The Wind That Shakes the Barley
7:30 10 12:30
If you’re in the mood for a touching movie or have a thing for Irish accents, The Wind That Shakes the Barley has it all. Set in Ireland during the 1920s, the film follows two brothers while also depicting the struggle between Britain and Ireland. Though it didn’t do too well in the U.S., the movie gives a great look into the atrocities commited by the Black and Tan Squad and is well done overall. Plus, it has Cillian Murphy in it.

Ocean’s 13 7:30 10 12:30
Though it’s not the best of the Ocean’s trilogy, that doesn’t mean Ocean’s 13 isn’t worth seeing. True, Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones didn’t return, and it’s not the usual type of heist the group tries to pull off, but it’s still got Clooney and Pitt, along with a hilarious performance by Matt Damon. In Ocean’s 13, Clooney and his 12 accomplices seek revenge on a Las Vegas casino mogul when Reuben Elliott Gould falls ill, and if you can bear to sit through the first half of the film where the entire plot is explained, it turns out well in the end.

Blades of Glory 8:15 10 11:45
Anchorman and Jon Heder Napoleon Dynamite hit the ice in this comedy. Banned from men’s singles in figure skating for fighting on the awards platform, Jon Heder and Will Ferrell team up to enter doubles and take the gold. The film features plenty of SNL cast members, and even more Ferrell-style comedy, so if Will Ferrell doesn’t suit you, don’t come. However, if you even remotely liked Talladega Nights or Anchorman, you’ll have a good time.

The Warriors 8 10 12
During my high school graduation, my school’s superintendent made the observation that there were 60,000 gang members in the county and most of them were students like us. If you feel the need to join those 60,000 gang members, you may be interested in The Warriors. It follows a gang (called the Warriors) framed for the murder of a man who was trying to unite all the gangs of New York. The gang tries to get back to home turf, but the city is after them.
