adaptation of James Thurber's
short story, Ben Stiller stars as
Walter, a milquetoast proofreader
for a magazine publishing firm.
Walter is constitu-
" notionally incapable
of standing up for

tasy world, where
he is heroic,
poised, self-
assured, and the
master of his fate.

7/17 - THE MONUMENTS MEN
The incredible true story of the sev-
en art historians and museum cura-
tors who went behind enemy lines
during World War II on a mission to
recover some of the world's great-
est works of art. As the Third Reich
begins to topple, the German army
receives explicit orders to destroy
every work of art in their posses-
sion. Determined to prevent 1000
years of culture from going up in
flames, American President Frank-
lin Delano Roosevelt assembles an
unlikely task force comprised en-
tirely of art experts to enter Germa-
ny, recover the works of art, and
ensure they are returned to their
rightful owners. With little
knowledge of modern weapons or
warfare tactics, the
ragtag squadron
successfully makes
-� their way into enemy
territory before real-
izing they've got
their work cut out for

(Domhnall Gleeson) is 21 and lone-
ly. In the harsh morning light follow-
ing a depressing New Year's Eve
party, however, he discovers a fam-
ily secret that will change his life
forever. Entrusted by his father (Bill
Nighy) with the knowledge that the
men in their family can time travel,
Cornwall native Tim relocates to
London to study law, and find a girl-
friend. The moment Tim locks eyes
with gorgeous Mary (Rachel McAd-
ams) he knows he's
*, found the woman of
his dreams. But as
ry a+ i soon as they've fall-
en in love, an unex-
pected glitch in the
time travel renders
• s� ' them complete
strangers again.
Now, in order to win back Mary's
heart, Tim will have to travel into
the past time and again. Eventual-
ly, he seems to master the pro-
cess, using his unique talent to
create an unforgettable marriage
proposal, ensure his wedding to
Mary goes off without a hitch, and
circumvent a massive traffic jam
that blocks their route to the hospi-
tal when his wife goes into labor,
but in time Tim discovers that the
true key to happiness lies not in his
ability to fix the problems of the
past, but instead make the abso-
lute most of his life in the present.

Medicare Appeals
If you have Medicare, you have the right to appeal decisions you disagree with. All steps in the appeal process
have specific time frames and other requirements. It is very important to pay attention to the time limits for ap-
peals!
Some appealable situations are:
Medicare denies your request for a health care service, supply, or prescription
Medicare denies payment for health care that you have already received
Medicare stops covering services that you are receiving
Medicare pays a different amount than you believe it should
For assistance with appeals, the Medicare Advocacy Project (MAP) provides free advice and legal representation.
MAP can assist anyone with Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan, regardless of income. For assis-
tance from MAP, call the Massachusetts Senior Legal Helpline at 866-778-0939.
For assistance with understanding and accessing your Medicare benefits, you can call the Watertown Senior Center
at 617-972-6490 and ask for a SHINE appointment. Trained SHINE volunteers offer free, confidential counseling
on all aspects of health insurance to anyone on Medicare. You can also reach a SHINE counselor by telephone.

your name and number. A volunteer counselor will call you back, as soon as possible.
