MOVIE SCHEDULE
Friday, May 27 - Saved!
Starring Jena Malone, Mandy Moore, Macaulay Culkin, Patrick Fugit, Mary-Louise Parker. The debut feature from writer/director Brian Dannelly, Saved! is a dark comedy set in a strict Baptist high school. Mary (Malone), a teenager who discovers that not only is she pregnant, but the boyfriend who sired the unborn child has just come out of the closet. Squeaky-clean, pop songstress Mandy Moore bucks her image, playing Mary's overzealous best friend who is bent on converting a Jewish friend.

Friday, June 3 - Gia
Starring Angeline Jolie, Faye Dunaway, Elizabeth Mitchell, Mercedes Ruehl. Novelist Jay McInerney and playwright Michael Cristofer (who also made his feature film directorial debut) collaborated on the script for this bio of doomed supermodel Gia Carangi. Gia (Jolie), a gorgeous Philadelphia native who arrives in New York City to become a model, immediately makes an impression on high-powered agent Wilhelmina Cooper (Dunaway). Gia's fierce good looks make her a star, as does her willingness to pose nude. Gia becomes entangled in a passionate affair with a photographer's assistant, Linda (Mitchell), but Linda is more conflicted about her bisexuality, driving Gia away and fueling the model's craving for mood-altering drugs. Failed attempts at reconciliation with both Linda and her mother Kathleen (Ruehl) drive Gia further over the edge from cocaine to heroin, her emaciated body and sunken eyes becoming the catalyst for the "heroin chic" look. Although Gia is eventually able to kick her powerful habit, she learns that an infected needle has resulted in her contracting the AIDS virus.

Friday, June 10: All Over the Guy
Starring Dan Bucantinski, Richard Ruccolo, Doris Robert. A contemporary romantic comendy about the universal quest for that one true love. An unlikely pair of twenty-somethings, Eli (Bucatinsky) and Tom (Ruccolo), are thrown together by their respective best friends. They're both looking for 'the one,' but don't recognize it when they find it. They do everything they can to not fall for each other, stumbling over their own fears, family dysfunctions and foolish bouts of self-sabotage. Their comedy of errors rolls on, with the two oblivious to what everyone else can clearly see is in their hearts.

Friday, June 17: Jeffrey
Starring Steven Weber, Michael T. Weiss, Patrick Steward, Nathan Lane, Sigourney Weaver. Based on Paul Rudnick's hit Off-Broadway play, this romantic comedy centers on the chaotic love life of Jeffrey (Weber), a gay man who swears off sex only to fall in love with his ideal man (Weiss). Jeffrey's vow of chastity is inspired by a fear of AIDS, a prospect which has started to terrify him so much that he decides he'd be better off never making love again. He is happy and relieved for a time, until he meets Steve, a handsome, charming dreamboat who also happens to be HIV-positive. Jeffrey wants nothing more than to be with Steve, but his anxiety over the disease and fear of commitment stand in the way. Much of the humor falls to Jeffrey's friends, including the sharp-tongued Sterling (Patrick Stewart), an outwardly catty but surprisingly good-hearted interior decorator, and his young boyfriend Darius (Bryan Batt), a performer in the Broadway musical Cats.

Friday, June 24: Kissing Jessica Stein
Starring Jennifer Westfeldt, Tovah Felshuh, Scott Cohen, Heather Juergensen. A woman searching for the perfect man instead discovers the perfect woman in this romantic comedy. Jessica Stein (Westfeldt) is a woman with a solid career as a copy editor, but her love life isn't much to write home about. She's been through a long series of disastrous first dates that refuse to evolve into second dates, and the well-intended advice of her best friend Joan (Jackie Hoffman) and former boyfriend Josh (Cohen) isn't helping a bit. One day, Jessica is scanning personal ads in the newspaper with her friends, and she sees one with a quote from her favorite poet. Jessica reads on to discover that she has a lot in common with the person who placed the ad -- too much so, since it turns out the notice is from a woman, Helen Cooper (Juergensen), who manages an art gallery. Jessica figures it would at least be nice to hang out with someone who shares her interests, and she gives Helen a call. Jessica and Helen quickly strike up a close friendship that evolves into something more intimate, though neither of them has ever been involved with another woman ... and Helen is a bit more avid about her new romantic horizons than Jessica. As their relationship progresses, Jessica finds herself struggling with her feelings about her new sexual outlook, and she isn't sure how to break the news about her relationship to her mother (Feldshuh) as she tries to decide if she should bring Helen along to her brother's wedding.
