Friday, September 12th: Forum Films: Sustainable Energy. "Up the Yangtze" at 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. in Browning Cinema. Get a jump-start on the Notre Dame Forum this year by venturing out to see "Up the Yangtze," directed by Yung Chang. Chung's film depicts the difficult situation surrounding China's Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River. It will be the largest hydroelectric power station in the world, but is displacing more than a million residents and destroying numerous historical sites. The film follows two young people, each affected by the construction and captures the beauty of the landscape before it is destroyed and lost forever. At just over an hour and a half, this is a great way to get caught up on a pertinent current event before the forum. Tickets are $3.
Saturday, September 13th. SUB Movies presents "Iron Man" in 101 DeBartolo at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. "Iron Man" is more than just another super hero movie. It centers on the character of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), a sarcastic, morally ambiguous playboy and engineering genius. While in Afghanistan showing off his new missile Stark is captured by evildoers who want him to build the missile for them. Instead, he creates an armored suit and breaks out, escaping back to the United States where he announces that his company, Stark Industries, will stop producing weapons. But not everyone is happy with Stark's change of heart. Can 'Iron Man' stop his nefarious foes? The film also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard as Stark's friend Col. James Rhodes. Admission is $3. (There are also showings on Thursday 10 p.m., Friday 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.)
