This week at the Harbor Theater
"Captain America: Brave New World" - (PG13; 1 hour, 59 minutes) - A new era begins as Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) steps fully into the role of Captain America, but his mission is far from simple. When a high-stakes rescue mission leads to the discovery of a mysterious package, Sam and his Falcon-in-training Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez) are invited to the White House by newly elected President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford) for a pivotal international treaty announcement. However, what should be a moment of unity quickly turns into a global crisis. As chaos erupts, Sam finds himself entangled in a dangerous conspiracy with world-altering consequences. With enemies lurking in the shadows and trust in short supply, he must work alongside his mentor Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) to uncover the true mastermind behind the chaos—before it's too late. Wednesday, April 2, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, April 3, 7 p.m.
"Mickey 17" - (R; 2 hours, 17 minutes) - Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey Barnes, an ordinary guy who agrees to an extraordinary—and terrifying—job: to die over and over again. As an “Expendable” on a distant ice planet, Mickey’s role is to take on the colony’s most dangerous missions, from breathing toxic air to testing unproven vaccines. Every time he dies, he’s regenerated in a new body with all his memories intact. It’s a brutal existence, but for Mickey, it beats the deadly trouble he left behind on Earth. But things take a mind-bending turn when Mickey begins to suspect something is wrong—especially when his next iteration, Mickey 8, shows up. Caught between a tyrannical colony leader (Mark Ruffalo), his calculating wife (Toni Collette), and a reality that may not be what it seems, Mickey must fight not just for survival, but for identity. From Parasite's Academy Award-winning writer-director Bong Joon Ho and based on the acclaimed sci-fi novel "Mickey7" by Edward Ashton, Mickey 17 is a visually dazzling, darkly humorous, and thought-provoking look at what it means to be human—even when you’re infinitely replaceable. Opening Friday, April 4, 7 p.m., Saturday, April 5, 7 p.m., Sunday, April 6, 2 p.m., Wednesday, April 9, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, April 10, 7 p.m.
“I feel like it has the makings of a cult classic—a dystopian space comedy/adventure with shades of Terry Gilliam.” – Max Wise - Baltimore Magazine
"Mickey 17" - (R; 1 hour, 50 minutes) - Steve Coogan plays Tom Michell, a weary British teacher who takes a job at a Buenos Aires boarding school in 1976, hoping for peace—but finds political unrest and a tough classroom instead. A spontaneous trip to Uruguay leads him to rescue a penguin, Juan Salvador, who unexpectedly becomes his unlikely companion. Smuggled back to the school, the penguin begins to charm students and staff alike, transforming Tom’s outlook and creating unexpected connections. Set during Argentina’s political turmoil and based on Tom Michell’s memoir, this heartwarming tale celebrates friendship, second chances, and the power of one small penguin to spark big change. Opening Friday, April 11.
"The Singing Revolution" - A free community event - (G; 1 hour, 34 minutes) - The historically vital tale of how Estonians freed themselves from decades of Soviet occupation and helped topple an empire through song. In Estonia, song was the weapon of choice between 1986 and 1991. This film documents how, during those years, hundreds of thousands of Estonians gathered publicly to sing forbidden patriotic songs and to listen to protest speeches, risking their lives to proclaim their desire for independence. The revolutionary songs they created anchored Estonia’s struggle for freedom, which was ultimately accomplished without the loss of a single life. For more, see article about this film in this section of the paper. One show only. Free and open to the public. Sunday, April 13, 6 p.m.
“This fine and surprising documentary asks an even more challenging question: Can music promote nonviolence, prevent bloodshed and successfully overthrow an oppressive regime? Again -- astonishingly -- the answer is 'yes.'” – Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
