| 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 |

It is turn of the century in Belle Epoque Paris and a scandalous romp is
underfoot. The sensational tale begins as the ravishing Lea (Michelle Pfeiffer)
contemplates retirement from her renowned stature as Paris's most envied seductress
to the rich and famous. Her plans are cut short when she is approached by
a former courtesan and arch rival, the barb-throwing gossip Charlotte Peloux
(Kathy Bates), who encourages Lea to teach her disaffected 19-year-old son—a
bon vivant nicknamed "Chéri" (Rupert Friend)—a thing
or two about women. The resulting escapades involve power struggles over sex,
money, age and society—and, unexpectedly, love itself—as a boy who
refuses to grow up collides with a woman who realizes she cannot stay young
forever. Director Stephen Frears (The Queen) and screenwriter Christopher
Hampton (Atonement) reunite (Dangerous Liaisons) to playfully
bring Colette's unconventional romance to the screen. Official

| Exploring the comedic twists and emotional turns in one couple’s journey across contemporary America, Away We Go is the new movie from Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes (American Beauty). Longtime (and now thirtysomething) couple Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph) are going to have a baby. The pregnancy progresses smoothly, but six months in, the pair is put off and put out by the cavalierly delivered news from Burt’s parents Jerry and Gloria (Jeff Daniels and Catherine O’Hara) that the eccentric elder Farlanders are moving out of Colorado—thereby eliminating the expectant couple’s main reason for living there. So, where, and among whom of those closest to them, might Burt and Verona best put down roots to raise their impending bundle of joy? The couple embarks on an ambitious itinerary to reconnect with old friends and family, and to evaluate cities. Co-starring Allison Janney, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Paul Schneider and Chris Messina. Featuring music by singer/songwriter Alexi Murdoch. 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 |

| Daringly original and genre-busting, Deadgirl is an odyssey into the soul of our alienated youth. But by injecting universal teen moral moorings into something fantastical and terrifying, the film takes the conventions of the horror and coming-of-age movies and turns them on their heads. When high school misfits Rickie (Shiloh Fernandez) and JT (Noah Segan) decide to cut school and find themselves lost in the crumbling facility of a nearby abandoned hospital, they come face-to-face with a gruesome discovery: a woman whose body has been stripped naked, chained to a table and covered in plastic. When both react to the situation in extremely different ways, the boys soon find themselves embarking on a twisted yet poignant journey that forces them to decide just how far they're willing to stretch their understanding of right and wrong. A no-holds-barred look at the horror of growing up, Deadgirl also stars Michael Bowen and Candice Accola. Official Web Site |
