AMERICANSNIPERposter2.jpg

AMERICAN SNIPER (R)   Drama/Action/Adventure  (2 hr 14 min --not including 8
to 12 min of previews)
>From director Clint Eastwood comes "American Sniper," starring Bradley
Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. But
there was much more to this true American hero than his skill with a rifle.
U.S. Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to
protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on
the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns
the nickname "Legend." However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy
lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of
insurgents. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home,
Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, becoming
emblematic of the SEAL creed to "leave no man behind." But upon returning
home, Chris finds that it is the war he can't leave behind. 

Powered by Clint Eastwood's sure-handed direction and a gripping central
performance from Bradley Cooper, American Sniper delivers a tense, vivid
tribute to its real-life subject.

ONE OF THE YEAR'S BEST!!
IMIherald.jpg

THE IMITATION GAME (PG13)   Mystery/Suspense/Drama  (1 hr 54 min--not
including 8 to 12 min of previews)
During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of
mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch)
to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing
himself on charges of 'gross indecency', an accusation that would lead to
his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality -
little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of
modern-day computing. Famously leading a motley group of scholars,
linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with
cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma
machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man,
THE IMITATION GAME follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to
shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives. 

With an outstanding starring performance from Benedict Cumberbatch
illuminating its fact-based story, The Imitation Game serves as an eminently
well-made entry in the "prestige biopic" genre.

Liam Neeson returns as ex-covert operative Bryan Mills, whose reconciliation
with his ex-wife is tragically cut short when she is brutally murdered.
Consumed with rage, and framed for the crime, he goes on the run to evade
the relentless pursuit of the CIA, FBI and the police. For one last time,
Mills must use his "particular set of skills," to track down the real
killers, exact his unique brand of justice, and protect the only thing that
matters to him now - his daughter.
