April 7: THE JERK
After discovering he’s not really black like the rest of his family, likable dimwit Navin Johnson (Steve Martin) runs off and begins a series misadventures in this comedy that takes him from rags to riches and back again. Bernadette Peters co-stars. Buy Tickets.
April 14: RAISING ARIZONA
When an ex-con (Nicolas Cage) and an ex-cop (Holly Hunter) decide to help themselves to one of another family’s quintupelets, their lives get more complicated than they anticipated. Combining influences from Tex Avery cartoons to Sam Raimi horror movies to 1940s B-movies, Joel Coen and Ethan Coen followed up the stylish film noir of their debut, Blood Simple (1984), with this frantic screwball comedy. Buy Tickets.
April 21: BILL & TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE
With only a few days before their high-school graduation, it looks like air-headed rock star wannabes Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) are doomed to flunk all their finals. But aid comes from a very unexpected source: Rufus (George Carlin), an Emissary from the Future. Buy Tickets.
April 28: ZOOLANDER
Clear the runway for Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller), VH1’s three-time male model of the year. His face falls when hippie-chic Hansel (Owen Wilson) scooters in to steal this year’s award. The evil fashion guru Mugatu (Will Ferrell) seizes the opportunity to turn Derek into a killing machine. It’s a well-designed conspiracy and only with the help of Hansel and a few well-chosen accessories like Matilda (Christine Taylor) can Derek make the world safe for male models everywhere.
