ST. VINCENT
Director: Theodore Melfi; USA, 2014, 103 min; PG
Cast: Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy, Chris O’Dowd, Terrence Howard, Naomi Watts
A cantankerous, cash-strapped, loose-living retiree (Bill Murray) becomes a spectacularly unlikely role model for his 12-year-old neighbor in this delightful comedy. A solitary
Vietnam War veteran with a withering temper, Vincent is less than pleased to see Maggie
(Melissa McCarthy) move in next door with her son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher). Soon
Oliver is on the receiving end of an uproarious miseducation. —New York Observer

We are very sad to share the news that John Skibinski, manager
of Cinecenta from 1980-86, passed away on November 12th due to
complications from the flu. DURING THE 80s, JOHN ALSO WORKED ON
THE VICTORIA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. He went on to manage the
Varsity and Park Cinemas in Vancouver, and, in recent years, became
a very popular fixture at Vancouver’s Black Dog Video. He was a
highly intelligent, singular force of nature. Everyone who knew
John delighted in his hilariously irreverent sense of humour and his
encyclopaedic knowledge of films. He will be missed by many, most
of whom knew John through a shared love of movies.

PICTURE!
Director: Matthew Warchus; UK, 2014, 121 min; PG
An entirely entertaining movie about a magical occurrence during the British coal miners’ strike of 1984-85. When the Thatcher government threatens to close down the country’s pits, a young gay-rights activist (Ben Schnetzer) leads a group of gays and lesbians to
the dreary South Wales town where they are greeted with varying degrees of warmth, hostility, and astonishment. The director gives
the material a lilting charm. With Bill Nighy; the great Imelda Staunton; and Dominic West, who breaks the ice by putting on the seventies disco number “Shame, Shame, Shame,” turning a testy meet and greet into a delirious uproar. —The New Yorker

AWAKE: THE LIFE OF YOGANANDA
An unconventional biography about the Hindu Swami who brought yoga and meditation to the West in the 1920s. Paramahansa Yogananda authored the spiritual classic
“Autobiography of a Yogi,” which has sold millions and is a go-to book for seekers and
yoga enthusiasts today. Filmed in 30 countries, the documentary examines the world of
yoga, modern and ancient, east and west. —PMK*BNC
David Cronenberg’s delicious “Maps” features a monstrous child star (Evan Bird), an
aging screen diva (a gloriously go-for-broke Julianne Moore), an aspiring actor (a very
good Robert Pattinson) and an outcast (Mia Wasikowska), as well as a threesome, incest,
drugs, yoga, therapy and lots of name-dropping. But “Maps” is so crisply directed, furiously paced and gleefully performed, that you go along for the ride. —The Atlantic

THE DOCUMENTARY OF THE YEAR MAY ALSO BE ITS MOST HAIR-RAISING THRILLER. Part of Citizenfour’s thrill is that it allows the viewer to experience, first-hand, history being made, as National Security Agency
whistle-blower Edward Snowden, hiding in a Hong Kong hotel in 2013, exposes how the U.S. government used an unprecedented global surveillance program. For those who think the Snowden revelations are old news,
the movie offers extensive fresh justifications for paranoia, and a final kicker promising bigger revelations to come.

BLACK FLY
GONE GIRL
A troubled teenager (Dakota Daulby),
and his older brother (Matthew MacCaull)
reconnect, setting off a powder keg of buried secrets, paranoia and murder. Inspired
by true events.
Twisty pulp entertainment at its highest level. It’s a campy, juiced-up take on modern
marriage, media culture and the lies we tell ourselves, played out in a thriller plot that
satirizes as it races along. Nick (Ben Affleck) and his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) have
been married five years to the day when “Gone Girl” opens. Nick goes home and finds
not Amy but signs of a disturbance. The cops arrive, and Amy is declared a missing person…. —The Oregonian
IS THIS THE GREATEST FILM OF ALL

still to marvel at its wit, audacity and sheer
entertainment value. —London Evening

