Tetro is writer/director Francis Ford Coppola's first original screenplay
since 1974's The Conversation. It is his most personal film yet, arising
from memories and emotions from his early life, though totally fictional.
When Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich) finds his long-estranged brother Tetro (Vincent
Gallo) living in Buenos Aires, he discovers that his sibling, once a brilliant
writer, is now tormented and self-destructive. A bittersweet story
of two brothers, of family lost and found and the conflicts and secrets within
a highly creative Argentine-Italian family, the drama co-stars Klaus Maria Brandauer,
Maribel Verdú and Carmen Maura. Official

Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing
the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer
with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, the USDA and FDA.
Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that
often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American
farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted
chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even
tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli—the
harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually.
We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an
epidemic level of diabetes among adults. Featuring interviews with such experts
as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's
Dilemma) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield
Farms' Gary Hirschberg and Polyface Farms' Joe Salatin, Food, Inc.
reveals surprising—and often shocking truths—about what we eat,
how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from
here. Official Web

| Filmmaker Woody Allen returns to New York with an offbeat comedy about a crotchety, world class grouch named Boris (Larry David, writer/star of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and co-creator of "Seinfeld"). One night, he is about to enter his apartment when he is approached by a young runaway named Melody (Evan Rachel Wood) who begs to be let inside. Seeing that she is hungry and cold, he reluctantly agrees. Melody turns out to be dewy-eyed innocent from Mississippi, who takes every sarcastic comment Boris makes completely literally. Boris helpfully tells her she is too fragile to survive in New York, but he allows her to stay for a "few nights." But as time passes, Melody makes herself at home, and shows no intention of moving out. When her uptight parents (Patricia Clarkson and Ed Begley, Jr.) arrive to rescue her from the misanthropic Boris, they are quickly drawn into wildly unexpected romantic entanglements. Everyone discovers that finding love is just a combination of lucky chance and appreciating the value of "whatever works." Co-starring Michael McKean and Conleth Hill. Official Web Site |

| The longest-running midnight movie of all time stars Tim Curry as the kinky yet endearing “transsexual from Transylvania” Dr. Frank N. Furter, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick as his hapless guests Brad and Janet, Meat Loaf as motorcycle-riding rough trade and author Richard O’Brien as the hunchbacked butler Riff Raff. It’s harmless musical fun—a delightful spoof of Hollywood horror movies and Old Dark House melodramas. All of our engagements feature live casts who perform scenes during the movie, and the audience is always welcome to respond to the on-screen action. The Rocky Horror Picture was the first—and is still the best—interactive movie experience! Official Web Site |
