Engrossing political intrigue and an engaging historical romance are augmented with exquisite period detail in Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallée's story, with a screenplay by Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park), of the early years of Queen Victoria's reign.  Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) is the independent but unskilled young royal, crowned at age 18 upon the death of her father King William (Jim Broadbent).  She chooses Prime Minister Lord Melbourne (Paul Bettany) as her advisor over her mother (Miranda Richardson) but in the end it is her cousin Albert (Rupert Friend, Cheri) whose support she needs most.  This transporting and rewarding film is about a brave young woman finding her way with her life's partner.  *THREE OSCAR NOMS: Best Art Direction,  Best Costume Design, Best Makeup.

Fri Feb 26 - Mon Mar 1
THE ROAD  (R)  119min    5:30 and 8:00
This faithful adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prize-winning novel is set in a post-apocalyptic USA after an unexplained global catastrophe has wiped out most of the world.   Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises) gives an outstanding performance as the man, a survivor and desperate father headed on a long dangerous journey with his young son to the sea.  On their trip across a burned out America, they encounter the remnants of human life, some good, some bad, including a blind, elderly man (Robert Duvall) who presents an ethical dilemma to the father trying to teach his son how to survive, to let the man die or share food with him.  John Hillcoat has directed an ultimately moving story of survival.

This year we are able to screen the selection of short films in both the live action and animated categories BEFORE the Oscar Ceremony.  Most of the nominees in both categories are honored for the first time, the exception being six time nominee Nick Park who brings another installment of Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death.  Other animated offerings include an alternative telling of Sleeping Beauty, the story of a man who has lost his wallet in a coffee shop, the battle between a doctor and Death for the life of an elderly lady, and a crime spree in a world of only trademarks and brand names.  Live action stories deal with slave labor at an Indian brick kiln, a terrifying new apartment for two men, an unusual birthday gift, contending with with the aftermath of Chernobyl, and a young magician's woes.  Get ready for Oscah' Night coming up Sunday March 7th!  *ALL OSCAR NOMS: Best Animated Short Film , Best Live-Action Short Film.
