hi everyone
This week is flying by! Tomorrow's Senior matinee will be MY WEEK WITH MARILYN at 1:30. Next week, its MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL at 1:00 (note time change for longer show).
This weekend we have a special event. On Sunday afternoon Jan 29th, between 1pm and 4pm, the Emerson School 8th graders are holding a movie/Silent Auction event to raise funds for their class trip and graduation celebration. We are the parents of two children in this class (hard to believe!), so I send an extra special invitation to all of you to come out and help us reach our financial goal. We will be screening an animated, PG-rated, family friendly superhero movie about an incredible family with astonishing powers (can you guess?) at 1:30 in one auditorium. The Silent Auction, on the other side, will be full of great donations from local families and businesses. Perhaps you will find a Valentine's gift for your sweetie? You won't be disappointed!
The Oscar nominations were announced earlier this week, and we will, as always, try to get to as many of the nominated films as we can before the big night. This year we are delighted that our Oscah' Night Gala will be benefiting SFOA (Summer Festival of the Arts). We are starting to plan and are looking forward to Sunday Feb 26th for this sure-to-be-fun event.
Here is the schedule of movies for this week. See you soon!

MI:4 GHOST PROTOCOL (PG-13) 133min 5:30 and 8:00
Oscar-winning Pixar director Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratatouille) moves from animation to live-action with this fourth installment in the high-flying, stunt-filled adventure. Tom Cruise is joined by Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead), Paula Patton (Precious) and Jeremy Renner (Hurt Locker) as agents for the IMF (Impossible Mission Force). This terrific, exhilarating thriller unflaggingly sustains amazing visual and dramatic energy as this team, disenfranchised by the government, works to stop the Russian bad guy (Michael Nyqvist, original Girl with a Dragon Tattoo) from blowing up a nuclear bomb on the US and bringing on the apocalypse, because he can.
Friday Jan 27 - Mon Jan 30
THE SKIN I LIVE IN (R) 117min [in Spanish with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:30
Provocative Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar’s darkly hypnotic new film is bizarre, colorful and unsettling. Based on Thierry Jonquet’s French novel Mygale, it stars Antonio Banderas, in his first film with his breakout director since 1990’s Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down, as Dr. Ledgardan unethical plastic surgeon who, after his beloved wife was fatally burned in a car crash, has developed an extra-resilient, fire-resistant artificial skin. Vera (Elena Anaya) is a beautiful woman mysteriously imprisoned in his house and Marilia (Marisa Paredes) is his lifelong housekeeper who keeps his secrets too.

MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE (R) 101min 6:00 and 8:15
This powerful, gripping psychological thriller is the feature writing and directing debut of Sean Durkin, who won the 2011 Sundance prize for direction. Elizabeth Olsen gives a transfixing performance as Martha, who has just run away from a controlling cult in rural NY State and its charismatic leader. She seeks help from her older sister Lucy (Sarah Paulson) and her husband (Hugh Dancy). Not knowing where she’d been the past two years, they somewhat reluctantly invite her to stay at their Connecticut lakeshore house. As Martha tries to reconnect to the normal world that is totally uncomfortable to her, she fights a paranoia about being returned to the commune.
