This challenging, arty biopic about artist Vincent Van Gogh features a fine performance by Willem Dafoe. The movie depicts the artist struggling, with little success, in 1880's Paris. He meets painter Paul Gauguin, leaves Paris for the south, and - with support from his beloved brother Theo - rediscovers nature. His erratic behavior, however, continues to sabotage his life.

This meeting has been cancelled. The next Measure Z meeting will be held Sept. 12.

Meet Eele, a licensed therapy dog, and her human, Joan. Read to Eele, tell her a story, or just give her belly a rub. Reading to a dog is a low-pressure way for children to practice their reading skills, and fun besides! A parent or legal guardian must sign a permission form before children read with Eele. Stop by the desk in the children's room to complete the form and sign up for a turn with Eele.

Friends of Arcata Library will host Arts Arcata! and photographer Stuart Moskowitz at his photographic exhibit, 'Where There's a Fire . . .' View firefighting photographs taken and exhibited in galleries throughout California in the 1980's that depict the lives of firefighting crews who stay together 24 hours a day, eat together, travel together, and sleep together. As crew leader, Moskowitz's job was to watch his crew. It put him in the perfect position to capture, through the lens of his camera, the camaraderie and the dance that happens when working with a twenty-person crew. With so many recent headlines about devastating fires, Moskowitz believes his firefighting photographs help provide an insider's view of what it means to be on a firefighting crew.

When a famous neurologist explores brother Mark's brain disorder, his whole world turns upside down.

Eli Roth's new spookfest is a 'starter horror movie' for families and tweens and contains scenes to make you jump. It is based on John Bellairs' same-named 1970s children's book, in which an uncle's mansion hides in its walls a ticking doomsday clock. The movie version is very spooky with scary dolls, sounds, blood, witchcraft, necromancy, and the occult. The 'good' witch and warlocks, however, prevail against the forces of evil that threaten the world.
