Up

Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and an overly optimistic 8-year old Junior Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life when he ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of South America. From Academy Award-nominated director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.), Up invites you on a hilarious journey into a lost world, with the least likely duo on Earth.

“A lovely, thoughtful, and yes, uplifting adventure.” - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly. 

Rated PG for some peril and action, 96 mins.

Easy Virtue

The twenties have roared... the thirties have yet to swing.  John Whittaker, a young Englishman, falls madly in love with Larita, a sexy and glamorous American woman, and they marry impetuously. However, when the couple returns to the family home, his mother has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law. Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law.  Larita quickly realizes Mrs. Whittaker’s game and sees that she must fight back if she’s not to lose John in this breezy, hilarious movie adapted from Noel Coward’s play.

“Effervescent entertainment!” - Todd McCarthy, Variety. 

“Director Stephan Elliott uncorks a rare vintage of laughs tinged with heartache.”  - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.

Rated PG-13 for  sexual content, brief partial nudity, and smoking throughout, 93 mins.
