Did your movies-to-see checklist get a little bigger after the Academy Award nominations this week? Well you’re in luck, a number of these smaller films (I hesitate to call some true indies) are coming to Fresno multiplexes this weekend.
Ed Zwick’s Defiance, starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber, up for Best Score (studio had hoped for more noms, but snubbed), is playing at Edwards and Manchester. Jonathan Demme’s Rachel Getting Married, starring Anne Hathaway who is nominated for Best Actress, is playing at Manchester. Also at Manchester, Stephen Daldry’s The Reader, starring Kate Winselt and Ralph Fiennes (Best Film, Writing, Directing, Cinematography, and Actress for Winselt). Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler, Mickey Rourke nommed for Actor and Marrisa Tomei for Supporting Actress, is playing at Edwards. And also at Edwards, Sam Mendes’ Revolutionary Road, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winselt (nommed for Art Direction, Costumes, and Supporting Actor for Michael Shannon).
So what’re you planning on seeing? Let us know in the comments!
