[Reel Pizza] update April 3 - 9

Before I forget, let me mention that there will be NO SENIOR MATINEE on this coming Thursday April 2.  Among many reasons, Chris is out of town.  We will resume the following week into April though.  Stay tuned for what is next.

Here is next week's schedule.  Happy Easter everyone!  Hope the Easter Bunny is still wearing his warm white coat this year.

Will Smith stars as Nicky, a seasoned con artist who becomes romantically involved with beautiful novice Jess (Margot Robbie, Wolf of Wall Street). As he's teaching her the tricks of the trade, she becomes an unwanted distraction and gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off. Three years later, the former flame--now an accomplished femme fatale--shows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high stakes racecar circuit. In the midst of Nicky's latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop...and the consummate con man off his game.  Directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy, Stupid, Love) have made an enjoyable, breezy escapist fun rom-com-con between two people who can never trust each other.  trailer

Fri Apr 3 - Mon Apr 6
MCFARLAND, USA  (PG)  129min   5:30 and 8:00
This fully entertaining and heartwarming film about the unexpected success of an immigrant community's high school sports team rises well above expectation with straightforward direction by Niki Caro (Whale Rider); this film isn't sappy or filled with cliché and earns its payoff.  Kevin Costner is great as a disgraced coach who finds himself moving his family to California's central valley, to a poor town of Mexican immigrants where kids work the fields both before and after school.  Based on a true story, he tries to convince them to run cross country instead of failing at football, while the locals wonder about their new, non-Latino neighbors.  trailer

Tues Apr 7 - Thurs Apr 9
RED ARMY  (PG)  85min   5:30 and 7:30
This fascinating documentary, both humorous and enlightening, explores the geopolitical consequences of cold war politics and national pride on the Russian ice hockey dynasty.  Fully entertaining for both fans and non-fans of sports, filmmaker Gabe Polsky explores the history of this incredibly talented and successful team and its members, especially team captain Slava Fetisov, as these athletes' lives cross some of the most earth-shattering political events of the past century and they are transformed from national heroes to political enemies.  trailer
