Review: ‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’ entertains and disarms
Courtesy Los Angeles Times By Robert Abele Nov. 8, 2022 2:17 PM PT Every “Pinocchio” is some wonder-struck filmmaker’s hope that their carved, sculpted and painted version of Italian author Carlo Collodi’s 140-year-old story about a manufactured boy will be accepted...
NOW SHOWING

Emily
An imagining of Emily Brontë’s own Gothic story that inspired her seminal novel, “Wuthering Heights.” Haunted by the death of her mother, Emily struggles within the confines of her family life and yearns for artistic and personal freedom, and so begins a journey to channel her creative potential into one of the greatest novels of all time. (R, 2h 10m)
“A film about the gifted, strange Brontë sister that mingles fact with imagination to depict Emily’s adult years.” – Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
“A bold and audacious retelling of Emily Brontë’s life starring an uncommonly compelling Emma Mackey.” – Jocelyn Noveck, Associated Press
“O’Connor’s liberties work for a story that, above all, is about art as an act of radical sovereignty.” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times

EO
Opens, Friday, March 24th!
The world is a mysterious place when seen through the eyes of an animal. EO, a grey donkey with melancholic eyes, meets good and bad people on his life’s path, experiences joy and pain, endures the wheel of fortune randomly turn his luck into disaster and his despair into unexpected bliss. But not even for a moment does he lose his innocence. (in Polish with subtitles, 1h 28m)
“EO is a thrillingly imaginative piece of filmmaking: a strange, haunting epic about a donkey that couldn’t feel more of our moment.” – John Powers, NPR
“EO is an astonishment and so too is this wild, boldly expressionistic movie that conveys the life of its largely silent protagonist with a bare minimum of dialogue.” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times

80 For Brady
Opens Friday, March 24th!
Inspired by the true story of 4 best friends and New England Patriots fans who take a life-changing trip to Super Bowl LI to see their hero Tom Brady play, and the chaos that ensues as they navigate the wilds of the biggest sporting event in the country. Starring major multi-award-winning iconic actresses Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field, with 7-time Super Bowl Champion and producer Tom Brady. (PG-13, 1h 38m)
“80 for Brady is brassy, ridiculous, and shameless. It’s also irresistible, maybe because watching older ladies having fun is almost embarrassingly seductive.” – Stephanie Zacharek, Time Magazine
“It’s pure joy to see these women we have loved and grown with over the decades. They still give their considerable best to make us laugh, dream of our own adventures, and wish they could be around for another two centuries.” – Nell Minow, Roger-Ebert.com

The Quiet Girl
Oscar-Nominated for Best International Film!
In this Irish film, Cáit, a nine-year old girl, from an overcrowded, dysfunctional family is taken by her father to live with distant relatives for the summer months. These are Seán and Eibhlín Kinsella, a middle-aged farming couple she has never met. Without knowing when she will return home, Cáit is left at the strangers’ house with only the clothes she is wearing. Slowly, in the care of the Kinsellas, she blossoms and discovers a new way of living. But in this house where affection grows and there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one. (Mostly Irish (Gaelic) language with subtitles, PG13, 84 mins)
“A genuine work of art by a genuinely empathetic artist, and one of the single most moving, heartfelt, and heartbreaking movies from any country in the last decade. That only sounds like hyperbole until you see it.” – David Fear, Rolling Stone
“There may not be a movie more expressive of the season’s benevolent ethos than this hushed work about kith and kindness.” – Lisa Kennedy, New York Times

Everything Everywhere All At Once
2023 WINNER of 7 Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor & Actress, Best Editing & Best Original Screenplay!
Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, the film is a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action adventure about an exhausted Chinese American woman (Michelle Yeoh – Crazy Rich Asians) who can’t seem to finish her taxes. She becomes swept up in an insane adventure where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes connecting with the lives she could have lived. (R, 2h19m)
“Yes, the movie is a metaphysical multiverse galaxy-brain head trip, but deep down — and also right on the surface — it’s a bittersweet domestic drama, a marital comedy, a story of immigrant striving and a hurt-filled ballad of mother-daughter love.” – A.O. Scott, NY Times

