The Time Traveler's Wife

The content of this story lies somewhere between sci-fi, romance, and on a deeper level, free will. Eric Bana plays Henry, a reference librarian who was born with a rare genetic condition that leads him to involuntarily time travel. Henry is not in control of his condition and finds himself time travelling without warning, which makes it difficult for him to maintain a “normal” life. Rachel McAdams plays his wife who obviously struggles with his impromptu absences. This film is based on the book by Audrey Niffenegger, who said she wrote the book for librarians and aging punks. 108 minutes (2009) PG13

ALIEN

“In space, no one can hear you scream.” Join us for a screening and discussion of Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic about a commercial towing spaceship which is invaded by an androgynous creature looking for its mother. This is one possible interpretation of the film, though there are many ways to read its ambiguous themes surrounding gender, commerce, technology, and “abject horror”. We will examine these themes along with the film’s development and overall cultural impact.

USA, 1979, 124 minutes, rated 14A
