Starring Ben Stiller. Jack Black. & Robert Downey Jr. star as a trio of actors whose filming experience in southeast Asia gets a little too real as they must become as tough as the characters they play to get out of a crisis.

PLAYING IN OUR HD DIGITAL CINEMA THIS WEEK: A MAN NAMED PEARL (G) Fri - Sun: 3:15,!7:05 Mon - Thu: 7:05 PM

A Man Named Pearl tells the inspiring stor y of self-taught topiary artist Pearl Fryar. It is a subtle and intriguing film that is certain to open hearts and minds. It offers an upbeat message that speaks to respect for both self and others, and shows what one person can achieve when he allows himself to share the full expression of his humanity.

MR. WINNIPEG (NR) Fri - Thu: 5:05,!9:00

Cult director Guy Maddin (THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD) revisits his boyhood in Winnipeg, casting 1940s femme fatale Ann Savage in the role of his mother. The reality-bending doesn't end there. Creative interpretations of local lore, reenactments of childhood traumas, and a quasi-documentary style make MY WINNIPEG a surreal reinvention of childhood.
