Starlight Cinema
Starlight Cinema’s Film Circuit December presentation, The Brothers Bloom, is a fast-paced comedy about a pair of childhood friends who grow up to become con men.
Bloom (Adrien Brody) and Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) decide to take on one last job escorting Penelope (Rachel Weisz), a beautiful and eccentric heiress, on a round-the-world adventure. While romance blossoms between Bloom and Penelope, Stephen’s scheme starts falling spectacularly apart in an action-packed comedy that harks back to the classic road movies. Newsday Critic Rafer Guzman calls The Brothers Bloom “That rare and wonderful thing: A movie lover’s movie.”
The Brothers Bloom will be screened at 7 p.m. Dec. 9 at the Lebovic Centre for the Arts – Nineteen on the Park. Individual tickets are $7.50 and season passes for all seven films, which will be shown at 7 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month until June 2010, are $40. Tickets and passes are available from the Nineteen on the Park box office.
On Jan. 9, Starlight Cinema will show Every Little Step, a delightful documentary about real-life dancers as they struggle through auditions for the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line. The Feb. 10 movie is Departed, which won the 2009 Academy award for best foreign language film, and on March 10, Starlight Cinema will feature Cairo Time, the acclaimed Canadian romantic drama starring Patricia Clarkson and Alexander Siddig.
All movies for the Starlight Cinema series at Nineteen on the Park are supplied by Toronto International Film Festival’s Film Circuit. The series is sponsored by the Stouffville Free Press. For more information visit www.townofws.com/nineteen or call 905-640-2322.
