We apologize for any inconvenience. Loew SeriesSaturday, November 14 @ 6:30 & 8:45 PMBright StarD: Jane Campion, UK, 2009, 119 minutes Written and directed by Academy Award winner Jane Campion, BRIGHT STAR is a riveting drama based on the three-year romance between 19th century poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne, which was cut short by Keats' untimely death at age 25. Ben Whishaw (I'M NOT THERE) and Abbie Cornish (STOP-LOSS) star as Keats and Brawne in this "extraordinary" film (The New Yorker). DFS SeriesSunday, November 15 @ 7:00 PMJennifer's BodyD: Karyn Kusama, USA, 2009, 92 minutes From the original mind of Oscar-winner Diablo Cody (JUNO) comes a hilarious horror film about a gorgeous cheerleader with a dark secret. TRANSFORMERS star Megan Fox plays Jennifer Check, a libidinous high-school bombshell who is possessed by a carnivorous demon with an appetite for teenage boys. As male classmates start dropping left and right, it's up to Jennifer's best friend Needy (MAMMA MIA's Amanda Seyfried) to stem the carnage. DFS SeriesWednesday, November 18 @ 7:00 PMThe Loved OneD: Tony Richardson, USA, 1965, 122 minutes This merciless satire from Oscar-winning director Tony Richardson (TOM JONES) tells of a young poet who travels to Hollywood and finds himself tangled up in the wacky workplace politics of a local funeral home. The eccentric employees include an unctuous cemetery entrepreneur, an obsessive mortician and a bizarre coffin salesman (played by Liberace!). This irreverent comic farce spoofs the death industry with unrestrained verve. Loew SeriesThursday, November 19 @ 7:00 PM3 Masterworks by 3 MastersFrederic Back, gained his second Oscar for his loving tribute to one man's generosity of spirit in The Man Who Planted Trees. Osamu Tezuka's Legend of the Forest is his own plea for the environment, played out as an encyclopedic history of 2D animation. Finally, Chinese brush-painting master, Te Wei, sensitively animated the passing of tradition from master to student in Feeling from Mountain and Water. Loew SeriesSaturday, November 21 @ 6:30 & 8:30 PMThe September IssueD: R.J. Cutler, USA, 2009, 90 minutes Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine for 20 years, is the most powerful and polarizing figure in fashion. She has never allowed anyone to scrutinize the inner workings of her fiefdom—until now. With unprecedented access, ISSUE takes the viewer face to face with the real-life inspiration for THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and the creation of the must-have Bible of fashion. FILM CHANGE! Due to print unavailability, SHUTTER ISLAND has been replaced by ZOMBIELAND. We apologize for any inconvenience. DFS SeriesSunday, November 22 @ 7:00 PMZombielandD: Ruben Fleischer, USA, 2009, 88 minutes Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other. |

Zombies, vampires and ghosts share screen time with funerals, suicides and murders—truly something for everyone! Laugh (JENNIFER'S BODY), cry (BARBARIAN), cringe (THE OTHERS) or think (DEAD MAN WALKING): Regardless, Death will have its say and its due.
