PUCCINI FOR BEGINNERS
Gretchen Mol ("The Notorious Bettie Paige"), Elizabeth Reaser ("Sweet Land") and Justin Kirk star in this sophisticated, humorous screwball sex comedy, nominated for a Grand Jury prize at Sundance, which takes its title from its heroine's passion for opera. It isn't just another trendy toe-dip in sexual experimentation. It is, according to The Hollywood Reporter, "a Brainy and Balmy" romp through the 20/30-something world of sensual exploration that runs through millions of love lives like a jolt of thunder and a bolt of lightning." Unrated. 92 min.

THE ASTRONAUT FARMER
Academy Award winner Billy Bob Thornton and Oscar nominee Virginia Madsen star in this wonderful film about Charles Farmer and the pursuit of his one goal in life: to be an astronaut even if it means overcoming the most seemingly insurmountable odds on the eve of the long-anticipated launch of his barn-built rocket.
