FLORENCE.jpg
FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS (PG13)
A wealthy New York heiress (Meryl Streep) attempts to become an opera singer
despite her horrible singing voice. Hugh Grant and Rebecca Ferguson co-star
in this biopic directed by Stephen Frears.
 Florence Foster Jenkins makes poignant, crowd-pleasing dramedy out of its
stranger-than-fiction tale -- and does its subject justice with a reliably
terrific turn from star Meryl Streep.

SAT: (2:00) - (5:00) - 8:00

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE (PG13)
Raised on hip-hop and foster care, defiant city kid Ricky gets a fresh start
in the New Zealand countryside. He quickly finds himself at home with his
new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella, the cantankerous Uncle Hec, and
dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another
home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush. As a national manhunt
ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze
of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family. Equal parts
road comedy and rousing adventure story, director Taika Waititi (WHAT WE DO
IN THE SHADOWS, upcoming THOR: RAGNORAK) masterfully weaves lively humor
with emotionally honest performances by Sam Neill and Julian Dennison. A
hilarious, touching crowd-pleaser, HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE reminds us
about the journey that growing up is (at any age) and those who help us
along the way.

The charmingly offbeat Hunt for the Wilderpeople unites a solid cast, a
talented filmmaker, and a poignant, funny, deeply affecting message.

PETESPOSTER.jpg
PETE'S DRAGON (PG)
A reimagining of Disney's cherished family film, "Pete's Dragon" is the
adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who
just so happens to be a dragon. "Pete's Dragon" stars Bryce Dallas Howard
("Jurassic World"), Oakes Fegley ("This is Where I Leave You"), Wes Bentley
("The Hunger Games"), Karl Urban ("Star Trek"), Oona Laurence ("Southpaw")
and Oscar (R) winner Robert Redford ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier").
The film, which is directed by David Lowery ("Ain't Them Bodies Saints"), is
written by Lowery & Toby Halbrooks based on a story by Seton I. Miller and
S.S. Field and produced by Jim Whitaker, p.g.a. ("The Finest Hours," "Friday
Night Lights"), with Barrie M. Osborne ("The Lord of the Rings: The
Fellowship of the Ring," "The Great Gatsby") serving as executive producer.
For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local
children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods
of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who
works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall
tales...until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious
10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with
a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete's descriptions, Elliott
seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham's stories. With the
help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes
Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete
came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon. 
Pete's Dragon continues Disney's current live-action winning streak with an
update that gives the original a visual overhaul without overwhelming its
sweet, soulful charm.

AN AVON EXCLUSIVE!!
LAST SHOWS THIS WEEKEND!

INDIGNATION (R)
Based on Philip Roth's late novel, Indignation takes place in 1951, as
Marcus Messner (Logan Lerman), a brilliant working class Jewish boy from
Newark, New Jersey, travels on scholarship to a small, conservative college
in Ohio, thus exempting him from being drafted into the Korean War. But once
there, Marcus's growing infatuation with his beautiful classmate Olivia
Hutton (Sarah Gadon), and his clashes with the college's imposing Dean,
Hawes Caudwell (Tracy Letts), put his and his family's best laid plans to
the ultimate test.

Indignation proves it's possible to put together an engaging Philip Roth
adaptation -- and offers a compelling calling card for debuting
writer-director James Schamus.

INDIGNATION (R)
FRI, SAT & SUN: (4:00)
