Last Minute Sales & Specials

Contains "Capote" and "Pollock (SE)." "Capote" - In November, 1959, the shocking murder of a smalltown Kansas family captures the imagination of Truman Capote (Philip Seymour Hoffman), famed author of "Breakfast At Tiffany's." With his childhood friend Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), writer of the soon-to-be published "To Kill A Mockingbird," Capote sets out to investigate, winning over the locals despite his flamboyant appearance and style. When he forms a bond with the killers and their execution date nears, the writing of "In Cold Blood," a book that will change the course of American Literature, takes a drastic toll on Capote, changing him in ways he never imagined. Stellar performances from Hoffman and Keener, as well as Academy Award(R) winner Chris Cooper ("Adaptation") are why critics are calling "Capote" a "must-see movie." "Pollock (SE)" - Directed by and starring Academy Award nominee (for Best Actor) Ed Harris ("The Truman Show," "The Rock"), "Pollock" is a beautifully-crafted, stunning drama about the legendary American painter, Jackson Pollock. Fellow artists and lovers, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner are at the center of New York's 1940s art scene, but as Krasner neglects her work to push Pollock's career forward, Pollock begins to unravel emotionally. Pollock and Krasner escape to the country and marry and, soon, Pollock creates work that makes him the first internationally-famous modern painter in America. But, with fame and fortune, comes a volatile temper and severe self-doubt; before long, Pollock's life threatens to explode. Featuring exceptional performances by a stellar cast, including Academy Award(R) winner Marcia Gay Harden ("Meet Joe Black," "The First Wives Club"), Amy Madigan ("Field Of Dreams," "Uncle Buck"), Val Kilmer ("The Saint," "Heat") and Jennifer Connelly ("Requiem For A Dream").
