THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON  (PG-13)  167min    5:00 and 8:15
From director David Fincher (Seven, Zodiac) and screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump) based loosely on a F. Scott Fitzgerald story, this intriguing, magical and romantic tale follows the life of a unique man who was born looking an ancient eighty years old, and as he aged, he got progressively younger.  Brad Pitt plays the man, and excellent digital technology has implanted his face on all the characters, even when acted by other people�s bodies.  Elle Fanning and Cate Blanchette play the different ages of Daisy, the most important woman in his life.  This haunting, poignant, and unique picture is one of the year�s best.

Fri Jan 16 - Mon Jan 19
THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX  (G) 93min     5:30 and 7:30
Kate DiCamillo�s (Because of Winn-Dixie) Newbery Award-winning fairy tale of bravery, forgiveness, and redemption is brought wonderfully, enchantingly and beautifully to the screen in this charming and elegant animated adaptation by screenwriter Gary Ross (Seabiscuit) and directors Sam Fell (Flushed Away) and Rob Stevenhagen.  A very small mouse with very big ears (Matthew Broderick) is banished from his world for not acting mouse-like enough.  He meets a rat (Dustin Hoffman), a fellow outcast who frightened the queen to death from being in her soup.  Emma Watson (Harry Potter films) voices the princess despondent at the untimely demise of her mother.  Tracy Uhlman voices her servant girl who longs to be a princess herself. 
 
Tues Jan 20 - Thurs Jan 22
CHANGELING (R)  140min    5:30 and 8:30
This first of two excellent films coming this year from director Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River) is the unforgettable true story of a woman wronged by the corrupt Los Angeles Police Department in 1928.  Angelina Jolie (A Mighty Heart) is a single mother whose son disappears one day without a trace.  Months later and with much fanfare, the LAPD announces they've found the missing child, but she protests that the boy returned to her is not her son.  The police respond by incarcerating her in the psychiatric ward.  John Malkovich plays an eccentric, outspoken radio preacher who takes her case to the airwaves when she is silenced.  It is an intense, riveting story and film.
