3/16 - 3/22
THE GREY (R)  117min  5:30 and 8:15
Liam Neeson (Taken, Unknown) anchors this surprisingly spiritual and resonant adventure film.  He is one of a group of rough oil-rig workers headed out on leave from their isolated site who survive their transport plane’s crash in the remotest Arctic.  These seven men, lacking supplies or weapons, face severely inhospitable elements and must evade a ravenous pack of wolves as they try to find safety and help.  Adapting a short story, Ghost Walker, with its author Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, director Joe Carnahan directs with effective restraint to make a suspenseful and thoughtful film.

 
3/16 - 3/19
CARNAGE  (R)  80min  6:00 and 8:00
Master director Roman Polanski (Ghost Writer) with Yasmina Reza has adapted her hugely successful and Tony award-winning stage play.  His excellent cast includes Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, Jodie Foster, and John C. Reilly.  This razor-sharp, biting comedy of parental differences spends an evening with two couples after their 11 year old boys have a playground fight that resulted in injuries.  Their polite discussion soon escalates into verbal warfare with all four revealing secrets and truths. 

3/20 - 3/22
LE HAVRE (NR)  93min  [in French with subtitles]  6:00 and 8:00
In the French port city of the title, an elderly shoeshine man Marcel lives with his loving wife and they get by through the generosity of their neighbors.  One day a cargo container is discovered to hide illegal immigrants from Gabon who thought they were headed to London.  A young teenager eludes capture and is taken in by Marcel, who hides the boy and tries to arrange transport to UK so he can find his mom.  This heartwarming film, full of Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki’s (Man Without a Past) droll, dry wit shows how a community pulls itself together for something it values.
