What a Friday this is shaping up to be. What a baller, rip-roaring,ass-kicking Friday. First of all Dive has its semi-annual party at the Local 506 at 10 pm, for free. (Don't you love shameless self-promotion.) Then, two highly anticipated movies are opening in Chapel Hill. And don't worry, neither of them are "Armored."
"Brothers" (Wide): This remake of an award-winning 2004 Danish film, directed by Irish film-maker Jim Sheridan, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire, has all the trappings of an emotionally powerful Oscar-contender. It follows the story of two brothers, a straight-laced Marine (Maguire) missing in action in Afghanistan and his ne'er-do-well sibling (Gyllenhaal) who looks after his brother's wife and kids, getting a little closer than a missing husband would like.
When the Marine is found alive and returns home, he begins to spiral out of control with the worst-case-scenarios of a traumatized veteran. Look for some heavy-duty war time drama from the two lead males, as well as Natalie Portman, who plays Maguire's grieving wife.
