Pretty strong week, movie pals. The Heights begins its Argentine noir series, with some rarely shown films. The Trylon's 21st Century Dystopia series wraps up strong. Plenty of Oscar nominees (some of which are actually good) are returning to theaters. Plus you get a chance to see Audition, The Double Life of Véronique, and, if you're not careful, a new Kevin Sorbo movie.
