"The Man from U.N.C.L.E.": A fresh take on the popular 1960s television series stars Henry Cavill as Napoleon Solo opposite Armie Hammer as Illya Kuryakin in a film co-written and directed by Guy Ritchie.

Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s at the height of the Cold War, CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin are forced to put aside longstanding hostilities and team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo's only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, in a race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe. Also stars Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Jared Harris and Hugh Grant as Waverly.

“The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” plays Wednesday, Sept. 9 and Thursday. Sept. 10 at 7 p.m.

“Phoenix”: The official selection at The Toronto International Film Festival, is a spellbinding mystery of identity, illusion and deception that unfolds against the turmoil of post-World War II Germany in the stunning new film from acclaimed director Christian Petzold (Barbara Jerichow). Nelly (Nina Hoss), a German-Jewish nightclub singer, has survived a concentration camp, but with her face disfigured by a bullet wound.

After undergoing re-constructive surgery, Nelly emerges with a new face, one similar but different enough that her former husband, Johnny (Ronald Zehrfeld), doesn't recognize her. Rather than reveal herself, Nelly walks into a dangerous game of duplicity and disguise as she tries to figure out if the man she loves may have been the one who betrayed her to the Nazis.

Evoking the shadows and haunted mood of post-war Berlin, Phoenix weaves a complex tale of a nation's tragedy and a woman's search for answers as it builds towards an unforgettable, heart-stopping climax.
