ONE NIGHT ONLY! FRIDAY, JANUARY 29 STARTING AT 7 PM
THE DARK CRYSTAL at 7pm
(Dir. Jim Henson & Frank Oz, USA/UK, 1982, PG, 93 min)
Featuring fantastical puppet flora and fauna from Muppet man Jim Henson, this dark but wonderful children's movie follows Jen and Kira, two young Gelflings who are the last of their kind, as they try to fulfill the prophecy of the Dark Crystal. Jen's wise master reveals on his deathbed that only a Gelfling will mend the crystal that cracked 1,000 years ago and placed the land under the dark rule of the evil, selfish Skeksis. To break the prophecy, the Skeksis killed all the Gelflings, and only Jen and Kira escaped their wrath. Now, though, Jen and Kira must journey into the heart of the Skeksis castle to reach the crystal and return the land to its former goodness. Like all good children's movies, The Dark Crystal contains enough scary elements to keep the tension tight and the kids enthralled, while the puppet mastery will impress and tickle adults.

ARMY OF DARKNESS
(Dir. Sam Raimi, 1992, R, 81 min)
Through a magic spell, Ash, a modern-day discount-store employee, finds himself back in the middle ages. Given the key to return home by an alchemist, he bungles the incantation and, instead, releases the forces of darkness. Now Ash has one job to do before transporting to the future: defeat the army of the evil dead... if they don't defeat him first.
