Friday thru Thursday + 1:30 matinee Saturday & Sunday An Education
Best Picture Oscar-nominated coming-of-age drama set in post-war, pre-Beatles suburban London, starring Best Actress Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan as a bright schoolgirl and Peter Sarsgaard as a charismatic older man offering her an alternative to studying for Oxford. With Alfred Molina, Dominic Cooper, Rosamund Pike, Olivia Williams, Emma Thompson, Cara Seymour and Sally Hawkins. From Danish Italian For Beginners director Lone Scherfig, Oscar-nominated screenplay adapted by Nick Hornby from the memoir by Lynn Barber.
"This tale of an English schoolgirl's hard-won wisdom is thrilling -- for the radiance of Carey Mulligan's Jenny, who's wonderfully smart and perilously tender; for the grace of Lone Scherfig's direction, and the brilliance of Nick Hornby's screenplay."
"conceals a surprisingly tart, morally ambiguous center"
"Technical elements are among the best this year. Photography, editing, music, production design, and costumes all add seamless period flavor to the puritanical stew that was London almost a half-century ago."
"Through stellar performances, clever writing and exquisite cinematography, the story is fresh and thoroughly captivating."
"[Mulligan] makes the role luminous when it could have been sad or awkward. She has such lightness and grace, you're pretty sure this is the birth of a star."
"Played with enormous charm and genuine affability by Sarsgaard, David reminds us that seducers in real life are not as obvious as they often are on film"

Friday thru Thursday + 3:20 matinee Saturday & Sunday Cairo Time
in English and Arabic with English subtitles Winner at the Toronto International Film Festival for Best Canadian Feature, romantic drama starring Patricia Clarkson (Whatever Works, Good Night and Good Luck, The Station Agent) as a magazine editor who follows her Canadian diplomat husband to Cairo, where he's tied up with work but taps an old friend to show her around. With Alexander Siddiq (The Nativity Story, Syrianna, Kingdom of Heaven) and Tom McCamus (Shake Hands With The Devil, The Sweet Hereafter, I Love A Man In Uniform).
"a small, character-driven film about a love affair that's uninvited, unexpected and undeniable... a more sophisticated slice-of-life than one usually gets on the big screen -- and for fans of Clarkson, it's a must-see."
"The second effort by Toronto's Ruba Nadda is notable for its grace and sophistication. A variation on Lost in Translation and Before Sunrise except with middle-aged lovers in the Middle East... [a] slight but delicately rendered story"
"has many things going for it: exotic locations, gorgeous cinematography, Patricia Clarkson and a script that believes a middle-aged woman's inner life is compelling fodder for a feature-length film"
"has a slightly breathless, old-fashioned feel, calling to mind the cliched fiction found in the type of ladies' magazine the heroine edits... The good-looking cinematography, art direction and sound design capture the chaos of Cairo's congestion, noise and traffic, as well as the sensual quality of its distinct beauty; songs by Um Kalthoum and Abdel Halim Hafez deepen the exotic atmosphere."
"the immensely talented Clarkson is able to convey much inner turmoil with a single twitch of her eyes and breathless parting of her lips"

The Hollywood Theatre is located at 3123 West Broadway, in the heart of Vancouver's Kitsilano neighbourhood. The cross street is Balaclava. For those of you who know where the Kits restaurants are, we're in the same block as Elwood's, The Copper Tank, and the Fringe Cafe.
There is plenty of street parking in this busy neighbourhood shopping and dining area, but be aware that some of the side streets have restrictions (eg. residents only) -- be sure to read the signs. (And don't park in the passenger zone out front - you'll be ticketed and towed!)
Bus routes servicing this part of Broadway are the #9 (westbound goes to UBC or sometimes just Alma or Blanca, eastbound usually goes as far as Broadway Station or sometimes Boundary) and #17 (westbound goes to UBC, eastbound goes to Downtown.) There's a westbound stop just outside the Hollywood and eastbound the nearest stop is across the street on the east side of Balaclava. The speedy #99 B-line express bus stops 6 blocks west at Alma or 4 blocks east at MacDonald.
