[Reel Pizza] update

hey everyone
Oops!  I got caught up in the routine that is the 15th of the month, and this slipped by.

Anyhow...
Today's senior matinee at 1:30 is LARS AND THE REAL GIRL.

In case you were wondering, we are indeed hosting our annual Oscar Night Gala Benefit for the Beth C. Wright Cancer Center again this year, with or without a televised ceremony.  It is scheduled for Feb 24.  Stay tuned for further details.

To those of you who are so lucky, have a great long weekend.
Starting tomorrow we will have:

Fri Jan 18 - Thurs Jan 24
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN  (R)  122min  6:00 and 8:30
Joel and Ethan Coen, in their first literary adaptation (of the Cormac McCarthy novel), have made a universally critically acclaimed film.  Set in West Texas in 1980, the evocative cinematography of Roger Deakins enhances the captivating performances which sustain this tense crime drama- chase film spattered with their signature dark humor.  Josh Brolin is a Vietnam vet who stumbles upon and steals $2 million in drug money; Javier Bardem is indelible as a freakish psychopath on the trail of the money; Tommy Lee Jones is the local sheriff trying to intercept and prevent the unavoidable confrontation.  This film recently won Golden Globe awards for best screenplay (Joel and Ethan Coen) and best supporting actor (Javier Bardem).

Fri Jan 18 - Mon Jan 21
THE WATERHORSE: Legend of the Deep  (PG)  111min  5:30 and 7:45
This magical, fantastic adventure is based on a book by Dick King-Smith (Babe), produced by Walden Media (Because of Winn Dixie, Holes), features special effects from Weta (Lord of the Rings) and is directed by Jay Russell (My Dog Skip, Tuck Everlasting).  Young Angus (Alex Etel, Millions) is a lonely Scottish boy who finds a mysterious rock, which hatches into an equally mysterious, as well as mischievous, creature that grows up to be the legendary Loch Ness monster.  This is a thoughtful, intelligent and exciting film the whole family can enjoy.

Tues Jan 22 - Thurs Jan 24
OUTSOURCED (PG-13)  98min 5:30 and 7:45
This modern day, cross-cultural romantic comedy is a smart, affectionate look at the effect of cultural differences on work, friendship and love.  Todd is the manager of a customer call center for American novelty products whose entire department has just been out-sourced to India.  To add insult to injury, he must travel to Bombay to train his replacement team.  Hoping to get this over with as soon as possible, he quickly realizes he won't be home soon; like when he tells his new team they are selling �kitsch to redneck schmucks� and has to define all three words.  Besides, they call him Mr. Toad.  But he eventually discovers that being out-sourced might be the best thing that has ever happened to him.
