Upcoming Cinematique Films
July 6-8, 2009TysonDirector James Toback takes an unflinching, uncompromising look at the life of Mike Tyson, almost solely from the perspective of the man himself. TYSON alternates between the controversial boxer addressing the camera and shots of the champion's fights to create an arresting picture of the man. “Gripping and enthralling.” (Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times) 90 minutes. Rated R for language including sexual references. July 13-15, 2009Easy VirtueThe twenties have roared the thirties have yet to swing. John Whittaker, a young Englishman, falls madly in love with Larita (Jessica Biel,) a sexy and glamorous American woman, and they marry impetuously. However when the couple returns to the family home, his mother Mrs. Whittaker (played with perfect haughtiness by Kristen Scott Thomas) has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law. Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law. Larita quickly realizes Mrs. Whittaker's game and sees that she must fight back if shes not going to lose John. A battle of wits ensues and sparks soon fly. Mrs. Whittaker manipulates every situation to undermine her, while Larita remains frustratingly calm and engineers sassy counter attacks. Based on a Noel Coward play, EASY VIRTUE also stars Colin Firth in an unforgettable turn as Mr. Whittaker. 97 minutes. Rated PG-13 for sexual content, brief partial nudity, and smoking throughout. July 20-22, 2009Food, Inc.In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that’s been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. Food, Inc. reveals surprising — and often shocking truths — about what we eat, how it’s produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here. 94 minutes. Rated PG for some thematic material and disturbing images.
