Special Screening March 9 with Rick Dial:
Actor Rick Dial, who plays "Wesley Barnes," the keyboardist in Bad Blake's band in the film Crazy Heart, will join us for a Q&A following the 7:30 PM screening on Tuesday, March 9.  Normal ticket prices apply.

Four-time Academy Award® nominee Jeff Bridges stars as the richly comic, semi-tragic romantic anti-hero Bad Blake in the debut feature film Crazy Heart from writer-director Scott Cooper. Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Golden Globe® Nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart.

Critically-acclaimed lead performances (including Bridges' Golden Globe-winning portrayal of Blake) and songs (the original music for the film, composed by T-Bone Burnett, also won a Golden Globe) make this one of the most talked-about independent films of the year.

"It’s one of the year’s best, most deeply felt films."
-Kyle Smith, New York Post

"Jeff Bridges' character may be called Bad Blake, but his performance is incredibly good, perhaps the best of his career."
-Claudia Puig, USA Today

"Hand the Oscar to Jeff Bridges right now."
-Stephen Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

IL DIVO
Coming March 9 at 7:45 PM
For more than 50 years, he has been Italy's most powerful, feared and enigmatic politician. And as Giulio Andreotti begins his seventh term as Prime Minister, he and his hardliner faction take control of a country reeling from the brazen murders of several high-level bankers, judges and journalists, as well as the kidnapping and assassination of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro. But as the Christian Democrat party crumbles in a nationwide bribery scandal, suspicion begins to fall on Andreotti himself as the center of a shocking conspiracy involving the Vatican, the Mafia and the secret neo-Fascist Masonic Lodge P2. In what is called “The Trial Of The Century,” Italy's legendary Senator for Life will stand accused of corruption, collusion and murder.

"Simultaneously exhilarating and confounding, dazzling and confusing, this is filmmaking of such verve and style that you likely won't care that you can't follow it completely."
-Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"At long last in this year's Cannes Competition, a film on a serious subject that nevertheless consistently entertains and often makes you laugh out loud."
-Peter Brunette, Hollywood Reporter

After almost fifty years of marriage, the Countess Sofya, Leo Tolstoy’s devoted wife, passionate lover, muse and secretary—she’s copied out War and Peace six times…by hand—suddenly finds her entire world turned upside down. In the name of his newly created religion, the great Russian novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and even celibacy. After she’s born him thirteen children! When Sofya then discovers that Tolstoy’s trusted disciple, Chertkov —whom she despises—may have secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will, leaving the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his very own family, she is consumed by righteous outrage. This is the last straw. Using every bit of cunning, every trick of seduction in her considerable arsenal, she fights fiercely for what she believes is rightfully hers.

"The arrival of a movie with as much intelligence and artistry as The Last Station should also be accompanied by the sound of trumpets."
-Rex Reed, New York Observer

"Every second Helen Mirren is on-screen in The Last Station is a study in peerless talent."
-Claudia Puig, USA Today

"Helen Mirren is a lusty, roaring wonder playing, of all things, the long-suffering wife of Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer in peak form)."
-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
