March 5th at 1p.m. – Sunshine Cleaning. A
thirty something single mother whose boundless potential was squandered through
a series of failed relationships and a misguided effort to help her younger
sister succeed in life finds the fruits of her labors finally coming together in
this dark family comedy. Back in high school, the future looked pretty bright
for Rose Lorkowski (Amy Adams); not only was she the cheerleading captain, but
she was also dating the star quarterback. Flash forward a little over a decade,
and Rose is working overtime in hopes of getting her son into a better school.
Her sister, Norah (Emily Blunt), is still living at home with their father, Joe
(Alan Arkin), a failed salesman whose penchant for jumping into get-rich-quick
schemes has left the family broke. Rose may be down, but she certainly isn't
out, and when she hatches a plan to launch a crime-scene cleanup business, the
money starts rolling in. Sure, cleaning up murder scenes and suicide sites may
not be the most glamorous job in the world, but death is a fairly profitable
business, and as the phone keeps ringing. Friday,
March 12th at 12:30p.m. –Confessions
of a Shopaholic . A
shopaholic whose spending has buried her in debt lands a job giving financial
advice and she quickly becomes the toast of the town. Meanwhile, her bank
account is still empty, and her love life and career are in jeopardy. Almost
bankrupt, she begins to reassess her priorities in life. ******************************************************************* Exercise
