THE TREE OF LIFE (PG-13) 139min 5:15 and 8:00
Acclaimed director Terrence Malik (The Thin Red Line, The New World)
presents only his fifth feature, winner of the top prize at this year's
Cannes Film Festival. It is an ambitious, transporting, impressionistic
story of a Midwestern family in the 1950s that follows the life journey of
eldest son Jack, through the innocence of childhood to the disillusioned
adult years (Sean Penn) as he tries to reconcile a complicated
relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Through the director's stunning
imagery, the nature of faith and the meaning of life are questioned as he
considers how both nature and grace shape not only our individual lives
but also all life.

Fri 8/5 - Mon 8/8
THE TRIP (R) 112min 6:00 and 8:30
Steve Coogan is one of the funniest guys around. When asked by revered
British Sunday paper, The Observer, to tour the country's finest
restaurants, he envisions a perfect getaway with his girlfriend. But she
backs out and he can't find anyone else to accompany him except his best
buddy, also a comic, Rob Brydon. Director Michael Winterbottom (Tristran
Shandy, 24 Hour Party People) reunites with the pair on a hysterical
odyssey, freestyling with flair, where they drive each other mad with
constant competition while eating a lot of delicious food. This
side-splitting road comedy will have you rolling in the aisles.

Tues 8/9 - Thurs 8/11
SUBMARINE (R) 97 min 6:00 and 8:15
Oliver, resident of Swansea Wales, is 15 and has two goals. One is to
lose his virginity before his next birthday; the other is to save his
parent's marriage. His research leads him to sense that his parent's sex
life has become dormant, and with his marine-biologist father falling
deeper into depression, he also imagines his mother (Sally Hawkins) to be
having an affair with a new age guru neighbor (Paddy Considine). He also
has a crush on the totally unromantic, domineering and pyromaniacal
schoolmate, Jordana Breven. His wry, observant narration is hardly
reliable but very funny. Adapted from Joe Dunthorne's acclaimed novel,
this original debut directed by British comic Richard Ayoade is a
delightfully offbeat and refreshing coming of age story.
