Feb 9 - Feb 15 | Oscars? We've got your back

FILMS SHOWING Friday February 9 to Thursday February 15

We sell advance tickets online for all our films!

No other cinema in town has more Best Picture Oscar nominees than we do. Why, you ask? The answer is because no other cinema in town PREMIERED more Best Picture nominees than the Princess. We're kind of proud of that fact, which is why we're your one stop shop for Oscar nominee-viewing. If you really want to step up your game, then don't miss the 2018 Oscar Nominated Animated Short Films, which start at the Original this Friday. This weekend, you also have another chance to catch the stunning Loving Vincent, Oscar-nominated for Best Animated Feature.

The thing is, not all great movies get Oscar nominations (don't we know it: we show great movies all year long). One movie that mightily impressed us at this year's TIFF was Hostiles. It's been sadly overlooked this season, but we really think it's worth your time. It plays for only three days this weekend. Finally, a heads up that our Daniel Day-Lewis retrospective starts on Valentine's Day with the heady and oh-so sensual The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Take your honey (and if you don't have one, take yourself. You deserve it, love!)

Hostiles

14A

"Clearly influenced by classic Westerns, particularly the films of director John Ford, 'Hostiles' is a worthy addition to the genre." - St. Louis Post Dispatch

Writer-director Scott Cooper’s first stab at the Western is Hostiles, a harsh, slow-burning frontier epic with muscle and heart. Along with his co-writer Donald Stewart, Cooper finds fresh, undeniable relevance in late-19th-century horrors of white men’s unforgivable sins against the Indigenous people of America.

Loving Vincent

"Visually, it’s spectacular. Conceptually, it’s jaw-dropping to simply consider the effort that went into this.... LOVING VINCENT is itself an imaginative work of art. And what better way than that to honor its subject?” – Washington Post

Oscar-nominated: Best Animated Feature “Loving Vincent is a truly awe-inspiring portrait of the great Dutch artist that boasts the distinction of being “the world’s first fully painted feature film.” That means every one of the nearly 65,000 frames in this labor of love was rendered by hand with oil paints, following a style intended t

"Words and cards are dealt in equal hand with Aaron Sorkin's poker drama, featuring Jessica Chastain at the center of a compelling film about fame, power and empathy." - USA Today

Oscar-nominated: Best Adapted Screenplay “Aaron Sorkin’s distinct verbal cadences have been so recognizable in a zillion movies and TV shows, it’s strange to think that he’s never directed any of them himself. Rise-and-fall poker tale Molly’s Game finally changes that.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - Feb 14 - CINE BABIES

When the Ebbing, Missouri Police Department is unable to solve her daughter Angela's murder, tough-as-nails Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) decides to make a bold move. She rents three billboards leading into the town and paints controversial messages on them pointing a finger at police chief William Willoughby (Woody Harrelson) ineptness.

The billboards seem to get under the skin of several of the town's residents, but Mildred is plenty capable of taking them on. When the chief's second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell), an immature mother’s boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing's law enforcement is only exacerbated.

Legend of Sing Hey
