This Friday at 7pm the new James Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” is playing. This movie is rated PG-13 for sequences of violence/action, and sexual content and has a run time of 110 minutes. On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the worlds most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano. Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land. In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. On Saturday at 3pm is the animated children’s movie “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa“. This movie is rated PG for mild crude humor and has run time of 110 minutes. Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, King Julien, Maurice, and the penguins and he chimps find themselves marooned on the distinct shores of Madagascar. In the face of this obstacle, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane - sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all - the vast plains of Africa, where the members of our zoo-raised crew encounter species of their own kind for the very first time. Africa seems like a great place… but is it better than their Central Park home? On Saturday at 7pm, the comedy movie “Soul Man” starring Samuel L. Jackson, and Bernie Mac is playing. This movie is rated R for pervasive language, sexual content, and nudity and has a run time of 103 minutes.
