It's 1974 and the corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain's political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes. In this hung parliament, the ruling party holds on by a thread. Votes are won and lost by one, fistfights erupt in the bars, and the ill MPs are hauled in to cast their votes. It's a time when a staggering number of politicians die, and old-age traditions and allegiances are thrown aside in the struggle for power.
James Graham's biting, energetic and critically-acclaimed new play strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their sleeves, and on occasion bend the rules, to manoeuvre a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments.
"Astute, funny and hugely enjoyable." -Financial Times

Before Midnight - Starts Friday, June 14
Click for Review HERE
View the Trailer HERE
Rated R 108 min.
The courtship of Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke), the bright, neurotic, hyperverbal pair who met in Richard Linklater's 'Before Sunrise' (1995) and reunited in 'Before Sunset' (2004), unfolded to the sound of ticking clocks --- there was always a plane or train to catch, another life to get back to. Nine more years have passed, and in 'Before Midnight' there are no more looming deadlines, save for the ones built into life itself. The screen romance that defined Generation X is now officially middle-aged.
The long intervals between the films are gaps for projection -- each new installment is bittersweet proof that the characters and actors on screen have changed, and we along with them. (Excerpted from The New York Times)
"'Before Midnight' is one of the year's best movies. Full to the brim with humor, heartbreak, and ravishing romance, Richard Linklater directs with ardor and artistry. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy shine brilliantly. Heads up, Oscar. This one's a keeper." -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

In English, French and Italian with English subtitles.
The reinvention of Verdi's masterpiece, La Traviata, as sung by world-famous French coloratura Natalie Dessay, is the subject of Philippe Beziat's thrilling new movie. A modern, minimalist, post-punk approach strips away the opulence and grandiosity associated with operatic productions. Concentrating on director Jean-Francois Sivadier's working relationship with Dessay, the film reveals how two great creative minds build the story of a doomed love affair. The stars rehearse in what look like yoga outfits, on a bare stage, with minimal props. The final production, set against a backdrop of sky and clouds, punctuated by a single chandelier, features Violetta and Alfredo (a darkly gorgeous Charles Costronovo) as the very essence of hipster chic. Their passion, however, is for the ages. With music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Louis Langree. Over two months, in rehearsal rooms and behind the scenes of the Thea! de l'Archevêché, filmmaker Philippe Beziat follows the production's development from concept to glorious realization.
"Electrifying! Riveting...A perfect marriage of theatre and music...A treat for fans of opera, the performing arts and documentaries about process." -Variety
"Outstanding, subtle and inventive. Illuminates beautifully the famous opera and its main character Violetta." -Le Monde

For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace -- a meeting like no other in British public life. Both parties have an unspoken agreement never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses.
The Audience breaks this contract of silence -- and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional -- sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive.
The Audience reunites writer Peter Morgan and Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren following their collaboration on the critically acclaimed movie The Queen. And The Audience is directed by Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours).

Rated R, 122 min.
John Travolta, Karen Lynn Gorney and the Bee Gees did for disco what Robert DeNiro did for the mean streets of New York. Travolta graduated from minor celebrity to superstar with this movie. He plays Tony Manero, a Brooklyn paint-store clerk who'd give anything to break out of his dead-end existence. But on Saturday nights on the dance floor Tony is king. Come in a white suit or a red dress and the popcorn is on the house. (1977).

The Painting - Coming Soon

Not rated, 76 min.
In this wryly inventive parable, a kingdom within a painting is divided into three castes: the impeccably colored Alldunns, the incomplete Halfies, and the barely outlined Sketchies who are treated as outcasts. Chastised for her forbidden love of the dashing Romo, Claire runs away into the cursed forest. Ramo and his friends journey after her, crossing over the boundaries of the forest only to arrive at the very edge of the painting -- where they tumble through the canvas and into the Painter's studio. In a feast for both the eyes and the imagination, Ramo, Lola, Quill and Magenta explore picture after picture, in a quest to discover just what the Painter has in mind for his creations.
"An animated gem, sparking with a thousand creative ideas." -Studio Cine
"Enchanting! This consistently enjoyable, inventive and beautifully crafted tale is a color riot, suitable for all ages. A consistent feast for the eyes." -Variety

Kon Tiki - Coming Soon
Click for Review HERE
View the Trailer HERE
PG-13 118 min.
Six explorers. 5,000 miles. One incredible journey. Kon Tiki charts a remarkable true story. In 1947, Norwegian zoologist and adventurer Thor Heyerdahl set sale for Polynesia from Peru in a balsa-wood raft that he called Kon Tiki, after the sun god. Heyerdahl (1914-2002) had lived in Polynesia in the late 1930s, and through his studies had developed some unorthodox ideas about early migration to the islands. To prove his theory, and apparently advance his reputation in a overwhelmingly skeptical, unsympathetic professional world, Heyerdahl built the kind of raft that he believed early South American seafarers might have constructed. Kon Tiki is solidly old-fashioned entertainment.
"Just the sort of sprawling adventure that is a perfect warm-up to summer." -Los Angeles Times
