Singin' in the Rain
In 1927 Hollywood, a silent film production company and cast make a difficult transition to sound.
Boasting a Tomatometer Score of 100 percent and an Audience Score of 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this old-school film has been a favorite of critics. The New York Daily News' Wanda Hale said, "'Singin' in the Rain' is another mighty fine MGM Technicolor musical comedy produced by Arthur Freed whose 'An American in Paris' copped seven Academy awards," while Mark Bourne of Film.com noted, "This one's the Taj Mahal, Armstrong's footprint on the moon, the 2001 Arizona-New York World Series, the Clash's 'London Calling', and the perfect foamy head on an expertly poured Guinness."
It's playing at Cinepolis Luxury Cinema Victory Park (2365 Victory Park Lane) through Wednesday, March 6. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
Gully Boy
A coming-of-age story based on the lives of street rappers in Mumbai.
Boasting a Tomatometer Score of 100 percent and an Audience Score of 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Gully Boy" has proven to be a critical darling since its release on Feb. 14. "A mainstream rap musical served up with generous helpings of deftly written hip-hop lyrics and an appealing, largely well-woven narrative starring Ranveer Singh in all his charms," according to Jay Weissberg of Variety, while the Hollywood Reporter's Deborah Young said, "Zoya Akhtar directs with flair and passion and, aided by explosive performances from a right-on cast, triumphs over the familiarity of the star-is-born storyline."

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Miles Morales is juggling his life between being a high school student and being a Spider-Man. When Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk uses a super collider, others from across the Spider-Verse are transported to this dimension.
With a Tomatometer Score of 97 percent and an Audience Score of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" has been a must-watch since its release in December of 2018. "This film manages the delicate feat of embracing its source material while also satirizing it," noted Lawrence Ware of the New York Times, while the Atlantic's David Sims said, "The latest entry in a fully saturated genre that somehow, through sheer creative gumption, does something new."
It's screening at Cinemark 17 and IMAX (11819 Webb Chapel) through Tuesday, March 5; AMC Valley View 16 (13331 Preston Road) and Studio Movie Grill Spring Valley (13933 N. Central Expressway) through Wednesday, March 6. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
The Favourite
England, early 18th century. The close relationship between Queen Anne and Sarah Churchill is threatened by the arrival of Sarah's cousin, Abigail Hill, resulting in a bitter rivalry between the two cousins to be the Queen's favourite.
With a Tomatometer Score of 94 percent and an Audience Score of 66 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "The Favourite" has become a favorite since its release in December of 2018. The New York Times' A.O. Scott said, "Weisz and Stone are both brilliantly witty and nimble, but Colman's performance is nothing short of sublime," and the Atlantic's David Sims said, "Despite its period setting, 'The Favourite' just might be Lanthimos's most trenchant and relevant work yet."

Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Nearly 10 years have passed since Sarah Connor was targeted for termination by a cyborg from the future. Now her son, John, the future leader of the resistance, is the target for a newer, more deadly terminator. Once again, the resistance has managed to send a protector back to attempt to save John and his mother Sarah.
With a Tomatometer Score of 93 percent and an Audience Score of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this 1991 release is not to be missed. The Chicago Sun-Times' Richard Roeper said, "Even though this movie was made nearly 30 years ago, almost nothing about it feels dated," while Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said, "'Terminator 2' is movie-making on a massive scale, packed dense with spectacular touches that are too many to describe: escape scenes, helicopter stunts and huge explosions."
