This Friday we also open the new Michael Mann film FERRARI, starring Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz -- for New Year's Eve we're throwing an Italian la festa at 3:00 pm with complimentary Prosecco, Italian sweets, and Piano/Singer David Hannon in our lobby before our 4pm screening.

BTW, we just reached 80% of our fundraising goal to purchase a new laser projector and we'd love your help in putting us over the top. For those who have already sent in an end-of-year donation, we truly cherish your kindness and applaud your support.

NEW ARRIVALS THIS WEEK...

TITANIC THE MUSICAL... Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and Song Book. Captured live from the London stage!

Based on real people aboard the most legendary ship in the world, Titanic: The Musical is ‘breathtaking’ (the Guardian) and ‘magnificent’ (the Telegraph), a stunning and stirring production focusing on the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of her passengers who each boarded with stories and personal ambitions of their own. All innocently unaware of the fate awaiting them, the Third-Class immigrants dream of a better life in America, the Second Class imagine they too can join the lifestyles of the rich and famous, whilst the millionaire Barons of the First Class anticipate legacies lasting forever.

FERRARI -- Starring Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz, FERRARI is set during the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle and danger of 1950’s Formula 1, ex-racer, Enzo Ferrari, is in crisis. Bankruptcy stalks the company he and his wife, Laura, built from nothing ten years earlier. Their tempestuous marriage struggles with the mourning for their one son. Ferrari struggles with the acknowledgement of another. His drivers’ lust to win pushes them out to the edge. He wagers all in a roll of the dice on one race, the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the iconic Mille Miglia.

CONTINUING THIS WEEK...

THE BOY AND THE HERON (Japanese with English subtitles and Dubbed English Voices versions) - A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead. There, death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning. A semi-autobiographical fantasy about life, death, and creation, in tribute to friendship, from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.  

MAESTRO — Maestro is a biopic film that centers on the relationship between American composer Leonard Bernstein and his wife Felicia Montealegre. It was directed by Bradley Cooper, from a screenplay he wrote with Josh Singer. It was produced by Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Cooper, among others. The film stars Cooper as Bernstein alongside Carey Mulligan as Montealegre; Matt Bomer, Maya Hawke, and Sarah Silverman appear in supporting roles.

“It’s a film for cinephiles as well as musos and romantics, with its discrete

'movements’ mirroring the movie making style of its time frame.”

THE HOLDOVERS — From acclaimed director Alexander Payne (SIDEWAYS THE DESCENDANTS), follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them — a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) — and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).
