HYSTERIA (R) In late 1800’s London, a young doctor named Mortimer Granville is struggling to break into the field with his theories about the importance of sanitation and germs. His luck changes though, when he meets Dr. Dalrymple, who specializes in women’s medicine. In short, they invent a device to handle a woman’s certain...needs, which has the women of London going crazy and everyone questioning their legitimacy. The formal, uptight setting of 19th century England plays the perfect comedic backdrop to this film about how to please a woman. UA Tara Theatre, 2345 Cheshire Bridge Road NE ‘’

MOONRISE KINGDOM (PG-13) Wes Anderson’s newest film, chronicles the love story between two twelve-year-old children while at a summer camp in New England during the 60’s. The lovers make a pact via love letters to run away together, but when they come up missing, a mad search begins to find them. Capturing the dry hilarity and absurdity of his expertly created characters, Wes Anderson creates a classic comedy in the way only he can.
’’PROMETHEUS (R) It’s 2089 and a team of scientists (including Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron) is aboard the titular, trillion-dollar spaceship, on their way to a distant, mysterious planet which - they hope - holds the secret to the origins of humanity. They’re unfortunately wrong , although they do manage to uncover a host of nasty, drippy, dark things in the process in this, Ridley Scott’s sorta faux-prequel to his ’70s sci-fi horror film Alien.
