CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD
BIG SCREEN PREMIERE!  "An incredibly emotional journey" enthused Deepak Chopra.  From the producer of "What Dreams May Come" comes this mystical and powerful movie based on the New York Times #1 Best Seller based on the life experiences of author Neale Donald Walsch who, at a low point in his life "asked God" some questions, the answers to which led to a dramatic journey from "down and out" to accidental spiritual messenger. Unrated. 92 min.

Four Paws Up!" barked Ebert & Roper.  Just kidding...but you will love Academy Award nominees Peter O'Toole and Samantha Morton in this stunning wide screen re-telling of the classic story about man's (and woman's) best friend. "Peter O'Toole is magisterial, blustering and sublime: His half-deaf duke still has a touch of Lawrence of Arabia's showstopping power" noted Slate Magazine.  100 min. Rated. PG.
