[Reel Pizza] reel pizza update

hi everyone

This is what we will have playing at Reel Pizza from Friday February 6 - Thursday Feb 12.
The Senior matinee on Feb 5th is MILK at 1:30.
See you soon.....Lisa

Friday Feb 6 - Thurs Feb 12
DOUBT (PG-13)  104min    6:00 and 8:15
In a Catholic school in 1964 Bronx, Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep), the principal, does not trust the new priest, Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman).  He is progressive and charismatic; she is strict, disciplined and old-fashioned.  When she hears from meek, innocent Sister James (Amy Adams) that she saw the school�s new and only black student go into his office alone, she decides, without a doubt but without any evidence either, that something is seriously amiss and the Father must go.  Viola Davis (Antwone Fisher) gives a brief but indelible performance as the boy�s mother.  John Patrick Shanley (Oscar-winning screenwriter for Moonstruck) adapts and directs his Tony-winning play, expanding it with 4 Oscar-nominated performances to fill the big screen in this transfixing and relevant film.

Fri Feb 6 - Mon Feb 9
YES MAN  (PG-13)  104min    5:30 and 7:45
Zooey Deschanel and Jim Carrey have a goofy, wonderful chemistry together in this fun and sweet romantic comedy.  He is a self-pitying loan officer who is still in a funk after his divorce years earlier.  His buddy (Bradley Cooper) pressures him into attending a self-help seminar led by a New-age guru (Terence Stamp), where he is taught to say YES to everything asked of him.  Naturally, initially, this leads to disaster, but also puts him in the path of free-spirited Allison who is attracted to his spontaneity.  As he continues to practice his new skill, he reaps the rewards but eventually must learn to deal with the complications.  It is a light-weight, but funny and delightful crowd-pleaser.
 
Tues Feb 10 - Thurs Feb 12
PRAY THE DEVIL BACK TO HELL (NR)  72min      5:30 and 7:30
This extraordinary documentary from Oscar-winning director Gini Reticker and producer Abigail Disney chronicles the remarkable story of courageous Liberian women, ordinary mothers, sisters, wives, aunts, and grandmothers, both Christian and Muslim, who came together to pray for peace, staged a silent protest, and were critical in ending the bloody civil war that had shattered their country.  The non-violent and unorthodox methods of these women forced dictator Charles Taylor into exile which resulted in the election of Africa�s first female head of state.  It is an inspiring, uplifting and motivating story of sacrifice, unity and transcendence.
