About Schmidt
The Oscar nominations
reflect the quality of the work done by the performers in this consistently
well-acted story of realistic, interesting characters. Golden Globe awards
for Nicholson and for best screenplay demonstrate that this well-written
tale is a favorite with viewers as well as reviewers. Simply put, this
is a story about a man who discovers something truly unexpected at the
end of his rope: life. Schmidt has finally reached retirement and finds
himself alone. When his wife unexpectedly passes away, he journeys across
the country in an RV to repair the rift with his daughter, just as she
is set to marry into an eccentric family. The film's dark comedy serves
as the roadway Schmidt follows to discovery. Schmidt's exploration of
his own life is an extraordinary portrayal by an actor better known for
characters that are the polar opposite of Schmidt. at 7 & 9:15 PM

Chicago
The musical is back. And what a way to reintroduce itself. With
murder and sex and all that jazz, Bob Fosse's Chicago has made its way
to the big screen with some big stars to do it justice. Fresh from wins
at the Golden Globes, Chicago is the story of two starlets who use murder
to up their celebrity. Velma Kelley (Zeta-Jones) is hot on the club circuit
and increases her fame when she winds up on murderess-row. Slick lawyer
Billy Flynn (Gere) makes her case a sensation, but puts it on the back
burner when Roxie Hart, (Zellweger) a young up-and-comer, gets herself
into some hot water, and he makes her case his number one priority. This
is tabloid stuff before Jerry Springer, but remade with its own style
and substance. It's great, it's fun, it's a wild ride. at 7 & 9 PM,

Max
This
controversial film is a favorite of the critics. Though it may offend
some, Max paints a portrait of a man who might have become an artist,
but instead became the villain of the century. Max is a Jewish art dealer
who comes back from World War I with an entrepreneurial spirit. He befriends
a young Adolf Hitler and tries to help him develop his art and a career
as an artist. It becomes apparent that young Adolf¹s desires are
more political than artistic, however, and Max must let him go his own
way. This film is an exploration of how Hitler became the character he
now known to be, and how a simple flip of the circumstantial switch might
have taken the world on an altogether different road leading to a very
different history. Friday, March 21; Sunday, March 23; & Monday, March
24 at 7 PM, Tuesday, March 25 through Thursday, March 27 at 9:15 PM, Matinee:

Bowling for Columbine
Some say that Michael Moore is not an objective documentarian.
Who is? In this Oscar-nominated exploration of America¹s fascination
with guns and gun-culture, Moore takes a walk through our communities
and makes the point that the violence in our society should be no surprise.
Our love of guns as a countryfrom cowboys to cops and robbershas
made guns accessible to almost everyone. This film will make you think,
talk and wonder about our American Way more than any other film to come
out this year. Friday, March 21; Sunday, March 23; and Monday, March 24
