MAY 25 - THE WAY - 2011 - 7:00 PM - Founders Hall.

THE WAY is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends and challenges we face while navigating this ever-changing and complicated world.  MARTIN SHEEN plays Tom, an irascible American doctor who comes to France to deal with the tragic loss of his son (played by EMILIO ESTEVEZ).  Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage "The Way of St. James" to honor his son's desire to finish the journey.  What Tom doesn't plan on is the profound impact this trip will have on him.  Through unexpected and oftentimes amusing experiences along "The Way," Tom discovers the difference between "the life we live and the life we choose."

JUNE 8 - BEGINNERS - 2011

Christopher Plummer won the OSCAR for Best Supporting Actor for his part in this film.  This is an uplifting comedy about how funny and transformative life can be.  When graphic designer Oliver meets free-spirited Anna, shortly after his father has passed away, he realizes just how much of a beginner he is when it comes to long-lasting romantic love.  Memories of his father, who, following the death of his wife of 45 years, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life, encourages Oliver to open himself up to the potential of a true relationship.

JUNE 22 - MONEYBALL - 2011

Nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Pitt), Best Supporting Actor (Hill).  This is a film for all baseball fans.  Oakland A's general manager Bill Beane (Brad Pitt) challenges the system and defies conventional wisdom when he is forced to rebuild his small-market team, on a limited budget.  Despite opposition from the old guard, the media, fans and their own field manager, Beane - with the help of a young, number-crunching, Yale-educated economist (Johah Hill) - develops a rooster of misfits...and along the way, forever changes the way the game is played.
