OPENING:
Jonah Hex: Josh Brolin and Megan Fox co-star in this comic-book adaptation about a “disfigured gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter.” With John Malkovich as the baddie. PG13. 84 min. Movies 12.
Killers: Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher play a newlywed couple whose perfect life gets complicated when Spencer (Kutcher) reveals that, oh, yeah, he’s actually a spy. How many more of these movies can we tolerate? Was it necessary to make Mr. and Mrs. Smith: The Knockoff? PG13. Movies 12.
Ramona and Beezus: Adapting Beverly Cleary’s iconic books about Ramona and her big sister Beezus, and filming them somewhere that’s not Cleary’s Portland neighborhood? How could they? G. Cinemark. VRC Stadium 15.
Runaways, The: Kristen Stewart is Joan Jett, Dakota Fanning is Cherie Currie, and reviews are mixed of this biopic about the ’70s teen rock queens behind “Cherry Bomb” — and their “Svengali-like” manager Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon, who was outstanding in Revolutionary Road). Directed by Flora Sigismondi. R. 109 min. David Minor Theater
Salt: Angelina Jolie is a badass again. What more could you need to know? She’s a sleeper spy! She has to prove she’s not trying to assassinate the president! The movie will surely have even more exclamation points than this small paragraph! PG13. 99 min. Cinemark. VRC Stadium 15.
Secret in Their Eyes, The: This year’s Academy-Award winner for Best Foreign Film is a story about a man writing a novel about a 1970s crime. Flashbacks return to the era of the crime — and the writer’s connection to the story, the judge who ruled on the case and the Argentine government of the era. “An attractive, messy drama,” said The New York Times. R. 127 min. Bijou. See review this issue.
Sugarland Express, The: Steven Spielberg’s first feature, from 1977, follows an outlaw couple trying to keep their family together. Screens as part of the DIVA/LCC Behind the Lens seminar, which this summer is focused on lesser-known films from well-known directors. 7 pm Tuesday, July 27, at DIVA. $3.

A Note From the Publisher
Dear Readers,
The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.
That’s because of you!
Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.
Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.
We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.
And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.
None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.
As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.
Thank you for standing with us!
