Precious is a vibrant, honest and resoundingly hopeful film about the human capacity to grow and overcome. Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of "Precious" Jones (Gabourey Sidibe), an African-American girl born into a life no one would want. She’s pregnant for the second time by her absent father; at home, she must wait hand and foot on her mother (Mo'Nique), a poisonously angry woman. School is a place of chaos, but she is invited to enrol in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction. Winner of Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize for Best Drama at this year's Sundance Film Fest. Nominated for 6 ACADEMY AWARDS including BEST PICTURE and BEST ACTRESS |

The Hurt Locker has the killer impact of the explosive devices that are the heart of its plot: It simply blows you apart. Forced to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the chaos of war, an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in Baghdad where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb. Overwhelmingly tense, overflowing with crackling realism, unqualified triumph that’s been long expected from director Kathryn Bigelow (Point Break, Near Dark). Time Magazine calls it "a near-perfect movie". Nominated for 9 ACADEMY AWARDS including BEST PICTURE and BEST ACTOR ADVANCE PREMIERE SCREENINGS LUNA OUTDOOR - Thurs Feb 4 to Wed Feb 10.

A PROPHET - OPENING NIGHT EVENT - enjoy a GLASS OF WINE and an introduction to the film by MARK NAGLAZAS Condemned to six years in prison, Malik El Djebena (Tahar Rahim), part Arab, part Corsican, cannot read or write. Arriving at the jail entirely alone, he appears younger and more fragile than the other convicts. He is 19 years old. Cornered by the leader of the Corsican gang currently ruling the prison, he is given a number of "missions" to carry out, toughening him up and gaining the gang leader's confidence in the process. Malik is a fast learner and rises up the prison ranks, all the while secretly devising his own plans…  “Masterful.” – Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
