BABY MAMA (PG-13) 96min 5:30 and 8:00
Tina Fey (Mean Girls) and her Saturday Night Live costar Amy Poehler join comic forces to tell the story of two women, one apartment and the nine months together that will change their lives. Older, single business woman Katie Holbrook (Fey) is finally determined to have a child of her own, but can't conceive. South Philly working girl Angie (Poehler) becomes her unlikely surrogate. Then this well-organized strategy is shaken when the surrogate loses her home and comes to live with Katie. These two opposites struggle their way through the preparations for the baby�s arrival.
Friday May 30 - Monday June 2
HAROLD AND KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO (R) 102min 6:00 and 8:30
Hilarious slackers Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn, The Namesake) get a little political, but no less politically correct in their second silly stoner comedy. Headed to Amsterdam, they sneak pot onto their flight and their smoking instrument is mistaken for a bomb. The boys are promptly redirected to Guantanamo by Homeland Security, but they escape, still in their orange jumpsuits, and take a roadtrip across the southern US as they run from the law and try to prove their innocence.
Tuesday June 3 - Thursday June 5
UNDER THE SAME MOON (PG-13) 109min [in English and in Spanish with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:30
Surprisingly light, this heartwarming film is about an illegal Mexican mom (Kate del Castillo) working in Los Angeles, and her young son (Adrian Alonso, Legend of Zorro) who undertakes an arduous, harrowing journey to join her, when his guardian and grandma in Mexico dies. The debut film from director Patricia Riggen honestly earns its emotional pull while touching on timely issues of immigration and discrimination. America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) is a college student turned smuggler, raising money to pay her tuition. This film earned a standing ovation at the Sundance Film Festival.
Friday June 6 - Thurs June 12
INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (PG-13) 123min 6:00 and 8:30
Harrison Ford dons his fedora one more time, with Steven Spielberg directing and George Lucas writing another caper for our favorite archeologist. It is 1957 now and Indy is causing trouble with the Soviets and they have pressured the government to dismiss him from his teaching position. On his way out of town, he meets a rebellious young kid (Shia La Beouf, Holes) who offers knowledge about the legendary crystal skull of Akator, but only if he helps with a personal mission. When these two get to the remote corner of Peru, they realize they are not alone in their search.
Friday June 6 - Monday June 9
THE COUNTERFEITERS (R) 98min [in German with subtitles] 5:30 and 8:00
Winning this year�s Oscar for best foreign language film, Austrian director Stefan Ruzowitzky�s Holocaust-era drama deftly looks at the moral dilemma of a Jewish criminal, a professional counterfeiter, whose life in the concentration camp is vastly improved when he is chosen to help with a Nazi scheme to counterfeit British and American currency to destabilize the enemy�s economies. He conflicts with another chosen prisoner bent on sabotaging the operation (the man upon whose memoir this film is based). It is a deeply impressive work that addresses a topic not often explored in cinema.
Tuesday June 10 - Thursday June 12
BLINDSIGHT (PG) 104min [in Tibetan with subtitles] 5:30 and 8:00
Tibetan culture believes that blindness is a karmic punishment for sins committed in a past life, or is a result of being possessed by a demon. Documentary filmmaker Lucy Walker (Devil�s Playground) follows the gripping adventure of six blind Tibetan teens who, with their innovative, blind teacher, who founded Tibet�s only school for the blind Braille without Borders, set out to climb the 23,000 ft peak on the north side of Mt. Everest, under the guidance and encouragement of famed, blind American climber Eric Weihenmayer. The resulting remarkable journey juxtaposes the competitiveness of the American guides to reach the summit, with the shared sensory experience favored by the Asians. This powerful, inspirational film was exquisitely photographed by cinematographer Petr Cikart (Into the Void).
