Happy Holidays to all! We have a couple of great movies lined up for your holiday viewing. Join us Christmas Eve for the opening of “House of Gucci” with Lady Gaga and Adam Driver in a wildly entertaining story about the Italian designer’s family - lots of high fashion and high drama, with a little murder thrown in for good measure! We are closed on Christmas Day to allow our staff to be with their families. Make us your celebration site for New Year’s Eve ... we’ll be open both Friday and Saturday nights with the all-new “West Side Story” (PG-13). Come join the fun! We’re here for you over the holidays.

“Julia” – (PG-13; 1 hour, 35 minutes) - Julia Child, the legendary cookbook author and television superstar changed the way Americans think about food, television, and even about women. Directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen (RBG) use never-before-seen archival footage, personal photos, first-person narratives, and cutting-edge, mouth-watering food cinematography to trace Julia's surprising path, from her struggles to create and publish the revolutionary Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961) to her empowering story of a woman who found fame in her 50s as an unlikely television sensation. Last two shows at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 22 and Thursday, Dec. 23.

“House of Gucci” – (R: language, some violence; 2 hours, 37 minutes) - Inspired by the shocking true story of the family behind the Italian fashion empire. Awards have already started rolling in for Lady Gaga as the New York Film Critics Circle just named her Best Actress for 2021. Gaga plays opposite Adam Driver, the one-time heir to the Gucci fortune, with Al Pacino, Jared Leto and Jeremy Irons rounding out the Gucci family. Directed by Ridley Scott. Plays at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 24; (Closed Christmas Day), Sunday, Dec. 26, 2 p.m.; Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2 and 7 p.m., and Thursday, Dec. 30, 7 p.m.

"Gaga's performance in House of Gucci is both tremendous fun and ultimately touching ... wonderful because she's alive to every moment." — Time Magazine

“West Side Story” – (PG-13; 2 hours 36 minutes) - Director Steven Spielberg has joined with writer Tony Kushner (“Angels in America”) to produce a new script, keeping all the familiar songs (music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by the late Stephen Sondheim) but setting the 1957 Broadway musical in a more realistic Puerto Rican neighborhood of New York City. Ansel Elgort and Rachel Ziegler star as Tony and Maria, the fated young teenagers who fall in love despite their different ethnic backgrounds, causing heartbreak among their families and violence in the streets of a once-peaceful neighborhood. Rita Moreno (who played Anita in the 1957 version on Broadway), now 88, plays Valentina, a new role created for her by Kushner. See it at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 31; Saturday, Jan. 1; Wednesday, Jan. 5; Thursday, Jan. 6; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 2.
