(UK, 2010; 129 minutes)

Belleville Theatre Guild - SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER

Posted August 9, 1:24 PM

March 31 - April 16, 2011

Delighting audiences for over 200 years, Oliver Goldsmith's best-known play provides a raucous tale of mistaken identities, spirited hijinks, and a good dose of lighthearted romance. Charles Marlow, bashful around women of his own upper classyet quite frisky amongst the serving girls—is on his way to the Hardcastle household to court Kate, the daughter of a country squire. Hilarity ensues when Marlow and his friend Hastings mistake the home for an inn, the squire for the inn keeper, and Kate for a serving wench. When Kate realizes that her tongue-tied and nervous suitor needs a lesson in the art of love, she quickly transforms herself into the type of woman who can teach it.

Director David Henderson.

Box Office opens: March 28, 2011

Quinte Film Alternative - Soul Kitchen

Posted February 1, 4:24 PM

Wednesday February 2, 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm

 

 

 

 

 

(Greece and Hungary, 2009; 99 minutes)
German-Greek chef Zinos watches his girlfriend leave for a job in Shanghai, and finally gears up to sell his restaurant, Soul Kitchen, and follow her. Then Zinos disturbs the peace by hiring a chef too talented to warm up the gazpacho for the greasy spoon clientele. In the weeks before the closure of the sale, pure anarchy breaks out: the chef cooks what he's always wanted to cook, a new DJ gets the guests dancing after their meals, artists exhibit their work—and the guests like it. From acclaimed director Fatih Akin (born in Hamburg to Turkish parents), best known for the emotionally harrowing HEAD ON (2004) and the transcendent THE EDGE OF HEAVEN (2007).
