Movie Night- Atonement

Saturday, May 17th, 2008 7:00pm in the Ballroom

A mischievous girl accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit, only to find that her words have irrevocably and permanently changed the lives of all involved in a film that re-teams the filmmakers behind Pride & Prejudice to adapt the best-selling 2002 novel by author Ian McEwan. The year is 1935, and as the summer heat takes hold, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis watches her older sister, Cecilia, go frolicking in the garden fountain on her family's country estate. The housekeeper's son, Robbie a childhood friend and recent Cambridge graduate, also witnesses the innocent act. When Robbie and Cecilia subsequently cross a particularly sensitive boundary and the scheming Briony accuses Robbie of an unspeakable transgression for which the boy is wholly innocent, the repercussions of her unfounded claim threaten to affect all three for decades to come. $2.00 per person includes soda and popcorn. You can make checks payable to Buena Vida Master Association and sign up at the fitness desk.

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008 7:00pm in the Library

FORGETFULNESS by Ward Just An American spy Thomas Railles, revisits his earlier life after his French wife is murdered. This story is of terrorist’s revenge and one man’s attempts to extricate himself from his past. The expatriate and former “odd-jobber” for the CIA, is devastated in the weeks and months that follow his wife’s death. He struggles to make a world that seems defined by violence and pain. When French officials detain four Moroccan terrorists and charge them with the murder, Thomas is invited to witness the interrogation. The experience completely unnerves him, changing his world utterly, and he finds himself unable to remain at a distance from America, the country he left so long ago.
