	EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE Coming Soon View Trailer Read the Pete Hammond Boxoffice Magazine Review 2011/US/PG-13/129 min Director: Stephen Daldry Cast: Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Thomas Horn, Max von Sydow, Viola Davis, John Goodman, Jeffrey Wright Based on the acclaimed novel of the same name, “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” tells the story of one young boy’s journey from heartbreaking loss to the healing power of self-discovery, set against the backdrop of the tragicevents of September 11. Eleven-year-old Oskar Schell is an exceptional child: amateur inventor, Francophile, pacifist. And after finding a mysterious key that belonged to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11, he embarks on an exceptional journey–an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. As Oskar roams the city, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity, who are all survivors in their own ways. Ultimately, Oskar’s journey ends where it began, but with the solace of that most human experience: love. Critics’ Choice Movie Awards Nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Young Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay. “An exceptionally heart-wrenching film. A life-affirming sensory experience.” - Jake Coyle, AP “The best movie of the year. Four stars. Extraordinary.” - Alynda Wheat, People Magazine “Exquisite. One of the best films of the year. … Director Stephen Daldry has taken great care in looking at it through the eyes of a precocious New York City boy in a film filled with both sentiment and substance.” - Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times “Emotionally potent. A crescendo of feeling. Thomas Horn gives an exceptional natural performance, entirely convincing and exhilarating to experience. Best of all, Max von Sydow is absolutely wonderful, with the great veteran actor clearly relishing this very unusual role.” - Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter “It’s an emotional powerhouse of a film, an unforgettable and rewarding motion picture experience.” - Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine “Director Stephen Daldry has fashioned an emotionally powerful cinematic testimony about that horrific late summer day.” - James Berardinelli, ReelViews View Trailer \| Buy Tickets \| Back to Calendar
	THE ARTIST Coming Soon View Trailer Read the Lou Lumenick Review 2011/France/PG-13/100 min Director: Michel Hazanavicius Cast: Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Penelope Ann Miller, Missi Pyle Hollywood 1927. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), it seems the sky’s the limit – major movie stardom awaits. THE ARTIST tells the story of their interlinked destinies. “In many ways – in all ways – ‘The Artist’ is a profound achievement.” - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle “It’s a picture that romances its audience into watching in a new way – by, paradoxically, asking us to watch in an old way. ‘The Artist’ is perhaps the most modern movie imaginable right now.” - Movieline “This is not a work of film history but rather a generous, touching and slightly daffy expression of unbridled movie love.” - A.O. Scott, The New York Times “With elements of ‘A Star Is Born’ and ‘Singing in the Rain,’ ‘The Artist’ is a rarity, an ingenious crowd-pleaser.” - Liam Lacey, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) “The delighted gasps in the theater will make you glad you took a chance on The Artist. Silent black-and-white movies are not coming back, but this one is such a rewarding labor of love by all of the artists involved that it just might make you wish they could.” - Bob Mondello, NPR “Get ready for a smash hit. Gimmicky but delicious, this is a valentine to the movies I promise you will cherish.” - Rex Reed, New York Observer View Trailer \| Buy Tickets \| Back to Calendar

	THE ROOM Playing Friday, February 10 – Friday Night Flicks, Just $3 or 2 for 5 2003/USA/R/99 min Director: Tommy Wiseau Cast: Tommy Wiseau, Juliette Danielle, Greg Sestero and Philip Haldiman There’s something terrible coming to Friday Night Flicks at the State — the “Citizen Kane” of bad movies. Why are we showing this really, really bad movie about a man whose wife cheats on him? Three main reasons: 1) it’s a huge phenomenon in midnight movie film circles, selling out large theaters in New York, LA, Chicago and Seattle, and many of you have told us that you’d like to see what all the fuss is about; 2) it’s one of the worst movies ever made, and therefore, quite enjoyable, if you like that kind of thing; and 3) you get to throw plastic spoons during the film. Come see what all the fuss is about. Buy Tickets \| Back to Calendar
