Friday 4/10 - Thursday 4/16
DUPLICITY (PG-13) 125min 5:30 and 8:00
Screenwriter (of the Bourne series) and director Tony Gilroy follows up
his multi-Oscar-nominated directing debut, Michael Clayton, with a smart,
lighthearted and funny spies-in-love romantic thriller. His sharp,
articulate dialog is excellently presented by Julia Roberts and Clive Owen
(both in Closer). They play former government operatives with a shared
history, now working for competing pharmaceutical companies; one CEO
highly covets a super-secret personal care formula developed by the other.
Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson are both hilarious as the rival corporate
tycoons. When these two loners find themselves embroiled in a high-stakes
espionage game, they discover the toughest part of the job is deciding how
much to trust the one you love.


Friday 4/10 - Monday 4/13
REVOLUTIONARY ROAD (R) 119min 6:00 and 8:30
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio stars as husband and wife in this
powerful story of 1950's suburban dysfunction, directed by her husband Sam
Mendes (American Beauty). Based on the celebrated 1961 novel by Richard
Yates, this young urban couple meets at a party, fall in love, get
married, move to Connecticut and start a family. On the outside, they
seem to have the perfect house, family and marriage, and their realtor
(Kathy Bates) introduces them to her mentally unstable son (Michael
Shannon) as an example of normalcy. But underneath, he hates his
meaningless desk job and she feels trapped as a mother and housewife.
Then she comes up with a plan to give it all up and move the family to
Paris. This is a riveting film with remarkable performances whose meaning
still has resonance today.


Tuesday 4/14 - Thursday 4/16
TWO LOVERS (R) 108min 6:00 and 8:15
Set in an insular Brooklyn neighborhood, this classic romantic drama,
directed by James Grey (Little Odessa) is elegant and genuine. Joaquin
Phoenix (Walk the Line), reportedly in his final acting role, gives a raw
and vulnerable performance as a charismatic but troubled young man who has
moved back home following a recent heartbreak. While recovering under his
parent's watchful eyes (Isabella Rossellini and Moni Monoshov), Leonard
soon meets two women: a mysterious and beautiful neighbor (Gwyneth
Paltrow) who is exotic and out-of-place in Leonard's staid world, and the
lovely and caring daughter of a businessman who is buying out his family's
dry-cleaning business (Vinessa Shaw). Leonard struggles with his
impossible decision – between the impetuousness of desire and the comfort
of love without falling back into the darkness that nearly killed him.
