“Layer Cake” 8:40
Classic gangster fare starring Michael Gambon (better known as beloved Albus Dumbledore in the “Harry Potter” series) as a ruthless drug kingpin, a role which will assuredly be overlooked in favor of his portrayal of Albus Dumbledore in the “Harry Potter” series.

“My Summer of Love” 5:20, 7
The story of two British 16-year-olds who discover love in an emotional whirlwind that will appeal to 16-year-olds about as much as taking summer school algebra.

“The Place Promised in Our Early Days” 7, Sat.-Sun. 5
This anime film from renowned director and animator Makoto Shinkai sounds animezing. See “War of the Worlds” first though, to cleanse your palate.

“Time Bandits” 9, Sat. 2
This film scared the living fuck out of me when I was a kid, and I feel I’ve never quite recovered. If you insist on bringing the fam, have a serious heart-to-heart with the little ones first, explaining that not all Supreme Beings/midgets are bad. I sure wish my dad had.
