The Greatest
Showman
Friday, April 13, 7pm
Director: Michael Gracey
Writers: Jenny Bicks, Bill Condon
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams,
Zac Efron
Orphaned, penniless but ambitious and with
a mind crammed with imagination and fresh
ideas, the American Phineas Taylor Barnum
will always be remembered as the man with the
gift to effortlessly blur the line between reality
and fiction. Thirsty for innovation and hungry
for success, the son of a tailor will manage to
open a wax museum but will soon shift focus to the unique and peculiar,
introducing extraordinary, never-seen-before live acts on the circus stage.
Some will call Barnum’s wide collection of oddities, a freak show; however,
when the obsessed showman gambles everything on the opera singer Jenny
Lind to appeal to a high-brow audience, he will somehow lose sight of the
most important aspect of his life: his family. Will Barnum risk it all to be
accepted? imdb.com Rated PG
“A wholesomely enraptured musical about the life of P.T. Barnum turns
out to be a crowd-pleaser in the best sense: It’s a concoction that soars…
Jackman plays Barnum with a rapacious grin, his eyes twinkling with moonstruck
pleasure. The director, Michael Gracey, is an Australian maker of
commercials who has never directed a feature before, and he works with an
exuberant sincerity that can’t be faked.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

The Post
Friday, April 27, 7pm
Director: Steven Spielberg
Writers: Liz Hannah, Josh Singer
Cast: Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Sarah
Paulson
Leaked to the New York Times by the
American military analyst, Daniel Ellsberg, the
Pentagon Papers—the top-secret study about
the United States involvement in the Vietnam
War and the decades of cover-ups—stir up a
nationwide controversy in 1971. As the Nixon
administration and the former Secretary of
Defence, Robert McNamara, try to silence
the shocking revelations, the Times’ rival, the
Washington Post, and its owner, Kay Graham, wrestle with the amplitude of
a devastating decision. Should Graham publish and let the truth shine on the
nearly 60,000 lost-in-action Americans? Should she put in jeopardy not only
her status but also her paper? imdb.com Rated PG-13
“The two central figures of this story are Kay Graham (Meryl Streep), the
beleaguered publisher of the Post…and Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) the editor
of the Post, and the man who never questions whether or not they should
publish. In casting alone, Spielberg makes clear his opinion of Graham and
Bradlee, filling their shoes with two of the most beloved actors of all time.
And they both deliver for their director, particularly Streep, who hasn’t given
a performance this nuanced in a very long time… Hanks finds the right
degree of gravity for Bradlee as well.” – Brian Tallerico, rogerebert.com
