A ROCKAPELLA HOLIDAY

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22nd, 2009 ~ 8:00 PM

"Some say the best musical instrument of all is the human voice - if you've seen Rockapella you know that's the truth," says USA TODAY. This five-man powerhouse of vocal talent sweeps through sold-out venues across the country year-round. With an ever-expanding fan base, they're known as the Kings of Contemporary A Cappella.

Back by popular demand, Rockapella's holiday show is returning to Tampa Theatre this year. Rockapella will celebrate with its completely original take on the holidays, adding its smooth edge to the season's warm heart.

AN EDUCATION
Now Showing

At A Glance: During the early 1960's, a precocious and bright young British schoolgirl falls for a worldly older man who may not have her best interests at heart.

"One of the best films of the year." - Rex Reed, New York Observer & Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"A miracle of a movie! Prepared to be wowed by Carey Mulligan, who is sensational and incandescent. Peter Saarsgard is shockingly good. Alfred Molina is a comic force of nature. High on the list of the year's best movies." - Peter Travers, Roling Stone
"The whole film is phenomenal. I love it." - Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
 
Author Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About A Boy) turns from novels to screenplays with this talent-driven drama. It’s 1961 and Jenny (Carey Mulligan), a bright and attractive 16-year-old schoolgirl full of promise, is poised on the brink of womanhood, dreaming of a rarefied, Gauloise-scented existence as she sings along to Juliette Greco in her Twickenham bedroom. Stifled by the tedium of adolescent routine, Jenny can’t wait for adult life to begin. Meanwhile, she’s a diligent student, excelling in every subject except the Latin that her father is convinced will land her at the university of her dreams, Oxford. One rainy day, her suburban life is upended by the arrival of an unsuitable suitor, 30-ish David (Peter Sarsgaard), who leads Jenny to believe that she can learn things outside the classroom, casting doubt on her future plans.

Director: Lone Scherfig

COCO BEFORE CHANEL
Now Showing

At A Glance: Biopic of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel which follows her early life before becoming a world-famous and legendary couturier.

"Tautou not only resembles Chanel, she inhabits the role completely, using flashing eyes and a relentless intelligence to convey the unbending strength of a woman determined to make something of her life in a time and place when that was far from the norm." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"The blossoming of her ambition, as much as her love life, drives the story forward, and turns Coco Before Chanel into a costume drama worthy of the name." - A. O. Scott, New York Times
A little girl who is sent with her sister to an orphanage in the heart of France, who waits in vain every Sunday for her father to come for her… A cabaret performer with a weak voice who sings to an audience of drunken soldiers… A humble seamstress, who stitches hems at the back of a provincial tailor's shop… A young, skinny courtesan, to whom protector Étienne Balsan (Benoît Poelvoorde) offers a safe haven, amongst the idle and decadent… A woman in love who knows she will never be anyone’s wife, refusing marriage even to Arthur 'Boy' Capel (Alessandro Nivola), the man who returned her love… A rebel who finds the conventions of her time oppressive, and instead dresses in her lovers' clothes… This is the story of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (Audrey Tautou, Amélie), who begins her life as a headstrong orphan and through an extraordinary journey becomes the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style.
Writer/Director:  Anne Fontaine (Edmonde Charles-Roux, book)
Cast:  Audrey Tautou, Benoît Poelvoorde, Alessandro Nivola, Marie Gillain,
Rating PG-13 for sexual content and smoking/2009/1:45/In French with English subtitles

At A Glance: Equal parts edification and entertainment, Aviva Kempner's tender tribute to a forgotten pioneer of American entertainment is both richly deserved and long overdue.

"[An] engrossing documentary portrait of a once-beloved radio and television star who died in 1966 and today is barely remembered." - Stephen Holden, New York Times
"In Yoo Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg, Kempner gives us a balance of artist and alter ego, introducing us to a woman we'd like to know even better." - Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
"The documentary, like the series, is haimish in the extreme - cozy, warm, homey. It touches on such larger issues as feminism, acculturation, suburbanization, and the blacklist." - Mark Feeney, Boston Globe

SPECIAL EVENT!

