It is a movie schedule week for me (and a crazy one at that!) and it seems this always goes out late when I am in the thick of putting that together!  sorry for any inconvenience....  Expect the next full schedule notice tomorrow.    -L

Here is the coming week's plan:

Senior matinee today is GRAVITY at 1:30.
Senior matinee next week is GREAT EXPECTATIONS at 1:00
PLEASE NOTE:  Starting next week ALL Senior matinees will start at 1pm.

Fri 1/31 - Thu 2/6    GRAVITY (PG-13)  6:00 and 8:30
Fri 1/31 - Mon 2/3    DALLAS BUYERS CLUB  (R)  5:30 and 8:00
Tues 2/4 - Thu 2/6    GREAT EXPECTATIONS (PG-13) 5:30 and 8:15

Fri Jan 31 - Thurs Feb 6
GRAVITY  (PG-13)  91min
Visually amazing and completely entertaining, this breathtaking and thrilling space adventure is masterfully directed by Alfonso Cuarón (HP4, Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambien).  Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star as astronauts, he is the veteran always with a joke, she is the nervous rookie, working on the Hubble Telescope and what happens after a Russian satellite explodes, sending a stream of debris hurtling their way.  It is amazing cinema.   trailer

Fri Jan 31 - Mon Feb 3
DALLAS BUYERS CLUB  (R)  117min
Matt McConaughey continues his string of strong, indie performances (Bernie, Magic Mike, Mud) with his fierce and unforgettable portrayal of homophobic, redneck and free-wheeling cowboy Ron Woodruff.  His world is turned upside down in 1985 with a diagnosis of AIDS and a one month life-expectancy.  Ostracized by his friends and unhelped by the offered treatments, he takes matters into his own hands, tracking down alternatives which he shares with other HIV-positive outcasts.  Adapting this true story, Québecois director Jean-Marc Vallée (C.R.A.Z.Y.) captures the helplessness and fear in the early days of this epidemic and the escapades of an unlikely champion.  trailer
 
Tues Feb 4 - Thurs Feb 6
GREAT EXPECTATIONS  (PG-13)   128min
This is a haunting and faithful adaptation of the classic Charles Dicken’s novel with a stellar cast, including Ralph Fiennes, Sally Hawkins, Robbie Coltrane, and Helena Bonham Carter, under the direction of Mike Newell (HP4, Four Weddings and a Funeral).  Young Pip (Jeremy Irvine, War Horse) is the blacksmith’s apprentice and lives with his evil sister in the marshlands of the Thames.  He has an encounter with an escaped convict, and is invited to visit and becomes smitten with Estella, the daughter of an eccentric heiress.  Suddenly he is informed he has had a generous endowment bestowed upon him and is sent to London to become a gentleman.   trailer
