When Jon Favreau (Elf, Iron Man) first started, he made small, hip films (Swingers, Made).  He retreats from Hollywood with this delightful and entertaining gem about a creative, high-end Los Angeles chef who suddenly finds himself out of work and ends up in Miami taking possession of a food truck and heading out on the road with his son, through New Orleans and Austin en route back home, hoping to reignite his passion for the kitchen and his zest for love and life.  It is a sweetly funny film with scrumptious food scenes.  Trailer

Raunchy funny, this new comedy from director Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) stars Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne as new parents who become conflicted when the vacant house next door is sold to a college fraternity.  Young enough to still feel cool, they try to befriend the president (Zac Efron) and his vp (Dave Franco) and hang with the boys next door, only to do an about face when the party goes to the wee hours and the volume stays at eleven.  When they call the cops, all bets are off as their feud and resultant revenge escalates.  Trailer

Tues. Jun 24 - Thurs. Jun 26
LOCKE  (R)  85min   6:00 & 8:15
Dramatic and suspenseful, this inventive film directed by screenwriter Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things, Eastern Promises, Amazing Grace) follows the real time emotional journey taken by hardworking, responsible man Ivan Locke, (Tom Hardy, The Dark Knight Rises, giving a powerful, mesmerizing performance).  A contractor on the biggest job in the country, he walks away from the jobsite one evening to deal with a personal crisis.  On the hour and a half drive from Birmingham to London, he is balancing three separate repercussions of his decision to try to do the right thing, with his boss, his wife and family, and his co-worker who must take his place on the job site.  It is a taut and gripping one man show.  Trailer
