“A Haunting In Venice” -  (PG13; 1 hour, 43 minutes) -  Set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve this terrifying mystery features the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh). Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets. The screenplay was inspired by Dame Agatha Christie’s 1969 novel Hallowe’en Party. It is the first time this story has been adapted into a feature film. Final shows at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 4 and Thursday, Oct. 5.

“If Poirot’s road back to becoming a detective after retirement feels somewhat preordained, Branagh cleverly exploits the natural allure of a good mystery, both in front of and behind the camera, to draw the audience in for a romp that’s equal parts creepy and classy.” - Variety

“Golda” - (PG13; 1 hour, 40 minutes) -  “Golda” is a ticking-clock thriller set during the tense 19 days of the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir (Helen Mirren), faced with the potential of Israel's complete destruction, must navigate overwhelming odds, a skeptical cabinet, and a complex relationship with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (Liev Schreiber), with millions of lives in the balance. Her tough leadership and compassion would ultimately decide the fate of her nation and leave her with a controversial legacy around the world. Playing at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6; Saturday, Oct. 7;  Wednesday, Oct. 11; Thursday, Oct. 12, and Sunday, Oct. 8, 2 p.m.

“There is no trace of Helen Mirren in Golda, and that’s the way it ought to be. To say that she becomes the fabled Israeli Prime Minister is a mild understatement, and it should come as no surprise that she delivers a great performance.” – Leonard Maltin, leonardmaltin.com
