This week at the Harbor Theatre
“The Hundred Foot Journey” plays Wednesday, Aug. 27 and Thursday, Aug. 28, followed by Woody Allen's “Magic In the Moonlight” and “Chef” this week at The Harbor Theatre.
“The Hundred Foot Journey,” rated PG and produced by Steven Speilberg and Ophra Winfrey, opened Friday, Aug. 22.
When Hassan Kadam and his family, led by Papa, move to a quaint village in the South of France with the grand plan of opening an Indian restaurant in the picturesque countryside, they are undeterred by the fact that only 100 feet opposite stands a Michelin starred classical French eatery. However upon encountering the icy proprietress, Madame Mallory, (played by Helen Mirren), the Kadam family realize they may have bitten off more than they can chew.
Outraged by the new arrivals, Madame Mallory is determined to have their business shut down. As cultures clash and food flies, an all-out war escalates between the two establishments — until, that is, Hassan's passion and talent for French cuisine begin to enchant Madame Mallory and even she can't deny this young chef could have what it takes to garner even more acclaim for her beloved restaurant.
Woody Allen's “Magic In the Moonlight” is a romantic comedy about a master magician (Colin Firth) trying to expose a psychic medium (Emma Stone) as a fake.
Set in the 1920s on the opulent Riviera in the south of France, Chinese conjuror Wei Ling Soo is the most celebrated magician of his age. Few realize he is the stage persona of Stanley Crawford (Colin Firth), a grouchy and arrogant Englishman with a sky-high opinion of himself and an aversion to phony spiritualists' claims.
Persuaded by his friend, Howard Burkan (Simon McBurney), Stanley goes on a mission to the Côte d'Azur mansion of the Catledge family: mother Grace (Jacki Weaver), son Brice (Hamish Linklater), and daughter Caroline (Erica Leerhsen). He presents himself as a businessman named Stanley Taplinger in order to debunk the alluring young clairvoyant Sophie Baker (Emma Stone).
"Magic In the Moonlight,” rated PG13, plays Friday, Aug. 29 through Tuesday, Sept. 2 evenings at 7 and Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.
On Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 3 and 4, at 7 p.m. “Chef” returns.
