(imdb.com) Rated R Director: Tate Taylor Writers: Erin Cressida Wilson (screenplay), Paula Hawkins (novel) Cast: Emily Blunt, Haley Bennett, Rebecca Ferguson “’The Girl on the Train,’ an adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ prismatic but heavy-breathing 2015 bestseller, is at heart a murder mystery, yet in many ways that’s the film’s most routine aspect. Emily Blunt excels as the broken-down heroine…” ~ Owen Gleiberman, Variety 14 LEHAVRE COURIER | FEBRUARY 2017 | WWW.QNS.COM Special Presentation: The Lego Movie Part of the Kids’ Valentine’s Arts & Crafts Day Saturday, February 11, 1pm The LEGO Movie is a 3D animated film which follows lead character, Emmet a completely ordinary LEGO mini-figure who is identified as the most “extraordinary person” and the key to saving the Lego universe. Emmet and his friends go on an epic journey to stop the evil tyrant, Lord Business. (imdb.com) Rated PG Directors: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller Writers: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller Cast: Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks “It’s clear immediately that The Lego Movie isn’t looking to establish itself as just another big-budget, 3-D blockbuster, as the movie, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, boasts a creative and almost insanely off-thewall sensibility that separates it from most contemporary animated fare…it benefits substantially from a compulsively watchable first half that’s rife with stellar sequences and engaging performances. (Will Arnett’s often hilarious turn as Batman stands as an obvious highlight, while Liam Neeson delivers a typically sturdy performance as the movie’s villain.)” ~ David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews DON’T MISS MOVIE NIGHT AT THE CLUBHOUSE! Afternoon Movie Special: Suicide Squad Sunday, February 19, 3pm A secret government agency, led by the ruthless, high-ranking official Amanda Waller, recruits some of the most dangerous, incarcerated villains on the planet to execute dangerous black ops missions and save the world from a potentially apocalyptic threat from a mysterious, supernatural entity. If anything goes wrong on this mission, the government will not be liable but rather can place the blame on the villains, who are inherently evil people. A small bomb is implanted in each member of the squad’s neck with the capability of detonating any time one of the members tries to rebel or escape. It will be up to this assembled team of villains to prevail over the seemingly impossible events that will unfold before them, in what many deem to be a “suicide mission”. (imdb. com) Rated PG-13 Director: David Ayer Writer: David Ayer Cast: Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie “When discussing the high points of Suicide Squad, one doesn’t have to look beyond the arresting performances of Will Smith, who hasn’t been this buff since Ali, and Margot Robbie, whose work here and in ‘The Legend of Tarzan’ has elevated her to Hollywood’s A-list.” ~ James Berardinelli, Reel Views The Accountant Friday, February 24, 7pm Christian Wolff is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. With the Treasury Department’s Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King, starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-ofthe art robotics company where an accounting clerk has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise. (imdb.com) Rated R Director: Gavin O’Connor Writer: Bill Dubuque Cast: Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons “A thriller should be entertaining and smart, both of which The Accountant is…one of the joys of this film is to see Affleck show some acting chops; he may never be like Dustin Hoffman, but he’s memorably stoic here, a long way from J. Lo and Gigli.” ~ John DeSando, It’s Movie Time
