    “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song” – (PG-13; 1 hour, 55 minutes) - This film takes a definitive exploration of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen as seen through the prism of his internationally renowned hymn, Hallelujah. This feature-length documentary weaves together three creative strands: The songwriter and his times. The song's dramatic journey from record label reject to chart-topping hit. And moving testimonies from major recording artists for whom Hallelujah has become a personal touchstone. Last shows at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14 and Thursday, Sept. 15.

    “Fascinating exploration of an enigmatic artist and his creative process.” – Peter Canavese, Celluloid Dreams

    “See How They Run” – (PG-13; 1 hour, 38 minutes) - This rollicking comedy and take off on earlier whodunits is set in the West End of 1950s London when plans for a movie version of Agatha Christie’s famed “The Mousetrap” come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril. Playing at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16; Saturday, Sept. 17; Monday, Sept. 19; Tuesday, Sept. 20; Wednesday, Sept. 21; Thursday, Sept. 22; Friday, Sept. 23; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18.

    “A snappy comedy that struts in with an eyebrow coyly arched.”- Variety
