Friday Feb 3 - Thurs Feb 9
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO (R) 158min 5:00 and 8:00
A disgraced journalist (Daniel Craig) joins forces with a punk, pierced computer hacker (Rooney Mara) to solve the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the teenaged niece of a wealthy industrialist (Christopher Plummer) at his rural island compound many decades earlier, and finding lots of unsavory behavior. Director David Fincher (Social Network, Se7en) with screenwriter Steve Zaillian (Moneyball) have stylishly and faithfully adapted the first volume in Stieg Larsson’s international sensation crime thriller. It would be hard to top the Swedish language original, but this English language version holds its own in every way.

Friday Feb 3 - Mon Feb 6
THE WAY (PG-13) 115min [partly in Spanish with subtitles] 5:30 and 8:15
Father and son team up on this thoughtful and offbeat story. Emilio Estevez directs his father Martin Sheen in this story of travel and transformation, an adaptation of Jack Hitt's story Off the Road. Sheen plays an irascible Southern California doctor dad who is called to France to collect the remains of his estranged son, who died while hiking the 500 mile Camino de Santiago that traverses the Pyrenees and across northern Spain. Instead of returning home straight away, he impulsively decides to continue the pilgrimage, honoring his son’s desire to complete the journey, and meets several other dysfunctional pilgrims who all have reasons for making the trek. It is a moving, beautiful and fun small film.

Tues Feb 7 - Thurs Feb 9
THE HEDGEHOG
(PG-13) 100min [in French with subtitles] 5:30 and 8:!5
Precocious eleven year old Paloma is bent on ending it all on her next birthday. Before then, she needs to complete her latest project, using her father’s old cam-corder to chronicle the hypocrisy she sees in her family. Meanwhile, she forges new friendships with Renee, the gruff, but secretly, surprisingly sweet building concierge, and the taciturn yet dapper new neighbor Mr. Ozu, which gain her a new look on life. This debut feature of director Mona Achache is irreverent, witty and magical.
