The weekend of the 18th of January we are happy to be presenting National Treasure: Book of Secrets.

Nicolas Cage is back as Ben Gates in his second National Treasure movie.

While Ben is presenting new information about the diary of John Wilkes Booth, one man stands up and presents a missing page of Booth's diary that implicates Ben's great-grandfather as a conspirator in the assassination of President Lincoln.

A quest to clear his grandfather's name takes Ben, his family, and his friends to Buckingham Palace (where they break in), the White House (where they also break in), and Mount Rushmore. Ben goes so far as to kidnap the President to learn more about the President's secret book, which is believed to hold the keys to many of the mysteries of U.S. history.

Can Ben clear his family's name? Or will they be known as descendants of one of the men who conspired to murder Abraham Lincoln?

The weekend of the 11th of January we are happy to be bringing you August Rush, starring Freddie Highmore and Robin Williams.

Evan is a musical prodigy. He is also an orphan who has been raised in a boys' home. At the age of 11 he begins a crusade to find his parents, believing he can communicate with them through his music. He makes his way to New York City where he encounters Wizard. Wizard tries to capitalize on Evan's talent. He give him the name August Rush and begins showcasing him all over the city. Evan never gives up on his hope of finding his parents, believing the bond of music will bring them together.

To bring in the new year we are happy to be presenting a version of the classic tale of Beowulf.

It is 507 A.D. King Hrothgar, played by Anthony Hopkins, and his people are being terrorized by the monster Grendel. Hrothgar puts out a call for a brave man to slay the monster. After some months, Beowulf, played by Ray Winstone, responds with his band of soldiers. Beowulf kills Grendel, but then, rather than killing Grendel's mother, played by Angelina Jolie, he has a tryst with her. A new curse is laid upon the land, a curse he must someday face.

Beowulf is directed by Robert Zemeckis, who also worked on Polar Express. He uses some of the performance capture techniques that he used in that film to create realistic animation scenes. The film is graphic, and not suitable for young children.

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you! We had a wonderful holiday with our family and hope you did, too.

This is a reminder that we will be holding Enchanted over through New Year's Day.

In Enchanted we find out what happens when the world of fairy tales, complete with princesses, princes, evil stepmothers, and helpful wildlife meets the world of today, New York City to be exact.

The beautiful princess Giselle meets and falls in love with Edward, the prince of her dreams. Upset by the romance because she sees it as a threat to her crown, the prince's evil step-mother uses her magic to have Giselle thrown from the enchanted world of the fairy tale into modern New York. Giselle has to survive our world with its apparent lack of "happily ever after" and make her way home again to her true love.

As usual at this time of the year, we are running extended hours with shows Wednesday evening and Thursday evening in addition to our normal weekend hours. Take advantage of the school break and come in to enjoy some fun, the family, and enchantment.

Our Christmas movie this year is Enchanted.

We all know and love the fairy tales that the Disney imagineers have done such wonderful work with. But what happens when the world of fairy tales meets the world of today? We find out in Enchanted.

The beautiful princess Giselle meets and falls in love with Edward, the prince of her dreams. Upset by the romance because she sees it as a threat to her crown, the prince's evil step-mother uses her magic to have Giselle thrown from the enchanted world of the fairy tale into modern New York.
