 "Every
bit as exciting as any live-action pic this summer." -
Variety
The sub-zero heroes from the worldwide blockbusters Ice
Age and Ice Age: The Meltdown
are back, on an incredible adventure...for the ages. Scrat
is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while, maybe,
finding true love); Manny (Ray Romano)
and Ellie (Queen Latifah) await the birth
of their mini-mammoth, Sid (John Leguizamo)
the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift
family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs; and Diego (Denis
Leary) the saber-toothed tiger wonders if he's
growing too "soft" hanging with his pals. On a mission to
rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious
underground world, where they have some close encounters
with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna run amuck - and meet
a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck.

paints a picture of the romance between young Chéri
(Rupert Friend) and retired courtesan Léa

 In one of his most memorable roles, Steve McQueen
stars as Detective Frank Bullitt, a hard-driving, tough-as-nails
San Francisco cop. Bullitt has just received what sounds like
a routine assignment: keep a star witness out of sight and
out of danger for 48 hours, then deliver him to the courtroom
on Monday morning. But before the night is out, the witness
will lie dying of shotgun wounds, and Bullitt, a no-glitter,
all-guts cop, won't rest until he nabs the gunmen and the
elusive underworld kingpin who hired them. The edge-of-the
seat thriller's most memorable scene is the celebrated car
chase, in which McQueen, an expert automobile and motorcycle
racer, does his own stunt driving - at speeds up
to 115 miles an hour! 1968. 114 minutes. Rated PG.

a sensual chorus girl whose uncontainable sexual power literally
destroys every man with whom she has an affair, until she

 "One of the scariest movies of the year ... an informative, often infuriating activist documentary." - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil
on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized
underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer
with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies,
USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled
by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead
of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer,
the safety of workers and our own environment. Food,
Inc. reveals surprising - and often shocking - truths
about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become
as a nation and where we are going from here.

tramps come to rob the place blind. The bad guys are a smooth
talking thief (Cyril Ring) and his girl
(Kay Francis). Harpo plays his harp, Chico
plays the piano, Groucho plays with Margaret Dumont, and
there's plenty of flapper-filled musical dance numbers.

family, living on the streets of Paris and committing petty
crimes. Things only go downhill for Antoine, descending
to a simultaneously painful and beautiful conclusion. 1959.

The film stars John Wayne as a case-hardened
Civil War veteran who returns home and encounters more conflict.
The film also stars Jeffrey Hunter and a
young Natalie Wood. In his epic meditation
on racism, obsession, paranoia, and the myth of the West,
Ford explores the ugly underside of a genre that he had imbued
with optimism in his early career. 1956. 119 minutes. Rated PG.

 BEST PICTURE! BEST ACTOR! BEST SCREENPLAY! Based on the best-selling novel by Mario Puzo (who co-wrote the screenplay with director Francis Ford Coppola), THE GODFATHER tells an epic tale of Mafia life in America during the 1940s and 1950s. Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) is the family patriarch balancing a love of his family with an ambitious criminal instinct. At the wedding of the Don's daughter Connie (Talia Shire), youngest son Michael (Al Pacino) is reunited with his family. A subsequent assassination attempt leaves the Don too ill to run the family business, forcing Michael and Sonny (James Caan), with the help of consigliere Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), to lead the Corleones into a vendetta-filled war with other mob families. Featuring truly unforgettable performances, including the Best Actor-winning Brando, the riveting Pacino, and an unexpectedly dramatic Diane Keaton, THE GODFATHER is the pinnacle of Hollywood cinema in the 1970s. 1972. 175 minutes. Rated R.

Four-time Grammy Award-winner Tracy Chapman helped restore singer/songwriters
to the spotlight in the '80s. The multi-platinum success
of Chapman's eponymous 1988 debut was unexpected, and it
had lasting impact. Although Chapman was working from the
same confessional singer/songwriter foundation that had
been popularized in the '70s, her songs were fresh and powerful,
driven by simple melodies and affecting lyrics. On Sing
For You, the upbeat opening track of Our
Bright Future, Tracy Chapman - now marking
her 20th year as a recording artist - briefly yet fondly
looks back at the way music has shaped her life. One thing
is still the same - the graceful way in which she melds
simple, small-band arrangements with powerful universal
emotions. Don't miss Tracy Chapman performing for one night
only at the Michigan Theater!

 A HARD DAY'S
NIGHT, nominated for two Academy Awards and featuring the
Beatles in their feature film debut, is one of
the greatest rock-and-roll comedy adventures ever. The year
is 1964 and four young lads from Liverpool are about to
change the world - if only the madcap world will let them
out of their hotel room. Richard Lester's
boldly contemporary rock n' roll comedy unleashes the fledgling
Beatles into a maelstrom of screaming fans, paranoid producers,
rabid press and troublesome family members. Throughout it
all, witty one-liners, classic pop songs and world-class
charm build up to happy-go-lucky moments of liberation that
capture the sheer exuberance, innocence and rock n' roll
spirit of four young men trying to make their own rules
in a world determined to confine them. 1964. 87 minutes.
Rated PG. Advance tickets available at ticketweb.com.

As songwriters and performers, Ashford & Simpson have
long ranked among the most acclaimed and admired creative
couples in contemporary music. Originally hailing from Detroit,
Nickolas Ashford met Bronx native Valerie
Simpson in New York and an amazing song-writing
partnership began. The pair penned the Ray Charles classic,
Let's Go Get Stoned, and the Marvin
Gaye/Tammi Terrell hits Ain't No Mountain High
Enough, Ain't Nothing Like the
Real Thing, and You're All I Need
to Get By. The duo turned to performing in
1970s and 80s, yielding such unforgettable hits as Send
It, Don't Cost You Nothin', It Seems to Hang On, Love Don't
Make it Right, Is It Still Good to Ya and
Found a Cure. The hitmaking continued with
Solid, which topped the r&b
and pop charts. Ashford & Simpson are currently hotter
than ever. A two-week stint at New York's elegant Feinstein's
at the Regency in 2006 was so successful that they were
brought back for three weeks in 2007, garnering some of
the best notices of their career. "Singles, doubles,
gays, straights, blacks, whites, all mixed together and
singing along," concluded the New York Times'
Stephen Holden in his rave review, "Ashford and Simpson
turn diversity into unanimity."

 CITIZEN KANE is Orson Welles's greatest achievement--and a landmark of cinema history. The story charts the rise and fall of a newspaper publisher whose wealth and power ultimately isolates him in his castle-like refuge. The film's protagonist, Charles Foster Kane, was based on a composite of Howard Hughes and William Randolph Hearst--so much so that Hearst tried to have the film suppressed. Every moment of the film, every shot, has been choreographed to perfection. The film is essential viewing, quite possibly the greatest film ever made and, along with THE BIRTH OF A NATION, certainly the most influential. 1941. 144 minutes. Rated PG.

 Credited with inventing the genre of the modern horror film, PSYCHO has had its share of sequels and imitators, none of which diminishes the achievement of this shocking and complex horror thriller. Alfred Hitchcock's choreography of elements in PSYCHO is considered so perfect it inspired a shot-by-shot remake by Gus Van Zant in 1998. However, Hitchcock's black-and-white original, featuring Anthony Perkins's haunting characterization of lonely motel keeper Norman Bates, has never been equaled. Bates presides over an out-of-the-way motel under the domineering specter of his mother. The young, well-intentioned Bates is introduced to the audience when Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), a blonde on the run with stolen money, checks in for the night. But Momma doesn't like loose women, so the stage is set for this classic tale of horror--and one of the most famous scenes in film history. 1960. 109 minutes. Rated R.
