The Stalking Moon—This 1968 western was released when Hollywood was
just about finished with the genre and the film went largely unnoticed.
Gregory Peck plays a scout who retires from the military to ranch with
a friend in New Mexico. Circumstances soon have Peck taking a white
woman (Eva Marie Saint) and her mixed-blood son with him. Only later
does he learn that the boy's father, an Apache warrior, is following
them and intends to reclaim his son, and perhaps kill the woman for
deserting him. The film has suspense, creepy shadows and eerie noises
in the dark and at times seems more like a mystery than a western.
Admission (includes museum) adults $3, seniors $2, ages 6 to 17 $1.
1:30 p.m. Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum, 4100 Dripping Springs Road,
522-4100, www.frhm.org.
SUNDAY 19
Silver City/Grant County
Paradise Now—This 2005 film follows two days
in the lives of Said (Kais Nashef) and Khaled (Ali Suliman), two
Palestinians, garage mechanics and best friends, who are recruited
to cross into Israel and blow themselves up. Said is also falling
in love with a woman, Suha (Lubna Azabal), who questions terrorist
acts on both theological and practical grounds. Directed by Hany
Abu-Assad and written by Abu-Assad and Bero Beyer. Wrote Roger
Ebert: "The film is dangerous because of its objectivity,
its dispassionate attention to the actual practical process by which
volunteers are trained and prepared for the act of destruction." Rated
PG-13 (for mature thematic material and brief strong language).
In Arabic with English subtitles. 4 p.m. International Film Society,
Real West Cinema II, 538-5142, scfilmsoc@zianet.com.