Living
Oscar Nominated for Best Actor (Bill Nighy) and Best Adapted Screenplay
The story of an ordinary man, played by Bill Nighy, in 1950s London, reduced by years of oppressive office routine to a shadow existence, who at the eleventh hour makes a supreme effort to turn his dull life into something wonderful. From a screenplay by Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature Kazuo Ishiguro, and based on the 1952 Japanese film Ikiru directed by Akira Kurosawa, which was in turn based on The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy. (PG-13, 1h 42m)
“Nighy makes it look effortless; he gives an Oscar-worthy performance that made me cry almost as much as Takashi Shimura did in Kurosawa’s classic.” – Odie Henderson, Boston Globe
“The highest compliment I can pay Living is that it takes those dusty ideas and makes them resonate once more. Not unlike remembering an old, familiar song, and understanding it for the first time.” – Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/ Vulture
“Bill Nighy delivers a master class in acting as a stifled Brit bureaucrat who decides to seize the day before it’s too late. Working in miniature to achieve major truths, this deeply human drama has the power to sneak up and knock you sideways.” – Peter Travers, ABC News

Cat Daddies
Wednesday, March 22nd at 7:15 pm!
Man has found a new best friend: Tora, Pickles, Lucky, Zulu, Toodles, Flame and GoalKitty. These are just some of the lovable feline stars of director Mye Hoang’s debut documentary film. A heartwarming and tender portrait of a diverse group of men whose lives have been forever changed by their love of cats, Cat Daddies takes us on an inspiring journey all across the United States during the challenging early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when people desperately needed hope and companionship. These nine “cat dads” come from all walks of life – a firefighter, a truck driver, a Hollywood stuntman, an ad executive turned cat rescuer, a police officer, a software engineer, an actor/Instagram influencer, a school teacher and an undocumented and disabled immigrant living on the streets of New York City. They couldn’t be any more different, but each of them has a compelling story to tell and share an unconditional love for their beloved cats. A refreshing and timely exploration of modern masculinity, Cat Daddies shows us how being a “cat person” has no gender, and that the unlikely bond between man and cat is here to stay. (1h 29m)
“Although it shouldn’t be so rare to see this kind of compassion between men, it’s what ultimately distinguishes “Cat Daddies” where curiosity, in spite of the long-held idiom, is actually rewarded.” – Stephen Saito, Moveable Feast
“Mye Hoang’s irresistibly appealing documentary is so insightfully observed, beautifully crafted and warmly empathetic that even normally feline-averse viewers will want to sing its praises and hold it close to their hearts.” – Joe Leydon, The Moving Picture Show
If you would like to support local cat rescue groups, consider purchasing a $20 VIP ticket to this event which includes a bunch of goodies for friends of felines. Information & tickets here or by clicking or scanning the picture below*.

What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears?
Wednesday, March 29th at 7:15 pm!
SAVE TIME – BOOK ONLINE!
Blood, Sweat & Tears, known for hits such as “Spinning Wheel”, “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy”, and “And When I Die”, headlined the legendary Woodstock Festival and won multiple Grammy Awards, most notably 1970’s win for Album Of The Year, besting The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” and “Johnny Cash at San Quinten.” This is the incredible never-before-told story about a top rock band that was unknowingly embroiled in a political rat’s nest involving the U.S. State Department, the Nixon White House and a controversial concert tour of Yugoslavia, Romania and Poland, countries that were behind what was then known as the Iron Curtain. As a result, they found themselves in the crossfire of a polarized America, as divided then as it is now. (1h 52m)

The Naro Night Owls series returns on March 31st with the Talking Heads – Stop Making Sense
Director Jonathan Demme captures the frantic energy and artsy groove of Talking Heads in this concert movie shot at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in 1983. The band’s frontman, David Byrne, first appears on an empty stage, armed with only an acoustic guitar, and is gradually joined by bassist Tina Weymouth, drummer Chris Frantz, keyboardist Jerry Harrison and a cadre of backup singers as they perform the band’s hits, culminating in an iconic performance featuring Byrne in an enormous suit. (1984, 1H, 28m)
“Stop Making Sense is a concert film with a narrative, bursting at the seams with bits of invention and passion.” – Slant Magazine

Easter in Art
Special Matinee Screening on Palm Sunday, April 2nd. Time to be announced.
The story of Christ’s death and resurrection has dominated western culture for the past 2000 years. It is perhaps the most significant historical event of all time, as recounted by the gospels but, equally, as depicted by the greatest artists in history. From the triumphant to the savage, the ethereal to the tactile, some of western civilization’s greatest artworks focus on this pivotal moment. This beautifully crafted film by the London-based film company that produces ‘Exhibition On Screen’ explores the Easter story as depicted in art, from the time of the early Christians to the present day. We will visit the Vatican and some of the most prestigious museums throughout Europe and the U.S. for intimate viewings of iconic masterpieces by Caravaggio, Dali, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Rubens, and Titian. (90 mins)
Presented with the Chrysler Museum
