Cowabunga!

John Hawkes stars in a story of triumph over disability that takes the form of an uplifting sex comedy.

Mark, a wry and chatty 38-year-old (John Hawkes), just wants to get laid. One small problem: he has polio and is paralyzed from the neck down. First, he must get the permission of his priest, Father Brendan (William H. Macy) who weighs the cosmic scales and declares, “In my heart I believe He will give you a free pass on this one.” Then, he has to find a willing partner. She turns out to be Cheryl (Helen Hunt), a married woman and mother who works as a sexual surrogate, helping the disabled and the mentally challenged to explore their sexuality.

The heart of The Sessions is the scenes between Mark and Cheryl, which are uncommonly frank about sex and nudity, and lay out the mechanics of Cheryl’s work in precise detail. Hawkes, who has earned much acclaim for playing creeps and cretins recently (Winter’s Bone, Martha Marcy May Marlene) achieves the seemingly impossible here, capturing the depth and soul of a thoughtful, charming poet using only his face. Hunt is even better as a woman who has no problem taking off her clothes for strangers, but can’t have a single honest conversation with the husband who takes her for granted.

It’s time for “Mods versus Rockers” at Nitehawk!

Set to the soundtrack of The Who’s 1973 concept album of the same name, Quadrophenia is the classic tale of rebellion and escapism through music, drugs, and gangs. We see 1960s London as a place of frustration and violence as told through the eyes of Jimmy, a disillusioned young man who hates his job and cannot relate to his family. But after his dream trip to Brighton turns into a crash of disappointment and reality, his fantasy life of nothing but fun turns into a teenage wasteland.

The lengths a struggling writer in Los Angeles will go to find inspiration.

In his follow up to his feature film debut (2008’s incredible In Bruges), British director Martin McDonagh gives us another dark, violent, comedy about misguided misfits. You can call this one Hollywood Noir full of blood and humor. When Marty (played by Colin Farrell) has difficulty finishing his screenplay Seven Psychopaths, he gets himself mixed up with all kinds of insanity including dog thievery, unemployed actors, gangsters in LA’s criminal underworld, and Christopher Walken. And for the love of Shih Tzu, Marty will have one brilliant script…if he survives to tell the tale.

The seven psychopaths are: Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, Tom Waits, Abbie Cornish, and Olga Kurylenko.

Killing Them Softly is a juicy, bloody, grimy and profane crime drama that amply satisfies as a deep-dish genre piece but with political and historical depth.

Money, men, and murder. The worlds of Wall Street and Goodfellas collide beautifully in Killing Them Softly, a violent, witty and hugely entertaining flick about a crumbling mafia empire based on George V. Higgins’ novel “Cogan’s Trade”. After three dimwitted guys unwisely rob a Mob protected card game for 100k, they send the local criminal economy into a collapse. Steely Cogan (Brad Pitt) is the side-burns cool savvy enforcer hired to track the three thieves down and restore some much needed order. However, Coogan’s preferred style to kill “softly” is known and the ruthless specialist Mickey (James Gandolfini) enters to further complicate matters.

Starring: Dolly Parton, Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise

The Chicken Ranch is as clean, moral, and wholesome as a whorehouse can get but that’s still not good enough for a meddling TV preacher man in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, a musical-comedy starring two of our favorites: Dolly Parton as Miss Mona Stangley and Burt Reynolds as Lanville County Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd. These friends-with-benefits must fight to let the good times roll at the popular Chicken Ranch when television personality Melvin P. Thorpe goes on a consumer watchdog rampage to expose the illegal activities. Come watch the Chicken Ranchers since, dance, and sleep their way to continued success and into your hearts on the big screen!
