THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL  (PG-13)  115min    5:30 and 8:00
Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation) as Mary, and Natalie Portman (Star Wars 1,2,3, Garden State) as Anne are sensational together as sisters, manipulated by their elders to achieve welcome into the bed of King Henry VIII (Eric Bana, Munich) in order to advance their family�s power and status, and between whom a ruthless rivalry develops for the King�s attention.  Tautly directed by Justin Chadwick using a screenplay by Peter Morgan (The Queen) this engrossing and sensual tale of intrigue, romance and betrayal is set against the backdrop of a defining moment in history, as England goes its own way from the Holy Roman Empire so King Henry can divorce wife #1, Catherine of Aragon.  Stylish costumes by Oscar winner Sandy Powell (Shakespeare in Love, The Aviator) and production design by John Paul Kelly (Tristam Shandy) artfully recreate the courtly atmosphere of this appealing period costume drama.

Fri 3/28 - Mon 3/31
HONEYDRIPPER  (PG-13)  122min   6:00 and 8:30
Extraordinary writer-director John Sayles (Sunshine State, Lonestar), again embracing community, continues his exploration of the complexities and shifting identities of American subcultures.  Set in Jim Crow Alabama, this intelligent ensemble musical drama considers a local blues club whose business is suffering from the competition of electric rock-n-roll at the joint across the street.  The club�s owner (Danny Glover) takes a desperate gamble on booking a famous guitar player, his one last chance to save his place, and maybe his marriage as his wife is spending more and more time at revival meetings, and his daughter has eyes only for the guitar-toting vagabond just arrived in town.  Real musicians fill the cast, including Keb�Mo, Dr. Mabel John and Gary Clark Jr.

Tues 4/1 - Thurs 4/3
THE VIOLIN (NR)  98 min  [in Spanish with subtitles]     6:00 and 8:15
This satisfying and internationally award-winning feature debut of Mexican writer-director Francisco Vargas is an absorbing, suspenseful fable of heroic resistance in the face of brutal oppression.  Set in the 1970�s, this beautiful, poetic black and white film tells the story of a family of humble musicians and farmers who support the peasant�s guerilla rebellion against the repressive government army.  Eighty-three year old musician Don Angel Javira won the best actor prize at Cannes for his charismatic performance as the mischievous, daring grandfather who must try using only his music to rescue the rebellion�s ammunition cache from under the nose of the sinister captain.
