Friday &  Sunday   May 17 & 19 (7 pm)

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday  May 21,22, 23 (7 pm)

   42

Drama, Action and Sports. 2 hr 8 min.Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. "42" tells the story of two men-the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey-whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and even other players. Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey's hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking-ultimately winning over fans and his teamm! ates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow.

New York Post
Lou Lemenick

 
An inspiring, old-school biopic that doesn't pull any punches in depicting the ugly racism that Jackie Robinson faced on a daily basis as the first African-American player in Major League Baseball.
B+
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
 

A stirring, straightforward and ultimately soaring portrayal of Robinson's historic entry into Major League Baseball in 1947.

B
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
 

Robinson's story had so much drama in real life, and his sacrifice and pain made such a lasting influence, that "42" ends up being effective in its gee-whiz way almost in spite of itself.

B

NPR
Bob Mondello

Shameless, sure. But effective

New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier

 It's a sports film nonsports fans can love; it's a family film that never preaches; it's a biopic that also takes in the world and people around its subject.

OBLIVION (PG-13)

Friday & Sunday   May 24 & 26 (7 pm)

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday   May 28, 29 & 30  (5 pm)

Oblivion

Action, Adventure, Science Fiction and Fantasy. 2 hr 5 min. Tom Cruise stars in Oblivion, an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the visionary director of TRON: Legacy and producers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one man's confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind. 2077: Jack Harper (Cruise) serves as a security repairmen stationed on an evacuated Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying alien threat who still scavenges what's left of our planet, Jack's mission is almost complete. In a matter of two weeks, he will join the remaining survivors on a lunar colony far from the war-torn world he has long called home. Living in and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, Jack's soaring existence is brought crashing down after he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Drawn to Jack through a connection that transcends logic, her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he thought he knew. With a reality that is shattered as he discovers shocking truths that connect him to Earth of the past, Jack will be pushed to a heroism he didn't know he contained within. The fate of humanity now rests solely in the hands of a man who believed our world was soon to be lost forever.

Tom Long

 
 Kosinski offers plenty of action here, and he lets the plot reveals bleed out slowly (explanations keep coming right to the end). Yes, a great deal is derivative, but it's fast-moving derivative.

Los Angeles TImes
Kenneth Turan

More adventurous than your typical Hollywood tent pole, "Oblivion" makes you remember why science fiction movies pulled you in way back when and didn't let you go.
B+
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
  If you're able to forgive and forget, Oblivion isn't a bad place to start loving Tom Cruise all over again.

USA Today
Claudia Puig

 Director Joseph Kosinski focuses on cool visuals but stints on a compelling plot. It's a dazzler, but the story lacks the impact of the futuristic look.
C

Scott Tobias

Kosinski's personal commitment to gorgeous artifice above all other considerations only harms the film so much.

Friday &  Sunday   May 31 & June 2nd (5 pm)

   The Place Beyond The Pines

Drama. 2 hr 20 min.  The highly anticipated new drama from director Derek Cianfrance ("Blue Valentine") powerfully explores the consequences of motorcycle rider Luke's (Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling) fateful decision to commit a crime to support his child. The incident renders him targeted by policeman Avery (Golden Globe Award nominee Bradley Cooper), and the two men become locked on a tense collision course which will have a devastating impact on both of their families in the years following.

Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey

 The movie is intimate in its telling, sweeping in its issues and stumbles only occasionally.
A-
USA Today
Claudia Puig
 It's one of the best and most ambitious films of the year.
A-
New York Times
A.O. Scott
 If, in the end, the film can't quite sustain its epic vision, it does, along the way, achieve the density and momentum of a good novel.

B

Philadelphia Enquirer
Stephen Rea

 This is a story about legacy, the sins of the father, the restlessness in our souls. It's powerful, it's bold, it hits you hard.

ReelViews
James Berardinelli

 Although The Place Beyond the Pines is not an unqualified success, when Cianfrance stumbles, it's because he's reaching for greatness ...
