FLIGHT (R)  138min 5:30 and 8:15
Denzel Washington gives a fully grounded performance as a flawed regional airline pilot whose demons catch up with him.  After a mid-flight mechanical failure that appears to doom the craft and passengers, he makes a miraculous landing and is hailed as a hero.  As the ensuing investigation into the crash proceeds, his heroics are questioned as details of his physical state at the time are discovered.  In his first live-action film in a dozen year, director Robert Zembeckis (Cast Away) has made a taut, thoughtful and action-packed character study. 

Fri Jan 4 - Mon Jan 7
PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER  (PG-13)  103min  6:00 and 8:30
High school freshman Charlie (Logan Lerman) is a loner with a troubled past who is taunted by his classmates.  But his life changes when he befriends an outgoing, offbeat senior (Ezra Miller) in his shop class, and develops a crush on his sensitive sister (Emma Watson, moving on from Harry Potter).  This touching, witty and moving story captures the dizzying highs and crushing lows of growing up.  Author Stephen Chbosky adapted and directed his own semi-autobiographical novel to high acclaim. 

Tues Jan 8 - Thurs Jan 10
SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN  (PG-13)  85min  6:00 and 8:00
Back in the early 1970s, Detroit-based singer-songwriter Rodriguez, the son of Mexican immigrants, cut two albums.  Released with high expectations, and although his soulful songs were well-reviewed, they did not sell and Rodriguez faded quickly into obscurity.  A few years later, copies of his albums made their way to Capetown, South Africa, where they were bootlegged and shared, and their songs of protest became the anthems of white anti-Apartheid youth.  Known only by these two records, the mysterious Rodriguez became widely revered; the music was a phenomenon, while the singer was reportedly dead.  Recently, two longtime fans started searching for any knowledge of this icon, with extraordinary results.  Swedish filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul chronicled their search into a fascinating story; this is the frontrunner for Best Documentary Oscar this year.
