DULY NOTED

A ROYAL AFFAIR 3-stars, (R) This film follows an 18th-century love triangle between the Queen of Denmark, her deranged King, and a German doctor. When the young King of Denmark starts suffering a mental illness, the doctor that is hired to come help care for the King quickly steals the heart of the Queen. Torn between her newly found love and her loyalty to the crown, the Queen faces the ultimate decision: succumb to her feelings for the doctor or remain the Queen.

HITCHCOCK: (PG-13) This biographical film follows the life of the most famous horror movie-maker of all time, Alfred Hitchcock. Focusing in on the later part of his career, people in Hollywood are starting to doubt if Hitchcock has any good films left in him. When Hitchcock finds the inspiration to do one of his most famous films, PSYCHO, even his wife doubts if he can pull it off. Funding the film on his own, Hitchcock puts everything (including his marriage) on the line to pull it off. UA TARA, 2345 Cheshire Bridge Road’’
SAHKANAGA: Based on the true story of the 300 some-odd bodies found buried around a crematory in Noble, GA, this film is following the perspective of a young teenager who finds the first body. Filmed near the real location of this tragedy, using unprofessional actors that had real connections to the events, this horror film creepily hits close to home.

WAKE IN FRIGHT: 4-stars, (R) A teacher travels to a remote mining town in the outback of Australia en route to Sydney, planning to only stay in town for one night. But as John begins to booze it up at a local bar, he embarks a delirious 5-day drunken journey with a pack of wild locals. Fading in and out of reality and consciousness this slow-moving creepy film builds up as the plot unfolds. As he goes head-on into his own destruction, the character the audience thought they knew fades away. Midtown Art Cinema, 931 Monroe Drive
