Crazy With The Heat!: "Luce," "Brittany Runs a Marathon," "Be Natural" and more!

Blame global warming or just hot air coming from Washington DC, but whatever the cause, the summer heat just won't stop this year. It's nuts, and that means there's nothing better than OPAC (Other People's Air Conditioning) And there's no better place for that than your local theater. And even though the movie companies aren't exactly putting out their most prestige product that doesn't mean there aren't some interesting films to catch up on. We've taken the trouble to find several for you. For instance there's a fascinating documentary on the musical "Fidler on the Roof" which tells how it went from failure to fabled. Then there's the drama "Luce," It stars Tim Roth and Naomi Watts as a married couple forced to reckon with their idealized image of their son, adopted from war-torn Eritrea, after an alarming discovery by a devoted high school teacher (Octavia Spencer) threatens his status as an all-star student. And there's "Brittany Runs a Marathon" staring Jillian Bell who seeks to take control of her life by, well, the title gives it away. Plus there's the documentary "Be Natural" about pioneering filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché, who was somehow erased from history. We've got everything you need to beat this never-ending summer heat. Well, except a gin & tonic.
