Starts this Friday at the Twin! Oscar-winners Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain star in THE FORGIVEN.
"A wonderful film noir that feels like something straight out of the 1940s." - Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
The Forgiven takes place over a weekend in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and explores the reverberations of a random accident on the lives of both the local Muslims, and Western visitors to a house party in a grand villa.

Our Kaufman's Comedies series continues this week with BEING JOHN MALKOVICH.
A puppeteer discovers a portal that leads literally into the head of movie star John Malkovich.
"Fabulously funny and delightfully disturbed, 'Being John Malkovich' is the ultimate voyeur movie, a dark and at times malevolent take on what it's like to be in someone else's skull, looking out." - AP
"Devilishly inventive and so far out there it's almost off the scale." - Variety
July 13 & 14. See it on the big screen! [6]
Cracked Comedies continue with the hilarious comedy classic, AIRPLANE!
This spoof comedy takes shots at the slew of disaster movies that were released in the 1970s. When the passengers and crew of a jet are incapacitated due to food poisoning, a rogue pilot with a drinking problem must cooperate with his ex-girlfriend turned stewardess to bring the plane to a safe landing.
"A splendidly tacky, totally tasteless, gooney bird of a movie that looks as if it could never get off the ground and then surprises and delights with its free-spirited aerobatics." - Time Magazine
"More than a pleasant surprise... it's just what the doctor ordered." - New York Times

GIANT: New 4K Restoration
"Including a fine performance from Elizabeth Taylor, great acting from Rock Hudson and a piercing portrayal from James Dean. GIANT stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the great ones." - Hollywood Reporter
"An excellent film which registers strongly on all levels, whether it's in its breathtaking panoramic shots of the dusty Texas plains; the personal, dramatic impact of the story itself, or the resounding message it has to impart." - Variety, 2007
"If Texas had a state movie, then Giant would be it." - Austin Chronicle, 2003
