“With their overtly comedic follow-up BURN AFTER READING, the Coen Brothers return--about a third of the way--from the dark, dank recesses of the human psyche they traversed in their Oscarwinning NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. For those unfamiliar with the landscape of modern movie psychoanalysis, this puts the fraternal filmmakers square in the cruel, misanthropic, and farcical realm of their 1990s-era body of work, somewhere between the tragicomic crime thriller of FARGO and the disconnected noir-homage anti-storytelling of THE BIG LEBOWSKI” - RottenTomatoes.com “... the Marx Brothers couldn't outrace the Coen boys when it comes to zany comic shenanigans.” - Larry Ratliff, San Antonio Express-News

GHOST TOWN

Fri & Sat: 5:10, 7:15, 9:25 Sun: 5:10, 7:15 Mon: 7:15 PM Directed by David Koepp - 102 mins. - Rated PG-13

Wed: (7:15 PM)

EXTRAS and THE OFFICE star Ricky Gervais brings his trademark wit to this comedy. The British actor stars as a man who dies for seven minutes, but his awakening brings more than just a newfound appreciation for life: he can now see ghosts. Co-stars Tea Leoni and Greg Kinnear. “Ricky Gervais' consistently sharp performance and beautifully dry execution transform this otherwise mainstream comedy into an endearing, funny, and altogether snappy romantic comedy. With ghosts. Rated 86% positive reviews on the Fresh Meter.” - Rottentomatoes.com

Vicky (Rebecca Hall) is straight-laced and about to be married. Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) is a sexually adventurous free spirit. When they all become amorously entangled, the results are both hilarious and harrowing. ★★★ -Roger Ebert “Woody Allen's 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona”... is one of Allen's most finely crafted films.” -ReelTalk Movie Reviews