Saturday, October 31st at 3:00

Pre-Show Entertainment -- Come early to hear Rosa play the Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ beginning (2:45-3:00 pm)

Stay after the film for “Rosa Rio’s Radio Days”

Tampa Theatre organist Rosa Rio occasionally played the organ for “The Goldbergs and knew Gertrude Berg.  “Gertrude was smart, successful and brilliant,” recalls Rosa, “and she made listeners feel like they were IN the show – and not just being entertained.”  Hear Rosa talk about her first-hand experiences with “The Goldbergs” and the many other radio shows for which she performed, including “The Shadow” with Orson Welles and “The Bob and Ray Show.”

From Aviva Kempner, award-winning maker of The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, comes this humorous and delightfully entertaining story of radio and television pioneer Gertrude Berg. She was the creator, principal writer and star of "The Goldbergs," a popular radio show about a Jewish family living in New York City which became television's very first character-driven domestic sitcom in 1949. She combined social commentary, family values and lots of humor to win the hearts of America. Berg appeared on the cover of Billboard Magazine and received the first Best Actress Emmy in history, paving the way for women in the entertainment industry. She was polled as the second most respected woman in America after Eleanor Roosevelt. The Oprah, Martha and Rachel Ray of her day, Berg was a media trailblazer with popular radio and television shows, a cookbook, jigsaw puzzle, advice column and clothing line for modern women of her time. Gertrude Berg is truly the most famous woman in America you've never heard of. Includes appearances by "All in the Family" producer Norman Lear, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and NPR commentator Susan Stamberg.

PARIS
opens October 21
 

At A Glance: A dancer's enforced seclusion due to impending surgery leads him to discover the beauty of the city of Paris as well as the love of his family.

"From the catacombs to the city's heights, Paris turns an unblinking gaze on the beauty of melancholy and the daring leap toward joy." - Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times

"Every character has life and depth. It's unusual for an episodic film to involve us so well in individual lives; as the narrative circles through their stories, we're genuinely curious about what will happen next." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
 
Cédric Klapish, the beloved director of L'Auberge Espagnole, gathers together some of the biggest actors in French cinema for a valentine to the city of lights. The all-star cast includes Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche, Romain Duris, Melanie Laurent, Fabrice Luchini, Francois Cluzet and Karin Viard. While waiting for a heart transplant that could save his life, Pierre (Duris) grows close again with his sister (Binoche) and her lively children. This rediscovery of his family and observation of the teeming streets outside his window give Pierre a new, hopeful sense of how he might spend the time still left to him. A cinematic love letter to the city that seems to hide a story behind every shop window, small alley, street market or grand apartment building, the film explores the life and love possible only in Paris.
Writer/Director: Cédric Klapisch
Cast: Juliette Binoche, Romain Duris, Fabrice Luchini, Albert Dupontel, François Cluzet,

COLD SOULS

opens September 25th

Click here for showtimes

At A Glance: Paul Giamatti stars as himself, an actor struggling with his work, who then decides to relieve his professional anxiety by having his soul extracted. Surrealist and existential hijincks ensue.

"A delicious fable...flat-out funny." - Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"Peppered with ingenious twists of imagination, Cold Souls walks a tightrope between intellectual slapstick and edgy social commentary." - Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune



Is your soul weighing you down? Paul Giamatti has found a solution! In the surreal comedy Cold Souls, Paul Giamatti plays an actor named… Paul Giamatti. Stumbling upon an article in The New Yorker about a high-tech company that extracts, deep-freezes and stores people’s souls, Paul very well might have found the key to happiness for which he’s been searching. But, complications arise when he is the unfortunate victim of "soul-trafficking." Giamatti’s journey takes him all the way to Russia in hopes of retrieving his stolen soul from an ambitious but talentless soap-opera actress. Balancing a tightrope between deadpan humor & pathos, and reality & fantasy, Cold Souls is a true soul searching comedy.

Cast: Paul Giamatti, David Starthairn, Emily Watson, Dina Korzun, Lauren Ambrose

FOOD, INC.
Two More Shows!!


 

At A Glance: An eye-opening expose of the modern food industry, Food, Inc. is both fascinating and terrifying, and essential viewing for any health-conscious citizen.

"... a mind-boggling, heart-rending, stomach-churning expose on the food industry." - Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
"...an informative, often infuriating activist documentary about the big business of feeding or, more to the political point, force-feeding, Americans all the junk that multinational corporate money can buy." - Manohla Dargis, New York Times
"... an essential, indelible documentary that is scarier than anything in the last five Saw horror shows." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
How much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli -- the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults. Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farm's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising -- and often shocking truths -- about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.
