If you listen to any of the Cumulus Radio stations (92.9, 95.7, 106.5, or 107.3) you might hear me on the air talking about the Oscar Night Gala fundraiser for the Bar Harbor Food Pantry. Hope I sounded vaguely intelligent! Tickets for this always fun event are available now at the Reel Pizza Box Office, just $10. Hope you can come and support a worthy cause and celebrate the movies with us.

THE KING'S SPEECH (R)*for some brief language 111min 5:30 and 8:00
Prince Albert (Colin Firth) has suffered a serious speech impediment all his life. When his father King George V dies, and soon afterwards his older brother Edward abdicates the throne, Albert is suddenly thrust into the highest position of the monarchy, but he can't give a speech. With the country on the verge of war, his wife (Helena Bonham Carter) arranges for one more therapy, with eccentric Australian Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). This masterful and rousing period drama follows his unorthodox and eccentric treatment and the growing friendship between these two different men as the world marches toward World War 2 and Albert prepares to inspire his people to go to battle. Directed by Tom Hooper (The Damned United, TV's John Adams) from a screenplay by veteran David Seidler (Tucker) is a shoe-in for a slew of Oscar nominations.

THE GREEN HORNET (PG-13) 108min [in 2-D] 6:00 and 8:15
Off-beat director Michel Gondry (Be Kind Rewind, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and co-screenwriter Set Rogan (Superbad) team up, making this action comedy update of the 1930�s radio serial/1970�s TV show. Togan stars as partyboy-son of a media magnate who discovers a new direction in life after his dad�s sudden death. Joining forces with dad�s mechanic Kato (Taiwan pop star Jay Chou) they become a vigilante crime fighting team. Using Kato�s advanced retro-weaponry, they make a name for themselves. Then they decide LA�s top crime lord (Christop Waltz) is their next target.
Tues 2/22 - Thurs 2/24
MY DOG TULIP (NR) 81min 6:00 and 8:15
The 1956 memoir of distinguished British author JR Ackerley, the basis of this sublime animated film, is a bittersweet account of the author�s 14 year relationship with a young, rescued German Shepherd, Tulip. Full of gentle wit, this faithful adaptation and sophisticated love story, narrated by Christopher Plummer, with voicework by late Lynn Redgrave (her final film performance) and Isabelle Rossellini, examines a transformative relationship between a curmudgeonly man and a dog that turns out to be the love of his life.
