Coming SoonVicky Cristina Barcelona (September 5)(click on title for official site)  Show times for Sept 5-11
Two young American women, Vicky and Cristina come to Barcelona for a summer holiday. Vicky is sensible and engaged to be married; Cristina is emotionally and sexually adventurous. In Barcelona, they’re drawn into a series of unconventional romantic entanglements with Juan Antonio, a charismatic painter, who is still involved with his tempestuous ex-wife Maria Elena. Set against the luscious Mediterranean sensuality of Barcelona, Vicky Cristina Barcelona is Woody Allen’s funny and open-minded celebration of love in all its configurations. "Vicky Cristina Barcelona is so engaging so much of the time that it feels like a modest rejuvenation: evidence that a summer in Spain can do wonders for a writer-director who may not have outlived his prime." ~Richard Corliss, Time Magazine "When great artists maintain their health and energy into their 70s, amazing things can happen - and they're happening with Woody Allen... But the revelation is Penélope Cruz, who has never been better in an American film." ~Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle "Vicky Cristina Barcelona is as exhilarating, captivating and enjoyable as a summer romance in an exotic city." - Claudia Puig, USA Today Director: Woody Allen Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz, Rebecca Hall, Javier Bardem, Chris Messina, Patricia Clarkson, and Kevin Dunn Rating: PG-13 Run Time: 1 hours 36 minutes Language: English/ Spanish Choke (September 26) (click on title for official site)  Victor Mancini is a sex-addicted med-school dropout, who keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida, in an expensive private medical hospital by working days at a historical Colonial Williamsburg theme park. When, in a rare lucid movement, Ida reveals that she has withheld the shocking truth of his father's identity, Victor enlists the aid of his best friend, Denny and his mother's beautiful attending physician, Dr. Paige Marshall, to solve the mystery before the truth of his possibly divine parentage is lost forever. Based on the acclaimed novel by Chuck Palahniuk. "Underneath all that seediness is a story that turns out to be rather heartwarming and sweet. " ~ Josh Bell, Las Vegas Weekly "One of the few highlights of the festival this year, "Choke" represents a nice blend of sharp writing, eccentric performances." ~ Emanuel Levy Director: Clark Gregg Cast: Kelly McDonald, Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Huston, Clark Gregg, Brad Henke Rating: R Run Time: 1 hours 29 minutes Language: English |
