"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 U.S. 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. There is plenty of drama in this courtroom, 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 and psychiatrist and a narcissist who thought he could outwit an entire international court. Final shows Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 2 p.m. (OCAP) and Thursday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m.

“Dominating the film are the stunning performances of Crowe, truly immersing himself in one of his best, if most difficult, roles as the duplicitous Goring, and Malek, whose Kelley is the unsung hero of it all.” – Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily

"Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere" - (PG13; 2 hours) - This film cuts deep as an intimate portrait of Springsteen’s life, capturing the emotional struggle that shaped his legendary "Nebraska" album - a raw, haunted acoustic record, with dark, stark lyrics about highways and loners, all-night drives and lovers on the run, searching for a reason to believe. Rather than recapping Bruce’s decades-long career, writer and director Scott Cooper focuses on the soul-searching moment when the rock star turned inward and found Nebraska. A silent, troubled, closed-off young artist, on the cusp of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past, Springsteen (Jeremy Allen White) rents a home in the woods of Colts Neck, New Jersey, and effectively barricades himself into a bedroom where he obsessively watches Terrence Malick’s "Badlands" on a loop, reads Flannery O’Connor, and feverishly writes the anguished songs that would form the seminal 1982 folk album.

Based on Warren Zanes’ book, "Deliver Me from Nowhere" that acknowledges Springsteen’s "Nebraska" as a turning point in music recording history, a stripped-down collection of intimate sketches, captured on a four-track TEAC 144 and released more or less as it was, imperfections and all. Springsteen relied on Mike Batlan (Paul Walter Hauser) to mix, and a water-damaged Panasonic boombox for playback. The film captures the conflicts the tape caused for manager Jon Landau (Jeremy Strong) and recording engineer Chuck Plotkin (Marc Maron) as they battled to have the artist’s recording produced in the truest form it was created. Opening Friday, Dec. 5. Plays at 7 p.m. Dec. 5, Saturday, Dec. 6 and Thursday, Dec. 11; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7 and Wednesday, Dec. 10 (OCAP).

“The film gives us a sincere look at the creative process and reveals it to be a sad, scary, at times uncontrollable and destructive thing. Just for that alone, it’s worth seeing.” – Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture

Surrounded by a cast of suspicious townspeople—each hiding something and each a perfect suspect—Blanc must untangle lies, masks, and motives to uncover the truth.
