THE GREAT BUCK HOWARD
Starring John Malkovich, Colin Hanks, Tom Hanks
Comedy, In English
Starts April 10
John Malkovich stars as a hilariously self-absorbed Amazing Kreskin-like magician, The Great Buck Howard, whose days of fame and national TV appearances are behind him. When he takes on a new assistant, a law school drop-out played by Colin Hanks, life for both takes an unbelievable turn. Laugh-out-loud funny with a great supporting cast: Tom Hanks, Emily Blunt, Steve Zahn and more.
"When an actor like Malkovich finds the perfect role, a rare sort of magic happens. And you can find it onscreen right now, in The Great Buck Howard."
-Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

TWO NIGHTS ONLY:
FANBOYS
Starring Dan Fogler, Kristen Bell, Seth Rogen and more.
Comedy, In English
April 10 & 11
Star Wars zealots, rejoice, for thy movie is at hand: an odyssey across America with a van full of hardcore science-fiction-loving geeks that drop Star Wars quotes at the drop of a vintage collector's-item Darth Vader helmet. Based on the true story of a group of young men who devise a scheme to steal a pre-release copy of Star Wars: Episode 1 from George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch, the film is outrageously packed with cameos ranging from William Shatner to Kevin Smith.
