The following two movies will be playing this week at OFS: Mama Mia! (Oct. 12-Oct. 17): From OFS: "Bride-to-be Sophie has, unbeknownst to her mother, invited three of her mom's exes to her wedding to find out which one is her father. In this screen adaptation of the smash Broadway musical, of course chaos, merriment, and singing and dancing ensue. This film features an all-star cast, Greek isle settings, and catchy ABBA tunes you won't be able to get out of your head." Battle in Seattle (Oct. 12-Oct. 17): From imdb: "WTO veterans and "This Is What Democracy Looks Like" fans may grumble, but should give this fictionalized version of the 1999 WTO protests a chance -- no, Townsend wasn't there at the time, and yes, the characters he follows can seem at times more symbolic than real, but as Sean Axmaker says in Green Cine, 'I have to hand it to Townsend for not only showing how the protests caught the city by surprise and capturing the chaos within the loose organization of protesters... but also for getting beyond slogans to explain what the WTO was doing and what the protesters stood for, at least to come extent.'"
