DEFINITELY, MAYBE (PG-13)  112min  5:30 and 8:00
This delightful romantic comedy stars Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) as a schoolgirl full of questions about her divorced dad's (Ryan Reynolds) courtship of her mother after her first sex education class at school started her thinking.  With intelligence, charm and actual intrigue, Dad spins a bedtime tale of his three loves, charging his daughter with the task of figuring out which woman he finally married and who became her mom.  Set in New York City, dad begins that he had just left his college sweetheart (Elizabeth Banks) behind in Wisconsin while he went off to work on the first presidential campaign of Gov. Bill Clinton.  He meets an ambitious journalist who is also dating her thesis advisor, and a quirky office worker helping but uncommitted to the campaign.  This engaging film is unpredictable, witty and honestly real.

Fri 3/14 - Mon 3/17
THE SAVAGES  (R)  113min   6:00 and 8:30
As not-that-close, self-absorbed, never-married siblings dealing with the increasing dementia of their estranged father (Philip Bosco) after the death of his partner, Laura Linney (Kinsey, Breach) earned an Oscar-nomination for her performance, while co-star Philip Seymour Hoffman's equally impressive work took a back seat to his Oscar-nominated performance in Charlie Wilson's War.  Writer –director Tamara Jenkins, whose last film was semi-autobiographical The Slums of Beverly Hills a decade ago, earned herself an Academy nomination for her original screenplay, a wry, sad, funny and honestly forthright story that follows this fumbling brother and sister during a winter of coming to terms with a lifetime of disappointments as they work together to make their ailing dad comfortable, despite that he never cared for them. 

Tues 3/18 - Thurs 3/20
WAR/DANCE (PG-13)  105min   6:00 and 8:15
This Oscar-nominated documentary by husband and wife team Sean and Andrea Nix Fine juxtaposes the cathartic healing abilities of music, song and dance with the horrors experienced by three young teens, members of the Acholi tribe, displaced by an ongoing 20 year rebellion in Northern Uganda where the rebels abduct children, boys to serve in their army and girls to service their adult soldiers.  With power, compassion and beauty, the filmmakers interweave the stories of the broken lives of these orphaned children who now live in the squalor that is the Patango Refugee Camp with the spiritual recharge gained by qualifying for, preparing for and finally participating in the National Music Competition in Kampala with students from all over their country.  These students, whose childhoods have been stolen, sing and dance with heartfelt joy the stories of their ancestors, of their homeland, of their future.
