THE FIGHTER (R) 114min 6:00 and 8:30
Based on a true story from 1990's Lowell Mass., David O. Russell's gripping film with excellent performances all around explores family and commitment through an underdog boxing story. Mark Wahlberg plays Mickey, a young boxer who hopes to repeat the success in the ring of his idol, trainer and older half-brother Dickey (Christian Bale), who once showed promise, but now is a criminal and crack addict who milks his past glory. But he isn't winning fights. When Dickey lands in jail, Mickey and his girlfriend Charlene (Amy Adams) think his career might be better served with a paid trainer, but this doesn't go over well with the men's formidable, manipulative mom (Melissa Leo), who manages Mickey's career yet clearly prefers Dickey. When do poisonous family dynamics become so toxic that they must be abandoned?

CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER (PG) 115min [in 2D] 5:30 and 8:00
Lucy and Edmund Pevensie (Georgie Henley and Skandar Keynes both reprising), along with annoying young cousin Eustace (Will Poulter, Son of Rambow) enter Narnia through a seafaring painting that lands them in the water near the galleon Dawn Treader, helmed by Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) with help from Reepicheep the mouse (Simon Pegg). An evil force has descended on the kingdom with seven Narnian lords gone missing. The crew must find them and reunite the seven missing swords to break the spell while confronting their own inner demons. Directed with aplomb by Michael Apted (Amazing Grace, 7-Up series), this enchanting, family-friendly adventure has fantastic special effects featuring encounters with sea serpents, dwarves, mer-people, and a nasty green mist.

ANIMAL KINGDOM (R) 112min 5:30 and 8:00
This confident debut film from Australian writer-director David Michôd is a sharp, gritty noir thriller about a dysfunctional crime family in suburban Melbourne. Teenaged Jay has just discovered his mother dead from a heroin overdose; he watches TV while he waits for the ambulance to arrive. With no other options, he goes to live with his estranged grandmother from whom his mother always kept him. He discovers the family matriarch supervises his three grown, lawless uncles; a drug dealer, an armed robber, and one in hiding, the police having promised to kill him on sight. As he moves in with and is getting to know his new family, so are the equally lawless police moving in; Jay finds himself caught in the middle. This taut, cunning film won the competitive world cinema jury prize at Sundance last year.
