First let me announce there has been a change of plan with the Senior Matinee for this week. Due to scheduling considerations, we are going to show THE TOURIST on Thursday Feb 3 at 1:30. On Thurs Feb 10, we will screen TRUE GRIT (as we are holding it for another week). Hopefully all those who are hoping to see TRUE GRIT will be more able to come out next week (If the weather ever improves), and the hardy folks can enjoy THE TOURIST (which we won't have next week....)
OK...so now you know we are holding TRUE GRIT, as it has been wildly popular, and we were unable to get a booking on anything else we were looking for.
And with this weather, don't feel you have to come out to see it until it is safe to drive!
As I don't believe I will be in tomorrow (anticipating a snow day...) I expect I will send out the upcoming new schedule to you on Thursday.
In addition to the GINGERED SWEET POTATO SOUP, Erika has also made a
classic and colorful soup SOPA DE LIMA with citrus, fresh tomato, onion, garlic and hot sausage garnished with cilantro and served with tortilla chips. Send yourself to the sunny Yucatan where it is NOT snowing!
See you soon!-Lisa
Here is the schedule for the next week:
Fri 2/4 - Thurs 2/10
Fri 2/4 - Mon 2/7
Tues 2/8 - Thurs 2/10
Feb 4 - 10 (Fri - Thurs)
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.
Feb 4 - 7 (Fri - Mon)
I LOVE YOU, PHILLIP MORRIS (R) 98min
From the writer-director team of BAD SANTA, this improbable but true story is very funny and heartfelt, telling the spectacularly charismatic journey of a con man, a successful small town businessman turned white collar criminal, who escapes prison four times, all in the name of love (he is currently incarcerated at a Texas prison serving a 144 year sentence in solitary confinement.) Jim Carrey stars as Steve Russell, living an average life as a cop with a wife and two kids, who realizes after a severe car accident that he is gay and must live his life to the fullest, even if it means breaking the law. In jail he meets the man of his dreams (Ewan McGregor), and springs them both from prison so they can live together happily and luxuriously ever after, financed by one (often, but not always successful) con after another, even as his beloved believes in a trusting relationship.
Feb 8 - 10 (Tues - Thurs)
INSIDE JOB (PG-13) 108min OSCAR NOMINATED
You might have noticed that recently the stock market has begun to recover, while the rest of the economy has not. Filmmaker Charles Fergueson (No End In Sight) knows why. He has made another alarmingly incisive expose that lays out plainly, fairly, and meticulously how the rich keep getting richer and the rest of us fall further and further behind, examining the history of the recent recession with a coherent synthesis of why the current solutions are inadequate. Beginning back in the Reagan era, he tracks the fallacy of financial deregulation from the 1980s, through the Clinton and both Bush administrations, to the meltdown and subsequent collapse of Wall Street and its star players beginning in late 2008, and finally into Barack Obama's term as president, as his administration features the same players complicit in the creation of this mess in charge of its cleanup (Henry Paulson, Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, and Larry Summers declined to be interviewed). Narrated by Matt Damon, this comprehensive analysis is an important and sobering look at our economic situation; it also should be required viewing.
