The Harbor Theatre
“Still Alice” features Julianne Moore at Alice Howland, a renowned linguistics professor. As she starts becoming lost on her daily jogs, she must come face-to-face with a devastating diagnosis: early-onset Alzheimer's disease. As the once-vibrant woman struggles to hang on to her sense of self for as long as possible, Alice's three grown children must watch helplessly as their mother disappears more and more with each passing day.
“Still Alice” stars Moore, winner of the “Best Actress” Academy Award for her performance in this role, along with Alec Baldwin, Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth and Hunter Parrish. It's rated PG-13 and plays Wednesday, March 4 and Thursday, March 5 at 7 p.m.
“Unbroken” is based on Laura Hillenbrand's 2010 book, “Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.” With Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie directing and producing the film, Zamperini's unbelievable and inspiring true story about the resilient power of the human spirit has been brought to the big screen.
“Unbroken” is an epic drama that follows the incredible life of Olympian and war hero Louis "Louie" Zamperini (Jack O'Connell) who, along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII, only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp. Director Jolie shot some of the most dramatic and challenging scenes on location far out at sea in Moreton Bay, Australia, with Zamperini (O'Connell) and his fellow airmen, Phil (Domhnall Gleeson) and Mac (Finn Wittrock).
Starring alongside O'Connell, Gleeson and Wittrock are Garrett Hedlund and John Magaro as fellow POWs who find an unexpected camaraderie during their internment, Alex Russell as Zamperini's brother, Pete, and in his English-language feature debut, Japanese actor Miyavi as the brutal camp guard known only to the men as "The Bird."
“Unbroken,” rated PG-13, plays Friday, March 6, Saturday, March 7, Wednesday, March 11 and Thursday, March 12 at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, March 8 at 2 p.m.
