Events for December 28th, 2009
The Polar Express
Directed by Robert Zemekis. US. 2004. 8+. Running time: 99 min.
- Mon, Dec 28, 2:00 pm
“The Polar Express is a movie for more than one season; it will become a perennial, shared by the generations. It has a haunting, magical quality because it has imagined its world freshly and played true to it, sidestepping all the tiresome Christmas cliches that children have inflicted on them this time of year. The conductor tells Hero Boy he thinks he really should get on the train, and I have the same advice for you.” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times) More »
An Education
Directed by Lone Scherfig. UK. 2009. PG-13. Running time: 95 min.
Sat, Dec 26 thru Thu, Jan 7 -- Roll over to view showtimes.
“Novelist and moonlighting screenwriter Nick Hornby shifts his perceptive gaze from pop culture-obsessed men dragged into the scary world of adulthood to the coming-of-age perils of a pop culture-obsessed teenage girl in a terrible hurry to grow up in early-’60s England with An Education, a fine adaptation of journalist Lynn Collins’ memoir directed by Lone Scherfig. An Education shares with Hornby’s best work trenchant insight into the way smart, hyper-verbal young people let the music, films, books, and art they love define themselves as they figure out who they are and what they want to be.” More »
