 From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!) comes the new screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby, " starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan. The filmmaker created his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before. The film follows would-be writer Nick Carraway (Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio), and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles. 143 min

The Place Beyond the Pines (R)
Times: 12:15, 3:20, 6:25, 9:30
 This daring new movie, starring Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes and Bradley Cooper, was filmed right here in Schenectady in the summer of 2011, co-written by Ben Coccio from Schenectady, and included many local residents as extras in the film. Derek Cianfrance, the director of Blue Valentine, created this sweeping emotional drama powerfully exploring the unbreakable bond between fathers and sons. Luke (Gosling) is in constant motion, a high-wire motorcycle stunt performer who travels from town to town with the carnival. Passing through Schenectady, he tries to reconnect with a former lover, Romina (Mendes), only to learn that she has in his absence given birth to their son Jason. Luke resolves to forsake life on the road and to provide for his newfound family, taking a job as car mechanic with Robin (Ben Mendelsohn). Robin soon discovers Luke's special talents, and proposes to partner with him in a string of spectacular bank robberies. But it is only a matter of time before Luke will run up against the law - which comes in the form of Avery Cross (Cooper). Avery is an ambitious rookie cop navigating a local police department ruled by the menacingly corrupt detective Deluca (Ray Liotta). When Avery, just beginning to balance his profession and his family life, confronts Luke, the full consequences will reverberate into the next generation. It is then that the two sons must face their fateful, shared legacy. 140 min

42 (PG13)
Times: 12:30, 3:35, 6:35, 9:35
 Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. Brian Helgeland's film tells the story of two men: the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager, Branch Rickey, whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press, and even other players. Facing unabashed hostility from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey's hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking, ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow. 128 min

The Angels' Share (Not Rated)
Times: 12:50, 3:45, 6:55, 9:25
 Winner of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize, this is a comic fable about wasted talent and what happens when we are given a chance in life. It would be hard to see Robbie as a man worthy of redemption. He's constantly watching out for a gang of thugs looking to settle a family grudge, his girlfriend is giving birth to a baby while her father offers him money to leave Glasgow, and he's serving 300 hours of community service. But when Robbie meets Harry, the gruff but benevolent man in charge of his sentence, he finds a hidden talent for Scotch whiskey — and a new chance at life. For distillers the angels' share is the whiskey lost to evaporation each year, and that little fact makes a rare cask of whiskey the perfect target for a heist. A hilarious story about second chances, The Angels' Share is a tender crowd-pleaser from legendary filmmaker Ken Loach (The Wind that Shakes the Barley) and screenwriter Paul Laverty. 106 min.
