"Blue Moon" - ( R ; 1 hour 40 minutes) - Richard Linklater tells the story of legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart bravely facing the future as his professional and private life unravel. Confined almost entirely to a single location, "Blue Moon" unspools at Sardi’s, the legendary midtown New York restaurant, immediately following the opening of former partner Richard Rodgers’ Oklahoma! The date is March 31, 1943, and there’s a war on, although it’s a cold one between the former songwriting duo. Linklater captures the heart of the writer through one of the last nights in the life of Lorenz Hart (Ethan Hawke), once one of the most acclaimed Broadway songwriters on the scene - before fame and passion stopped returning his calls. He’s now the drunk at the end of the bar, the guy who gets there first and leaves last, and the one who can barely hide the pain behind his non-stop commentary on film, Broadway, and everything else around him. Working from a script by Robert Kaplow, Linklater has crafted one of his finest dramedies, a consistently fascinating exploration of the frailty of the artist, buoyed by one of Ethan Hawke’s most remarkable performances. Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Nov. 27, 7 p.m. Happy Thanksgiving!

"Linklater leaves us with a portrait of brilliance shadowed by fragility—a man, and perhaps an era, struggling to live once the music fades.” – Hector A. Gonzales, The Movie Buff

"Nuremberg" -  (PG-13; 2 hours 28 minutes) - It’s 1945 just after Adolf Hitler’s suicide in Berlin and the Allies have made their way into Germany. While the 36th Infantry Division of the US Army facilitates the march of German citizens back to their hometowns, a car appears and out pops Hermann Göring, now the highest-ranking leader of the remaining Nazis. Göring elected to surrender to the Americans over the Soviets. The ongoing sentiment at the time was to swiftly eliminate Nazis on the spot, but instead Göring served as the key defendant in The Nuremberg Trials. Adapting Jack El-Hai’s 2013 novel "The Nazi" and the psychiatrist, screenwriter and director James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, Truth), has made "Nuremberg" a fascinating and urgently important story that has not been told on film before.

So is this yet another courtroom drama? Yes and no. There is plenty of drama in this courtroom, indeed, but it is the questions at its core and the central cat-and-mouse game between former Reichsmarschall and Hitler’s No. 2 Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe) and Army psychologist Lt. Col. Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) that grab the spotlight and let us into the Nazi psyche like never before. These two Oscar-winning actors go toe to toe in a thrilling chess match between a magician, a psychiatrist, and a narcissist who thought he could outwit an entire international court. But in Vanderbilt’s hands this isn’t the whole story in an unusual scenario that doesn’t rely on a three-act structure but manages to paint a bigger picture focusing on just a few participants in this monumental event that shaped a new international order of law. Opening Friday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. Additional 7 p.m. shows on Saturday, Nov. 29 and Thursday, Dec. 4. Shows at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 30 and Wednesday, Dec. 3 (OCAP).

“Backed by a roster of powerhouse performances led by Russell Crowe, Rami Malek and Michael Shannon, the commanding production looks like it could be an awards season contender." – Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter

“Addams Family Values is a rare comedy sequel that actually improves on the original, and the reason, I suspect, is that Rudnick, who wrote the screenplay, has been allowed to run wild.” – David Denby, New York Magazine/Vulture
