Thursday, October 5th - Croupier (8, 10, 12)
     A struggling novelist turned croupier mans roulette tables in search for inspiration for his writing and ends up entangled in a robbery scheme. Sound familiar? Well maybe it's because it's from Michael Hodges, the man who directed Flash Gordon. Yet it seems as though this is where the similarities end. You see, Croupier replaces the space battles, alien rulers, and world-saving with a story too complex to fit into a paragraph. With its fascinating, multi-layered plot, intelligent screenplay, and subtle-yet-undeniable tension building, Croupier is an engrossing, stylish thriller, and, for those who appreciate twists and turns, Croupier is never quite as straightforward as it seems - there's a nice little surprise at the end of the trail. Still not convinced? Ask yourself this: What would Jesus do? (oh heresy, you're my only... aaahhhh!!!)

Friday, October 6th - Road Trip (8, 10, 12)
      Road Trip is about four friends who embark a hilarious 1800 mile adventure to intercept an incriminating videotape, preventing some guy's long distance girlfriend from getting it. Unfortunately, the tape is a home video of him "getting it" with another girl. Let this be a lesson to all with long distance relationships - never capture your cheating ass on tape!!! Many have called Road Trip the best college comedy since Animal House. By the way, this film features Tom Green, the madness/anger-inducing Canadian funnyman as seen on MTV. Even if you hate him, he'll make you laugh your bum-bum off.

Saturday, October 7th - Titan A.E. (8, 10, 12)
     Titan A.E. is fast paced action sci-fi and more daring than any American animated flick to date. It's got action, alien chasing, loud music (no singing animal hoopla), and violence (it was almost PG-13). Matt Damon is Cale, the son of a scientist who must find the Titan - humanity's last hope - somewhere in deep space after aliens destroys the Earth

     OK, so the plot isn't as inspired as the visuals, but the movie is a heap of space alien vs. human fun, yahoody!!!! Titan also features the voice talents of Drew Barrymore (who has alien-experience from E.T.) and Bill Pullman (who has already saved the Earth in Independence Day). It's the closest thing to an American anime-like feature that we'll ever get, so don't miss it!

Sunday, October 8th - UHF (8, 10, 12)
      A movie written by none other than Weird Al Yankovic, who commented that "[the plot] was just an excuse to be goofy." George Newman is a daydreaming slacker who acquires control of a TV station and must save it from bankruptcy through airing his own special shows like "Connan the Librarian" and "Ghandi II (this time it's personal)". Also see a pre-Kramer Michael Richards as crazy as ever! It's TV as it was meant to be seen... in a movie theater of course.
