
(102 Fifth St. Next to the railroad depot, 247-8133, www.allentheatresinc.com)
Epic. Apparently in Hollywood, making these animated things is like printing money. In this one, some girl in the woods has to battle evil and save the world. I guess we should thank her. Rated PG.
Mud. Two teen boys befriend a fugitive (Matthew McConaughey) and help him evade the law and find his gal (Reese Witherspoon). Rated PG-13.
Durango Stadium 9
(Next to Durango Mall, 247-9799, www.allentheatresinc.com)
War Witch. (Wednesday only) A 14-year old African girl tells her life story to her unborn child. Abducted by rebel soldiers at age 12, it’s not a wonderful life. Not rated.
After Earth. A buddy pic with a twist: after Earth becomes unlivable, Will Smith is a general who crash lands on the ol’ rock with his son (real son Jaden) who must then fend for the both of them when Dad gets injured. (See review this page.) Rated PG-13.
Now You See Me. A group of super magicians keep pulling off bank heists while they’re on stage, much to the chagrin of a confused FBI. Rated PG-13.
Epic. See above. Rated PG.
Fast and Furious 6. More high-adrenaline street racing. One would think audiences should know what to expect by now. Rated PG-13.
The Hangover Part III. With no pretense of wedding fanfare, the Wolfpack is left to roam the streets of Vegas with absolutely no moral compass. Rated R.
Star Trek Into Darkness. (In standard format and digital 3-D with surcharge.) Another prequel wherein a young Kirk (Chris Pine) goes on an intergalactic manhunt to stop a bad guy. He would go on to do this many times. Rated PG-13.
The Great Gatsby. Leo stars as Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age playboy with all kinds of cinematic spectacle. Rated PG-13.
Iron Man 3. Tony Stark puts on his cool suit and keeps fighting the good fight. Rated PG-13.
