*******************

Fri Apr 27 - Thurs May 3
FRIENDS WITH KIDS  (R)  107min
Jennifer Westfeldt (star and writer of Kissing Jessica Stein) now also directs.  She plays Julie, a single gal with all her friends (a Bridesmaid mini-reunion with costars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, John Hamm, and Chris O’Dowd) recently married, and had kids.  The resulting stress seems to have ruined their previously fun, adult friendships.  So she and her best (platonic) friend (Adam Scott) decide they can do it better -- have a child, share custody and the responsibilities, and keep dating others.  Which seems to work fine, until they both get into serious relationships.  This intelligent, fresh and funny romantic comedy will keep you involved and entertained.

Fri Apr 27 - Mon Apr 30
SAFE HOUSE  (R)  115min
Denzel Washington stars as a rogue CIA agent who turns himself in after a decade on the lam, then escapes an attack on the secret interrogation facility where he is taken in Cape Town with a rookie operative (Ryan Reynolds), setting these two opposites on a run for their lives.  Swedish director Daniel Espinosa (Easy Money), screenwriter David Guggenheim, and cinematographer Oliver Wood (the BOURNE trilogy) have made a bracing and energetic tale of corruption and conspiracy with excellent performances from both stars as well as from a supporting cast that includes Vera Farmiga, Brendan Gleeson, and Sam Shephard. 

Tues May 1 - Thurs May 3
IN DARKNESS  (R)   145min  [in Polish, German, Ukrainian, and Yiddish with subtitles]

Based in truth, this foreign language Oscar nominee tells a powerful story of Leopold Socha, a petty thief and Polish sewer inspector who, for 14 months until WW2 ended, hid from the authorities a group of Jews in the damp and dark underground pipes…for a significant price; he intends to turn them in to the Nazis once their money runs out.  But when that time does come, he finds he can’t do it and risks the lives of himself and of his family.  Three-time Oscar nominated filmmaker Agnieszka Holland (Europa Europa, Angry Harvest) has made a simultaneously astonishing, harrowing, and inspiring film.



remember, April Showers bring May Flowers.....see you soon!