–The Playlist
Director: Justin Simien; USA, 2014, 109 min; 14A
Director: Alan Hicks; USA, 2014, 84 min
Here’s a comic riff on race relations in the Obama era that hits its targets far more than it misses. Set on a fictional Ivy League campus, “Dear White People” marks an auspicious debut for writer-director Justin Simien, an African-American who laces his satire with
delicious mirth and malice. The plot centers on four students coping with being a black face in a white place. Even mellow Lionel (the
excellent Tyler James Williams), a gay student with an Afro, steps up to protest when a frat house throws a party in which whites are
urged to attend in blackface (hey, it happened). The fun is nonstop, the cast is top-tier, and Simien is a talent to watch. What are you
waiting for? —Rolling Stone
“THE BEST FILM ABOUT COLLEGE LIFE IN A LONG TIME!” – Chicago Tribune
Early in this affecting documentary, the great jazz trumpeter Clark Terry is asked who
had gifted him his snazzy shoes. It was Duke Ellington, no less. Terry rubbed shoulders
with the giants, and he himself inspired the likes of Miles Davis and Quincy Jones. This is
an uplifting story about the shorthand language of music and cross-generational mentoring, specifically as it relates to the young, blind and gifted pianist Justin Kauflin and
his ailing coach and forward-paying friend, Terry. No faces are slapped – looking at you,
“Whiplash” – in this soulful story of bebop benevolence. Terry produced some of the
happiest sounds in the history of jazz; “Keep on Keepin’ On” keeps the smiles coming.

“TAKES AIM AGAINST THE CORRUPT, CORROSIVE REGIME OF
VLADIMIR PUTIN.” –The Hollywood Reporter
WHIPLASH
Director: Damien Chazelle; USA, 2014, 108 min; 14A
A blue-collar man (Aleksey Serebryakov) has a home that stands proudly on Russia’s Barents Sea coastline, a monument to a life of
hard work. But a corrupt local politico wants it for himself. Andrey Zvyagintsev’s modern parable of a man crushed beneath the wheels
of the Russian state is a spellbinding. As in his haunting debut, “The Return,” long takes languidly capture the solemn beauty of the
Russian landscape, but it’s the slow crumpling of protagonist Nikolai (Aleksey Serebryakov), as church, government and judiciary gang
up to rob him of his most prized possession, that will leave a longer, angrier impression. Not appearing on Putin’s DVD shelf anytime
soon. —Empire
“IF THERE WAS EVER ANY DOUBT AS TO ZVYAGINTSEV’S POSITION AS ONE OF WORLD CINEMA’S FOREMOST AUTEURS, IT’S PUT TO REST HERE.” –The Playlist
Miles Teller (“The Spectacular Now”) plays a young drummer, Andrew Neyman, who
wants to be “one of the greats.” The movie charts his education/torture at the hands of
an instructor (J. K. Simmons), who conducts the jazz band at the Manhattan conservatory where Andrew is a new student. Film has a long (dis)honor roll of sadistic teachers, but
few have looked like they were getting as much of a thrill out of brutalizing their charges.
As a go-for-it music movie, “Whiplash” is just about peerless. —New York Magazine

INTERSTELLAR
“A RICHLY ENGROSSING AND RAVISHINGLY BEAUTIFUL
MAGNUM OPUS.” –Variety
There are no two ways about it, Turkish auteur Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s latest is simply a masterpiece. The film largely takes place in the
Hotel Othello, carved out of a rocky outcrop in the stunning Cappadocia region of Anatolia. The owner is Aydin (Haluk Bilginer), a
retired stage actor of some repute. Aydin considers himself an enlightened individual—he pens a weekly column in the local paper—but
he’s not regarded in quite such a glowing light by his pretty, younger wife (Melisa Sözen), nor by his divorced sister (Demet Akbağ),
nor by some of the local villagers who are his tenants. It’s not that Aydin is a bad man so much as he’s grown inured to suffering due
to his own complacency. The spirit of Chekhov is never far away and the film is notable for its extensive, knotty dialogue scenes. But
to Ceylan’s immense credit, “Winter Sleep” merits the comparison. —Vancouver International Film Festival
“A BEAUTIFUL, BOLD, INTENTLY SERIOUS FILM.” –The Telegraph
Director: Christopher Nolan; USA/UK, 2014, 169 min; PG
Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Michael Caine, Anne Hathaway, Mackenzie Foy,
Wes Bentley, Topher Grace, Casey Affleck
With Earth dying and resources dwindling, former astronaut Cooper (McConaughey),
along with scientists Brand (Anne Hathaway) and Doyle (Wes Bentley), take humanity’s
last spaceship through a wormhole in search of a new beginning for the human race.
Brainy, barmy and beautiful to behold, this is Stephen Hawking’s Star Trek: a mindbending opera of space and time with a soul wrapped up in all the science. “Interstellar”
stands as Christopher Nolan’s most human film to date. —Empire
