THE WAY BACK (PG-13) 132min
This epic and old-fashioned adventure story of survival, solidarity and indomitable human will is the latest film from director Peter Weir, whose last picture was 2003's Master and Commander, while his other films include Picnic at Hanging Rock, Gallipoli, The Truman Show, Witness, The Dead Poets Society…all classics. This remarkable and beautifully photographed film, inspired by true events, follows a ragtag group of prisoners of a Soviet gulag during WW2 who would rather face suicide by Mother Nature than imprisonment, and so escape, crossing Siberia, the Gobi Desert and the Himalayas over the course of a year on their way to freedom. Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe) as a Polish soldier, Ed Harris (Pollock) as an American engineer, Colin Farrell (In Bruges) as a Russian with a knife, star, with Saoirse Ronan co-starring as a young Polish refugee who joins the group along the way.

BLACK SWAN (R) 110min
Set in the world of performance ballet, this multi-Oscar-nominee (including for best director, picture and actress) from visionary director Darren Aronofsky (Pi, The Wrestler) features an amazing performance by Natalie Portman. She plays a young, dedicated but sheltered dancer who is chosen for the lead in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. But though she is technically capable, is she emotionally? As she prepares for the part of the Black Swan, she tries to explore her dark side, even as she receives conflicting messages from the women in her life; her zealous, jealous mother (Barbara Hershey), the ballerina she dethroned (Winona Ryder), and her understudy (Mila Kunis). In her confusion, she descends into mental chaos.

BIUTIFUL (R) 147min [in Spanish with subtitles]
Mexico's Oscar-nominated Foreign Language film is from director Alejandro González Iñárritu (Amores Perros, Babel). Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Eat Pray Love) earns another Best Actor Oscar nomination for his powerful and brave performance as Uxmel, a single father with his estranged, bipolar ex to his two young children. He works as a middle man between two groups of illegal immigrants – the Chinese who make counterfeit luxury goods in a sweatshop and the Senegalese who sell them on the streets – and the crooked Barcelona cops who let it all happen, for a price. When fate hands him a terminal diagnosis, he tries to put his house in order to provide for his children.
