AN EDUCATION
(95 PG-13)
Showtimes: 7:10/ 9:10 + Sat. Sun. Mats. 2:10/ 4:10
In the post-war, pre-Beatles London suburbs, a bright schoolgirl is torn between studying for a place at Oxford and the more exciting alternative offered to her by a charismatic older man. "This tale of an English schoolgirl's hard-won wisdom is thrilling --for the radiance of Carey Mulligan's Jenny, who's wonderfully smart and perilously tender; for the grace of Lone Scherfig's direction, and the brilliance of Nick Hornby's screenplay." (Joe Morgenstern, WSJ)

DAMNED UNITED, THE
(97 R)
Showtimes: 9:15 + Sat. Sun. Mats. 4:15
"THE DAMNED UNITED shares with 'The Queen' and 'Frost/Nixon' not only a writer (Peter Morgan) and a star (Michael Sheen), but also a precise and satisfying sense of proportion. It is the rare sports movie that deals with — indeed positively relishes — humiliation and disappointment. Its real-life protagonist, the soccer coach Brian Clough, was, over his long career, a winner with an extraordinary record of accomplishment. But the film, directed by Tom Hooper from Peter Morgan’s script (based on a novel by David Peace), is much more interested in the dramatic flameout that disrupted and almost ended his rise to football glory." (A.O. Scott, NYT) THE DAMNED UNITED has received 82% positive reviews as compiled by metacritic.com

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
(153 R)
Showtimes: 7:00/9:35 + Sat. Mat. 2:00 (No Sun. matinees)
It's not enough to say that "Inglourious Basterds" is Quentin Tarantino's best movie. It's the first movie of his artistic maturity, the film his talent has been promising for more than 15 years. The picture contains all the things his fans like about Tarantino - the wit, the audacity, the sudden violence - but this movie's emotional core and bigness of spirit are new.

COCO BEFORE CHANEL
(105 PG-13)
Showtimes: 7:05 + Sat. Sun. Mats. 2:05
Coco Chanel turned the world of women's fashion upside down, liberating early 20th century women from stays and ruffles--but before she became a famous couturier, she was a penniless girl raised in a convent orphanage. Coco became a music hall chanteuse, then the mistress of a rich man, but unsatisfied with dependence and obscurity, she used her talent, insight and determination to create a blazing career for herself. Starring Audrey Tautou

SERIOUS MAN, A
(105 R)
Showtimes: 7:20/ 9:30 + Sat. Sun. Mats. 2:20/ 4:30
"A SERIOUS MAN is a tart, brilliantly acted fable of life's little cosmic difficulties, a Coen brothers comedy with a darker philosophical outlook than 'No Country for Old Men' but with a script rich in verbal wit. This time it's God -- or chance, or fate with a grudge against the Minneapolis suburbs -- wielding the stun gun. The most we can do, the film implies, is stick to our principles and hope for the best. Physics professor Larry Gopnik, played by the excellent Michael Stuhlbarg in precisely modulated degrees of panic, is God's chosen sufferer, coping with a failing marriage, his son's imminent bar mitzvah, a South Korean student bribing him for a better grade. The time is 1967. The film begins with a Yiddish-language prologue set a century earlier in a Polish shtetl, in which a man and a woman are visited by an ancient character (Fyvush Finkel). The wife thinks he may be a dybbuk, or supernatural intruder, and deals with him in a way that either saves them or curses them -- we don't know. Do we ever know?" (Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune)

BRIGHT STAR
(119 PG)
Showtimes: 7:15 Ends Thursday
BRIGHT STAR premieres Friday October 9 at 7 pm, and the first screening will be followed by audience discussion led by Cornell English professor A. Reeve Parker.
"BRIGHT STAR satisfies a hunger we may not have known we had, a hunger for an exquisitely done, emotional love story that marries heartbreaking passion to formidable filmmaking restraint, all in the service of an unapologetically romantic belief in 'the holiness of the heart's affections.' The affections in question are those of the poet who wrote those words, John Keats, perhaps the greatest of England's 19th century Romantics, and Fanny Brawne, literally the girl next door. They met in 1818, when Keats was 23 and Brawne 18, a little more than two years before his dreadful death from tuberculosis. The intensity of their fervent connection brought forth some of Keats' greatest work, including the poem that gives the piece its title, and motivated filmmaker Jane Campion to create one of the most moving, most transporting love stories in memory..."
