Lost City of Z
Now Playing!
At the dawn of the 20th century, British explorer Percy Fawcett journeys into the Amazon, where he discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment, which views indigenous populations as savages, the determined Fawcett, supported by his devoted wife, son, and aide-de-camp, returns to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case.
If you long for a film in the tradition of such grown-up entertainments as “Lawrence of Arabia” and “The English Patient,” this is one to get lost in.
Rated: R
Length: 103 minutes
Chuck
Opens Friday, May 26th!
He was the pride of Bayonne, New Jersey, a man who went fifteen rounds in the ring with Muhammad Ali, and the real life inspiration for Rocky Balboa. But before all that, Chuck Wepner (Liev Schreiber) was a liquor salesman and father with a modest prizefighting career whose life changed overnight when, in 1975, he was chosen to take on The Greatest in a highly publicized title match. It’s the beginning of a wild ride through the exhilarating highs and humbling lows of sudden fame—but what happens when your fifteen minutes in the spotlight are up? Driven by a committed performance from Liev Schreiber, Chuck is a refreshingly human tale of resilience and redemption. Elisabeth Moss and Naomi Watts costar.
Chuck isn’t attempting to reinvent any wheels, but it is consistently gripping — slick as a skip rope and just one hell of a story.
The Lovers
Opens Friday, June 2!
Debra Winger and Tracy Letts play a long-married, dispassionate couple who are both in the midst of serious affairs. But on the brink of calling it quits, a spark between them suddenly reignites, leading them into an impulsive romance.
“The Lovers” keeps folding, changing and evolving, but stays to its central theme, exploring two uncomfortably real characters who can’t get out of the way of each other or themselves. –
Rated: PG-13
Length: 120 minutes

Thursday, June 22!
Join us for the first Brew & View of summer as we unleash Animal House on the Myrna Loy Center! The evening kicks off at 6:00 PM with a street party. We’ll have beer, wine, music and a TOGA CONTEST.

At a 1962 college, Dean Vernon Wormer is determined to expel the entire Delta Tau Chi Fraternity, but those trouble-makers have other plans for him.
An unashamed sense of its own fantasy is coupled with classically mounted slapstick; nostalgia mixes with cynicism in seductive proportions; and John Belushi’s central performance as brain-damaged slob-cum-Thief of Baghdad is wonderful.
The Beguiled

The Beguiled stars Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning. At a girls’ school in Virginia during the Civil War, where the young women have been sheltered from the outside world, a wounded Union soldier is taken in.

Brew & View: The Big Lebowski
Thursday, July 13th!
Join us for our third annual Big Lebowski Brew & View! The evening kicks off at 6:00 PM with a street party. We’ll have beer, wine, music and a our annual costume contest! Come as The Dude, Walter, Jesus, or whichever character strikes your fancy! Food vendors will also be available so bring your appetite. At 8:00 we’ll start the film that changed interior design forever!
Jeff Bridges plays Jeff Lebowski who insists on being called “the Dude,” a laid-back, easygoing burnout who happens to have the same name as a millionaire whose wife owes a lot of dangerous people a whole bunch of money — resulting in the Dude having his rug soiled, sending him spiraling into the Los Angeles underworld.
The Big Lebowski is a mess. But what a glorious, wonderfully-entertaining mess it is.
