Station Agent — The hero of this 2003 film is 4-foot-5-inch Fin McBride (Peter Dinklage), a repository of arcane information about the rails.

Fin meets Olivia (Patricia Clarkson), an artist grieving over the accidental death of her young son. Joe (Bobby Cannavale), a chatty hot dog vendor, imposes himself upon the two. The trio's budding friendship illustrates the importance of being able to tell good people from bad. Rated R. CineMatinee. 1:30 p.m. $5, $2 MVFS Members.
