Golden Globe Winner: Best Director - Martin Scorsese
Nominated for 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.
Throughout his extraordinary career, Academy Award winning director
Martin Scorsese has brought his unique vision and dazzling gifts to
life in a series of unforgettable films. For his latest film, Scorsese
utilizes 3D technology to take us on a thrilling journey into the magical
world of Hugo. Based on Brian Selznick's imaginative bestseller, The
Invention of Hugo Cabret, the film follows this wily and resourceful
boy on his quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father, a secret
that will transform him and all those around him. Scorsese has assembled
an impressive acting ensemble comprised of rising new talent working
alongside venerated stars, including Ben Kingsley, Jude Law, Sacha Baron
Cohen, Asa Butterfield, Chloë Grace Moretz, Ray Winstone, Emily
Mortimer and Michael Stuhlbarg. "A masterpiece! Bursting with emotion
and exquisitely inhabited by Butterfield and the rest of the cast, this
beautiful film is a mechanism that comes to life at the turn of a key
in the shape of a heart." Richard Corliss, Time. "Hugo
will take your breath away. It truly is the stuff that dreams are made
of. A spectacular adventure for film lovers of all ages." Peter
Travers, Rolling Stone. 126 min.

Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley and Michael Fassbinder star in David
Cronenberg's (Eastern Promises, A History of Violence, Crash)

events, A Dangerous Method takes a glimpse into the turbulent
relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung, his mentor Sigmund
Freud, and Sabina Spielrein, the troubled but beautiful young woman
who comes between them. Into the mix comes Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel),
a debauched patient who is determined to push the boundaries. In this
exploration of sensuality, ambition and deceit set the scene for the
pivotal moment when Jung, Freud and Sabina come together and split apart,
forever changing the face of modern thought. From a screenplay by Academy
Award winning writer Christopher Hampton (Atonement, Dangerous Liaisons),
who adapted his own stage play The Talking Cure for the screen.

The stellar cast includes Gary Oldman, John Hurt, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy
and Ciaran Hinds. The time is 1973. The Cold War of the mid-20th Century
continues to damage international relations. Britain's Secret Intelligence
Service, a.k.a. MI6, and code-named the Circus, is striving to keep
pace with other countries' espionage efforts and to keep the U.K. secure.
The head of the Circus, known as Control (Hurt), sends dedicated operative
Jim Prideaux into Hungary. But Jim's mission goes bloodily awry, and
Control is forced out of the Circus as is his top lieutenant, George
Smiley (Oldman), a career spy with razor-sharp senses. There is a gnawing

unsolved murder of a young girl still haunts her industrialist uncle
forty years later. Ensconced in a cottage on the island where the killer

Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Redmayne and Judi Dench star
in this film about one idyllic week in the life of Marilyn Monroe. Set
in the summer of 1956, the action takes place on the set of the film
that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier (Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe
(Williams). At the time Monroe was also on honeymoon with her new husband,
the playwright Arthur Miller. But when Arthur Miller leaves England,
the coast is clear for Marilyn - desperate to get away from her retinue
of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work - to experience some
of the pleasures of British life. The collision of the two worlds, old

his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident
off Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters
while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family's land that was

is one of those satisfying, emotionally rich films that works on multiple
levels." Peter Debruge, Variety. 115 min.
I Am
Bruce Lee - One Show Only!
Thurs. 2/9 at 7:00
Bruce Lee's spirit remains an inspiration to untold numbers of people
around the world and when he died on July 20, 1973, the world mourned
the passing of a true renaissance man. This compelling film uncovers
Bruce's life, his enormous impact, and his ever-expanding legacy in
the world of martial arts, entertainment and beyond -- despite his tragic
and sudden death at the age of 32. The film features interviews with
people who knew Bruce intimately, along with a broad array of international
icons from the entertainment and athletic fields -- people whose lives,
careers and belief systems have been forever altered by the legend UFC
President Dana White calls the "Father of Mixed Martial Arts."
Interviews include basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, acclaimed actors
Mickey Rourke and Ed O'Neill, world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao,
UFC's Dana White, world champion Jon Jones, and a host of Bruce Lee's
family, friends and associates. Using a combination of rarely seen archival
footage, classic photos, and cutting edge visuals and graphics, the
film goes more deeply into the story of this legendary master than ever
before. Movie website: http://www.iambruceleemovie.com/ 90 min.
