We learned the Oscar nominations this morning, and Reel Pizza features nominated films on both screens right now. Tonight through Thursday we are showing ANIMAL KINGDOM at 5:30 and 8:00, which earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for Jackie Weaver, and THE FIGHTER at 6:00 and 8:30 which earned seven nominations, Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Film Editing, Supporting Actor (Christian Bale) and two for Supporting Actress (Melissa Leo and Amy Adams). Hopefully any more snow (I will not look out the window!) will come late at night and not disrupt any more movie-going! No matter the weather, we will be open!
Speaking of Oscars, mark Sunday February 27th on your calendar now, for our annual fundraiser and Oscah' Night Gala which benefits the Bar Harbor Food Pantry. It is sure to be a good time and certainly supports a good cause. More info on this event soon.
This week's Senior Matinee will be THE FIGHTER screening Thursday at 1:30.

TRUE GRIT (PG-13) 110min 5:30 and 8:00 TEN OSCAR NOMINATIONS
The Coen brothers� entertaining new western is an adaptation of the Charles Portis novel that also served as a basis for the 1969 film that earned John Wayne an Oscar. Young Hailee Steinfeld is Mattie, a strong-willed, pig-tailed girl who seeks revenge on the man who, in cold blood, killed her father. As he has escaped into the Indian Territory, she needs a Federal Marshal to arrest, which she finds in drunk and ornery Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges). Also seeking this killer for other crimes is a goofy Texas Ranger (Matt Damon), but she insists on catching him first. Magnificent western vistas filmed by longtime cinematographer Roger Deakins, are combined with an atmospheric score by Carter Burwell and the Coen brothers� trademark dark humor, making a striking film.
Jan 28 - 31 (Fri - Mon)
THE TOURIST (PG-13) 103min 6:00 and 8:15
Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie team up with Oscar-winning German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) for this fun romantic spy caper. Full of eye-candy and set in picturesque Paris and Venice, he is an American tourist on an impromptu trip to Europe to mend a broken heart. She deliberately crosses his path and he finds himself in a flirtatious encounter with this elegant, mysterious woman. Their whirlwind romance quickly evolves as they find themselves thrust into a deadly game of mistaken identities and revenge. This picture was nominated for three Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture.

HOWL (NR) 90min 6:00 and 8:15 another excellent film featuring Oscar nominee James Franco
What began as a documentary becomes an inventive, impressionistic reenactment of a short period in the life of groundbreaking poet Alan Ginsberg's life. Using transcripts, directors Jeffrey Freidman and Rob Epstein (The Celluloid Closet) recreate the early years in the career of the young poet who would become an icon of the Beat Generation. Portrayed by James Franco (Milk, 127 Days) he recounts his travels and companions, including the first public reading of this seminal work and the 1957 public trial against the poem's publisher, bookseller Lawrence Ferlinghetti, for distributing obscenity, a trial that would begin the breakdown of societal barriers.
