[NEohioPAL]RE: Come To See "Match Point" at Stocker this Friday!

[Janet Barlow]

We hope you'll join us Friday at 8:00p.m. for the next film in our Fall
Film Series -- Woody Allen's "MATCH POINT"!  Here are the details:

Friday, September 8, 2006 - 8:00p.m.
"MATCH POINT"

2005 (R) 124 min. USA 
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emily Mortimer, Matthew
Goode

The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life.
People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck.
It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments
in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second
it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes
forward and you win...or maybe it doesn't, and you lose. A one-time
tennis pro, Chris Wilton was used to falling just short in his life. But
when he befriends Tom Hewett and marries his sister, Chloe, the doors
are opened to the kind of money and success that Chris had once only
dreamed of having. Chris should have settled for happiness, but he is
torn by his attraction to Tom's impossibly beautiful and alluring
fiancée, Nola. The attraction turns to an obsession that forces Chris to
make a critical choice. Now everything in his life hinges on whether or
not Chris falls short again...and if his luck runs out. "MATCH POINT" is
a philosophical thriller about ambition and obsession, the seduction of
wealth, class and infidelity, and the often irreconcilable relationship
between love and sexual passion. Perhaps most importantly, however, the
story reveals the huge part luck plays in the events of our lives,
refuting the comforting misconception that more of life is under our
control than really is.  Written and directed by Academy Award winner
Woody Allen, "MATCH POINT" represents a departure for the native New
Yorker, the majority of whose films lovingly depict New York and - not
always so lovingly - New Yorkers.  Crossing the Atlantic for the first
time in his film career, Allen set "MATCH POINT" in London, where it was
also filmed.  There are no little secrets.

Premiering to rave reviews at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, "MATCH
POINT" is Woody Allen's best film in years.

"MATCH POINT is wittier and more coherent than anything (Woody Allen)
has done in ages; it is well made and well thought out to its very last
shot." - Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER
