AMERICAN HUSTLE  (R)  138min  5:30 and 8:15
Set during Abscam, the 1970s FBI sting operation that brought down a US Senator and several Congressmen, director David O Russell (Silver Linings Playbook, Fight Club) has created a propulsively funny and sharp screwball entertainment that includes some factual events within a fictional story.  Christian Bale and Amy Adams are savvy but low-level cons who get stung by an ambitious FBI agent (Bradley Cooper) who forces them to entrap a passionate political operator (Jeremy Renner) or go to jail.  This film's many Oscar nominations include Best Picture, Director, Actor and Actress (both lead and supporting) and screenplay.  trailer

Fri Feb 21 - Mon Feb 24
THE BOOK THIEF  (PG-13)  131min   6:00 and 8:30
Based on the beloved best-selling young adult novel by Markus Zusak, this engaging and moving film tells the extraordinary story of a spirited but illiterate teen sent to live with foster parents in Nazi-era Germany.  Her foster father teaches her to read after she is shunned at her new school, and when a secret guest moves in under the stairs, she creates a magical world that inspires them all.  Excellent performances by Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson as the parents, and Sophie Nélisse (Monsieur Lazhar) and intelligent direction by Brian Percival (Downton Abbey) make this an elegant, keenly observed, and superb adaptation.  trailer

Tues Feb 25 - Thurs Feb 27
THE BROKEN CIRCLE BREAKDOWN  (R)  112min  [in Dutch with subtitles]  6:00 and 8:30
Belgium’s submission to the Oscars, recently nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, is based on the stage play written by star Johan Heldenbergh with Mieke Dobbels.  This intoxicating romance uses music, specifically bluegrass, to explore the gap between reality and faith and reason.   Heldenbergh plays a banjo player who falls immediately in love with a tattoo artist (Veerle Baetens), bonding over their shared enthusiasm for American music and culture.  Their relationship plays out both on stage and off, as she joins the band, but when unexpected tragedy strikes, everything they know and love is tested.  trailer
