Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie US 2011 / Adult comedy/ Directed by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim Tim and Eric are hitting the big screen in their very-first, big-time motion picture adventure, and they're bringing their friends with them, including Zach Galifianakis, John C. Reilly, Will Ferrell, Jeff Goldblum ... and Shrim! Get ready for an all-new, big-time, fancy-pants feature film from the twisted minds of cult comedy gurus Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!)! Our heroes Tim and Eric are given a billion dollars to make a movie, but squander every dime… and the sinister Schlaaang corporation is pissed. Their lives at stake, the guys skip town in search of a way to pay the money back. When they happen upon a chance to rehabilitate a bankrupt shopping mall full of vagrants, bizarre stores and a man-eating wolf that stalks the food court, they see dollar signs—a billion of them. Featuring cameos from Awesome Show regulars and some of the biggest names in comedy today, Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie is a hilarious cinematic extravaganza that guarantees a least a billion full-blown laughs, and something like 200 baby-chuckles. If not, sorry, no refunds. "...savagely satirical.... mercilessly lampoons an idiot America drowning in corporate flimflam.... The vicious mirth is hit-or-miss but contagious." - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Rated R - Restricted: Persons under 17 must be accompanied by a legal age adult.

Trip To The Moon and The Extraordinary Voyage WINNER! 2011 National Society of Film Critics’ "Best Film Restoration" Award!
A TRIP TO THE MOON / 110th Anniversary Restoration, featuring an all-new music score by AIR! Presented with its fully-restored original colors (painstakingly hand-painted onto the film itself!), and featuring a new, kinetic soundtrack by the rock band AIR, Georges Méliès’ classic 1902 outer space adventure tale is back on the big screen and more beautiful and mind-blowing than ever. In this landmark film, the first science fiction movie ever made, six members of The Astronomers' Club undertake an expedition to the moon (leaving Earth in a rocket fired from a giant cannon), encounter strange moon-residents called The Selenites, and narrowly escape before returning home for a triumphant parade. THE EXTRAORDINARY VOYAGE With the success of Martin Scorsese's Hugo, French film pioneer Georges Méliès (1861-1938; portrayed by Ben Kingsley in Hugo) is once again a household name. This extraordinary new documentary from Serge Bromberg and Eric Lange charts Bromberg’s discovery of a hand-tinted color nitrate print of Méliès masterpiece A Trip to the Moon in Barcelona, and the ensuing challenges posed by one of the most complex film restorations in cinema history. Interviews with acclaimed filmmakers Costa-Gavras (Z), Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie), Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) and Martin Scorsese reveal Méliès' enduring influence on modern cinema, with charming excerpts from Tom Hanks' From the Earth to the Moon paying homage to Méliès' startling vision of space travel. "The gorgeous restoration of Georges Méliès' masterpiece 'A Trip to the Moon' ... was surely a cinematic highlight of the year, maybe the century." - A.O. Scott, New York Times This program has not been rated for content. Contains nothing objectionable

US & UK 2011 / Drama / Directed by Terrence Davies Master chronicler of post-War England, Terence Davies (The Long Day Closes, The House of Mirth) directs Oscar-winner Rachel Weisz as a woman whose overpowering love threatens her well-being and alienates the men in her life. In a deeply vulnerable performance, Weisz plays Hester Collyer, the wife of an upper-class judge (Simon Russell Beale), and a free spirit trapped in a passionless marriage in early 1950s Britain. Her encounter with Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a troubled former Royal Air Force pilot, throws her life in turmoil, as their erotic relationship leaves her emotionally stranded and physically isolated. The Deep Blue Sea is an adaptation of British playwright Terence Rattigan’s famous 1952 play (which also became a 1955 feature film starring Vivien Leigh), featuring one of the greatest roles for an actress in modern theatre.
"The movie is a museum of emotions, brought to contemporary life through the director's artistry and his leading lady's fire." - Richard Corliss, Time Rated R - Restricted: Persons under 17 must be accompanied by a legal age adult. Rated for a scene of sexuality and nudity

US 2011 / Sports Comedy / Directed by Michael Dowse The new comedy from the creator of SUPERBAD and PINEAPPLE EXPRESS Not content with his job as a bouncer at a local Beantown bar and a bit of an embarrassment to his accomplished family, Doug Glatt (Seann William Scott) dreams of the kind of success enjoyed by minor league hockey goon Ross Rhea (Liev Schreiber). When a chance encounter with an on-ice thug leads to a bloody fist fight that Doug easily wins, the coach of the Halifax Highlanders sees potential in this mammoth sized man who is only hampered by his lack of any hockey playing ability and his brother's old figure skates. Standing up to the taunts of the other players, Doug manages to join the team, and with the encouragement of his hockey obsessed best friend (Jay Baruchel) quickly becomes a rising star. Soon he'll have the opportunity to face off against Ross "The Boss" Rhea and perhaps finally land a girlfriend. Now - all he needs is to learn how to skate. "...a hoot....

US/Japan 2011 / Documentary / Directed by David Gelb Jiro Dreams of Sushi is the story of 85 year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world's greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious 3 star Michelin review, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro's sushi bar. At the heart of this story is Jiro's relationship with his eldest son Yoshikazu, the worthy heir to Jiro's legacy, who is unable to live up to his full potential in his father's shadow.
