Trumbo was one of Hollywood’s highest paid screenwriters until he was blacklisted in 1947 after standing up to the House Un-American Activities Committee and was thrown into prison as one of the infamous Hollywood Ten. Afterward, he wrote several scripts under pseudonyms including “The Brave One” (for which he won an Academy Award under the name Robert Rich), “Roman Holiday” and “Spartacus,” before he was reinstated into the Writers Guild in 1960.

He and another boy murdered a child when they were themselves children. The film follows Jack’s attempts to readjust to the world outside of confinement and restart a life that never really got going. Under the fatherly mentor-ship of Terry (Peter Mullan), his parole contact and social worker, he experiences a coming of age, which would normally have happened years ago. But forces from the past are constantly upon him, as we learn more about the events leading up to the crime, which has ruined so many lives.
• “Smart People,” 6 p.m. Saturday. Sometimes the smartest people have the most to learn. Into the life of a widowed professor comes a new love and an unexpected visit from his adopted brother. Thomas Haden Church will be in attendance to do a short Q&A after the film hosted by Jeffrey Lyons.

The newly-inaugurated mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, is only beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives against crimes like noisy portable radios, graffiti and public drunkenness. “The Wackness” centers upon a troubled high school student named Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck), a teenage pot dealer who forms a friendship with Dr. Jeffrey Squires (Ben Kingsley), a psychiatrist and kindred lost soul. When the doctor proposes Luke trade him weed for therapy sessions, the two begin to explore both New York City and their own depression.

As his father’s condition worsened Morrison contemplated their shared experiences, the intimacies and the irritations of their relationship. After his father’s death Morrison questions the nature of the bond between them, articulately expressing the contradictions, frustrations, love and loss bound into the complicated relationships which most of us have with our parents as we grow up.

• “Courthouse Girls of Farmland Documentary,” 55 min. Playing at noon on Sunday at the Speakeasy.
“Courthouse Girls of Farmland” is a heartwarming and humorous look at the small town of Farmland, Ind. Like so much of the Midwest, after decades of decline, towns like Farmland are fighting for their lives, having begun the long slow slide from irrelevance to extinction. Innovation and preservation are the only possible hope for towns like this. Progress does not preclude preservation, because giving up your past forfeits any chance for a future. This was the thinking in Farmland when seven senior bridge club women decided to pose for a controversial calendar to save their county’s historic courthouse. The courthouse symbolized their past and was an important icon to their community. Their action became their personal protest and forced people to get off the fence of indecision, because apathy is as destructive as a wrecking ball. Backed by Historic Farmland USA, known for its innovative fundraising and historic preservation efforts, the women not only changed the course of rural county politics, they set an example that our elderly need not go quietly into the long good night. They were an inspiration, not only to those who are younger, but also to other seniors who felt cast aside or no longer of value.The women’s course of action was a bold statement — an act that seemed out of character, out of place, and contrary to the mainstream religious values of this conservative community.

Drawn from the coming-of-age experiences of writer Gabrielle Berberich, “Greetings From The Shore” is part memoir, part fairytale. The film was shot on an island off the coast of New Jersey, Barnegat Island, in the same seaside town where the real events occurred to Berberich. Like the setting, each character is an island. They are loners, dreamers brought together by fate for one chance summer. An ensemble cast brings these vivid characters to life, including Paul Sorvino, David Fumero, Jay O.

• “Courthouse Girls of Farmland Documentary,” 55 min. Playing at noon on Sunday at the Speakeasy.
“Courthouse Girls of Farmland” is a heartwarming and humorous look at the small town of Farmland, Ind. Like so much of the Midwest, after decades of decline, towns like Farmland are fighting for their lives, having begun the long slow slide from irrelevance to extinction. Innovation and preservation are the only possible hope for towns like this. Progress does not preclude preservation, because giving up your past forfeits any chance for a future. This was the thinking in Farmland when seven senior bridge club women decided to pose for a controversial calendar to save their county’s historic courthouse. The courthouse symbolized their past and was an important icon to their community. Their action became their personal protest and forced people to get off the fence of indecision, because apathy is as destructive as a wrecking ball. Backed by Historic Farmland USA, known for its innovative fundraising and historic preservation efforts, the women not only changed the course of rural county politics, they set an example that our elderly need not go quietly into the long good night. They were an inspiration, not only to those who are younger, but also to other seniors who felt cast aside or no longer of value.The women’s course of action was a bold statement — an act that seemed out of character, out of place, and contrary to the mainstream religious values of this conservative community.
