THE COMPANY MEN (R) 113min 6:00 and 8:30
Engrossing and nuanced, this keenly observed drama from executive producer turned writer-director John Wells (ER, West Wing) presents the disconnect between those with resumes and those with a skill set. Featuring strong performances by Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper, Tommy Lee Jones, Kevin Costner, Craig T. Nelson, Maria Bello and Rosemarie DeWitt, three American Dream winners, each having given his all to their company, are forced to redefine their lives as men, husbands, and fathers, with varying levels of success, when they face corporate downsizing.

THE ILLUSIONIST (PG) 82min [nearly dialog-free] 5:30 and 7:30
Inspired animator Sylvan Chomet (Triplets of Belleville) makes a second exquisite masterpiece, working from an early, unpublished autobiographical script by French director and comic Jacques Tati. Paying homage to Tati�s onscreen persona, Monsieur Hulot, Chomet�s virtually dialog-free tale (because, like Triplets, it is so easy to understand) follows an aging magician from Paris to Scotland where, looking for work, he meets a young orphaned woman who believes in his magic and becomes his traveling companion. This enchanting, very unique, and often quiet and sad film about the passing of an era (this is not a cartoon, although it is filled with delicious sight-gags) is one of three animated films nominated for an Oscar.
Tuesday March 22 - Thursday March 24
RABBIT HOLE (PG-13) 92min 5:30 and 7:45
Eight months after the accidental death of their young son, Becca and Howie Corbett (Oscar-nominated Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart) are still dealing with their grief, but each is working toward healing, forgiving and resuming life, although in seemingly opposite directions. Maverick director John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) shows restraint and uses humor in this sad but ultimately hopeful story of life beginning again, adapted by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire from his own Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
