"Muriel (Toni Collette) is overburdened, overweight, and in hot pursuit of her dream husband while everyone around her victimizes her with their nasty comments in this dark Australian comedy.

He must decide each night which house (and which wife) he will stay with and the red lantern burning in front of the house is the proof of his decision.

Summer Film Series for Adults

2 p.m. – 5 p.m. Saturday August 15

Join us Saturday for our Book to Film series featuring The Big Sleep starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. In this film based on the book by Raymond Chandler, L.A. private detective Philip Marlowe takes on a blackmail case and follows a trail peopled by murderers, pornographers, nightclub rogues, the spoiled rich - just to name a few. Marlowe is hired to protect a young woman and in the process, he falls in love with the woman's older sister.

Woman of the Year

One of the library’s newest DVDs is also one of my favorite classics, Woman of the Year starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. In the comedic drama, Hepburn plays Tess Harding, a powerful, opinionated newspaper columnist who marries practical sports reporter Sam Craig, played by Tracy. Throughout the movie Harding struggles to balance her career ambitions with her marital responsibilities. The contrast between Craig and Harding leads to some heart wrenching moments; however, the film ends with a scene involving the two at their comedic best. Check out Woman of the Year!
