THE LAST STATION (R)  112min   6:00 and 8:30
Rich, funny and emotional, this historical drama follows two romances a century ago.  First is the nearly 50 year union between iconic Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy (Oscar Nominee Christopher Plummer) and his devoted wife Countess Sofya (Oscar Nominee Helen Mirren).  In the name of a new religion championed by Tolstoy's trusted disciple Chertkov (Paul Giamatti) that espouses poverty, vegetarianism, communal living and celibacy, the cunning acolyte has convinced the old man to change his will giving his estate not to his family, but to the Russian people.  This has ejected some conflict into the long-standing relationship. Tolstoy's worshipful new assistant Bulgakov (James McAvoy) is used by both sides of the property rights battle for information, even as his beliefs are overwhelmed by his feelings for another Tolstoyan (Kerry Condon).  Director Michael Hoffman has made a complex, dynamic, totally entertaining and unmissable film.
 
Fri March 26 - Mon March 29
PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: The Lightning Thief  (PG)  120min   5:30 and 8:00
Director Chris Columbus (Harry Potter 1 & 2, Mrs. Doubtfire) brings thrilling excitement to this adaptation of the first of Rick Riordan�s popular mythology-based adventure series, which predates H. Potter by several years.  When dyslexic teen Percy (Logan Lerman) learns his dad is the Greek God Poseidon, and he is a demi-god, he also discovers that Zeus (Sean Bean) has accused him of stealing his lightning bolt.  He is taken to a special school for safety where he learns about his new superpowers.  When Hades (Steve Coogan) kidnaps his mom (Catherine Keener) to the underworld, he and his friends must rescue her and clear his name. 
 
Tues March 30 - Thurs April 1
FISH TANK  (NR)  123min  5:30 and 8:00
Winner of a 2003 Oscar for Short Film, young British director Andrea Arnold has made an excellently crafted and overall superb second feature (following Red Road), that like its predecessor won the Cannes Jury Prize.  Her story of 15 year old Mia (terrific new actress Katie Jarvis), a rough, troubled, and angry girl living in the projects with her hard-partying single mom and her bratty younger sister is realistic yet poetic.  Mia is heading down a bad path, already kicked out of school and spending her time alone practicing dance moves, when Mom brings home a new, handsome boyfriend (Michael Fassbender, Inglourious Basterds) who both unnerves and interests her.  Both the director and her young actress deserve attention.
