Rated PG-13 – FOR MACABRE HUMOR

Plot: PARAMOUNT SCARES and FANGORIA are bringing the beloved Addams Family back to the big screen with ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES!  Join actor David Dastmalchian for an exciting pre-show as he looks back at the history of the film and how our favorite spooky family was brought to life.

ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES returns everyone’s favorite frightening family in a kookier, spookier and altogether ookier story. Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) welcome a new addition to the Addams household—Pubert, their soft, cuddly, and mustachioed baby boy. As Fester (Christopher Lloyd) falls hard for the new nanny (Joan Cusack), cynically suspicious Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) discover she's a black-widow murderess. Though they’re shipped off to summer camp, Wednesday still has a Thing or two planned to save Fester, and the family.

Rated R for sexual content

Plot: Amélie (Audrey Tatou), the heroine of Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s award-winning whimsical romance, is no ordinary young woman. A waitress in a Montmartre, Paris bar, Amélie observes people and lets her imagination roam free. One day, she suddenly finds her purpose in life: to solve other people’s problems. We follow her around a lovingly and vividly photographed Paris of saturated colors, as she engineers offbeat solutions to better her deserving co-workers, relatives and neighbors’ lives…Among them the concierge who spends her day sipping port while communing with a stuffed dog; Georgette, the hypochondriac newsdealer; and the “glass man”, who lives vicariously through a Renoir reproduction. Amélie’s mission to help others is rudely interrupted when she meets a strange, off-beat young man, Nino Quincampoix (Mathieu Kassovitz), who captures her interest, and sets her on a misson to do accomplish something for herself…in the most charming and complicated way possible.

Winner of the People’s Choice Award at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival and nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Foreign Language Film, Best Cinematography, and and Best Screenplay.
