ONCE
Winner of the Sundance Film Festival World Cinema Audience Award. Set in Ireland, this story of two street musicians who fall in love has the majesty and devotion of a musical dream while remaining a miracle of a movie that is both fairy tale and slice of life. "A magical, beguiling wonder" raved Rolling Stone's Peter Travers. The Los Angeles Times added: "The music is so rich and completely satisfying that we fall for each of these young people at the precise moment they are falling for each other, and what could be better than that?" 90 min. Rated R.

MOLIERE
"Romance, creativity, subterfuge and repartee are among the pleasures to be had in Molière" noted Variety about this period costume dramedy that has been favorably compared to the Academy Award winning SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE. Molière, not yet the writer that history recognizes as the father and true master of comic satire, accepts an offer to teach a nobleman the art of theater to save his bankrupt acting troupe. All goes well until Molière falls in love with the woman the nobleman is trying to impress. Starring Romain Duris, Edouard Baer, Laura Morante and Ludivine Sagnier. In French with English subtitles. 120 min. Rated PG-13.

TALK TO ME
Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle, described by Roger Ebert as "a one-man fireworks show", portrays the one and only funny, dramatic, inspiring Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr., a just-released convict who finds a job as a radio DJ in Washington, D.C. and uses vibrant soul music and exploding social consciousness to unique and powerful effect. Ebert also added "Talk to Me has a great subject and a great actor working in tandem, reminding audiences that once upon a time media personalities used to fight The Man, not be The Man." Also starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Taraji P. Henson, Cedric The Entertainer and Martin Sheen. 118 min. Rated R.
