PIRATE RADIO  (116  R)
Showtimes: 7:15/ 9:30 + Sat. Sun. Mats. 2:15/ 4:30

Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens secretly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a musical pick-me-up. The Radio Rock roster, overseen by unflappable station owner (and ship’s captain) Quentin, includes a risk-prone American known only as The Count; mystic deejay royalty Gavin; slyly amorous Dave; idiosyncratic New Zealander Angus; the rarely seen Bob; the aptly named Thick Kevin; lovelorn Simon; ladies’ magnet Mark; shy Harold; reporter News John; and lesbian ship’s cook Felicity. One night in 1966, Quentin’s teenaged godson Carl comes aboard. While Carl harbors romantic aspirations that he hopes will be fulfilled during one of the biweekly visits by Radio Rock’s prettiest fans, he also hopes to find out more about his long-absent father.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE  (101  PG)
Showtimes: 7:00 + Sat. Sun. Mats. 2:00/ 4:00

"Profoundly beautiful and affecting, Where the Wild Things Are is a breath-
taking act of artistic transubstantiation. From Maurice Sendak's beloved picture book about a rambunctious little boy named Max and the kingdom of untamed creatures who adopt him as their like-minded king, filmmaker Spike Jonze has made a movie that is true to Sendak's unique sensibilities and simultaneously true to Jonze's own colorful instincts for anarchy." (EW) With Catherine Keener, Max Records, Mark Ruffalo and the voices of Lauren Ambrose, James Gandolfini, Forest Whitaker, Catherine O'Hara, and Paul Dano

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 Ends Thursday


"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: 9:00 Ends Thursday


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)
