Box Office Stars Arrive at Baldwin

From Ben Affleck to Angelina Jolie, Baldwin has the biggest stars to get your through the holidays.

 

What better way to get through the holidays than with some big name movies? Baldwin Public Library has you covered. This week's Library Picks are:

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (DVD)

Oliver Stone's sequel to the original Wall Street finds Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), recently released from prison, trying to regain a position of prominence in the world of finance after the 2008 market meltdown. 

The Town (DVD)

Ben Affleck directs and stars in this film adaptation of Chuck Hogan's book Prince of Thieves. Affleck plays Doug MacRay, a lifelong bank robber whose romance with a possible witness to one of his crimes compels him to seek a way out of his life of crime. 

Easy A (DVD)

Emma Stone stars as Olive Penderghast, a high school student with two rapidly growing reputations: the first as a girl who will sleep with any guy, and the second (for those in the know) as a girl who will pretend to sleep with guys to boost their reputation.

Salt (DVD)

Angelina Jolie stars as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who is accused of being a mole for the Russians. This accusation sets into action a chain international chase sequences and plot twists that don't relent until the very end.
