LAST CHRISTMAS **Plays for 2 weeks** Kate works as an elf at a year-round Christmas store, despite the beautiful displays of cheer around her, the bad decisions she's made in her life tend to leave her glum. One day she bumps into Tom, a happy-go-lucky guy who seems almost too good to be true. Despite being complete opposites, the two find themselves attracted to what makes them different. For the first time in a long while, Christmastime becomes one of joy for Kate. Written by and co-starring Emma Thompson, Last Christmas stars the always charming Emilia Clarke and breakout star from Crazy Rich Asians, Henry Golding. It’s a holiday, feel-good romantic comedy that will make you both laugh and tear up a little. Rated PG (coarse lang) 1hr45

WESTERN STARS **One week only** Western Stars offers viewers the opportunity to see Bruce Springsteen perform, backed up by a band and a full orchestra, under the cathedral ceiling of his historic nearly 100-year-old barn. Springsteen's first studio album in five years, the documentary film showcases Springsteen’s charisma, wit, thoughtfulness and vulnerability and effortlessly weaves archival footage and his personal narration with song to tell the story. A captivating cinematic musical experience that’s achingly beautiful, tender, and personal, with strains of regret and hope. Rated G 1hr30

OFFICIAL SECRETS **Back by popular demand & positive response** Based on true events. One day in 2003, in the lead up to the Iraq War, Katharine Gun, a British intelligence specialist, receives a memo from the NSA with a shocking directive: the US is enlisting Britain's help in collecting compromising information on the UN Security Council in order to blackmail them into voting in favor of an invasion of Iraq. Unable to stand by, Gun makes the gut-wrenching decision to defy her government and leak the memo to the press. So begins an explosive chain of events that will ignite an international firestorm and put Gun and her family directly in harm's way. Timely, gripping, and thought-provoking, Official Secrets deftly explores the morally complexity of heroism and features outstanding performances from Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes. Rated PG (coarse lang.) 1hr55

LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE **Back by popular demand & positive response** Linda Ronstadt is one of the most successful recording artists of the 20th century. At the height of unprecedented success, Ronstadt, a restless and adventurous artist, turned away from pop music to explore an astonishing variety of musical styles, from American standards to country to classical operetta to traditional Mexican canciones. Today Ronstadt has lost her magnificent singing voice to Parkinson's disease. But rather than letting that voice be lost to history, Linda through her own words and music, and by the likes of Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and more, are telling her story. A deeply moving documentary as well as a well-deserved celebration of a musical artist who can literally sing anything and knock your socks off. Rated PG (coarse lang & drug use) 1hr35

THE GOOD LIAR **Plays for 2 weeks** Now in his eighties, career con artist Roy Courtnay wants to pull off one more con, with a windfall comfortable enough to retire on. He can hardly believe his luck when he meets wealthy widow Betty McLeish on an internet dating site. Betty readily opens her home and life to him, but their relationship becomes more complicated than Roy could have ever anticipated. Legendary actors Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen are in top form in this entertaining, compelling Hitchcock-like thriller about the secrets people keep and the lies they live. Rated 14A (sexual violence involving minors) 1hr50
