February
    14-15--MEET THE FOCKERS--Comedy, PG-13 for crude and sexual humor, language and a brief drug . reference. 1hr/54 min. Starring: Robert De Niro (as Jack Byrnes ), Ben Stiller (as Greg Focker ), Dustin Hoffman (as Bernie Focker), Barbra Streisand (as Roz Focker ), Blythe Danner (as Dina Byrnes. Synopsis: Now that Greg Focker is in with his soon-to-be in-laws, Jack and Dina Byrnes, it looks like smooth sailing for him and his fiancĆ©e, Pam. But that's before Pam's parents meet Greg's parents, Bernie and Roz Focker. The hyper-relaxed Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woefully mismatched from the start, and no matter how hard Greg and Pam try, there is just no bringing their families together.
                                                                      Showtimes: Mon. 5:10 and Tues. 7:50 pm
   21-22--OCEAN'S 12-- Action/Adventure, Romance, Thriller and Crime/Gangster, PG 13, 2 hrs. 05 min.
Starring: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Brad Pitts Synopsis: It's been three years since Danny Ocean (Clooney) and his crew - fronted by detail man Rusty Ryan (Pitt), up-and-coming pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Damon), explosives expert Basher Tarr (Cheadle) and safecracker Frank Catton (Mac) - pulled off one of the most audacious and lucrative heists in history, robbing ruthless entrepreneur Terry Benedict (Garcia) of every dime stored in his impenetrable Las Vegas vault. After splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean's crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life... but that's proven to be a challenge, much to the chagrin of Danny's wife Tess (Roberts). When someone breaks Rule Number One and rats them out to Benedict, going straight is no longer an option. He wants his $160 million back - with interest - or else. And, as the gang quickly discovers, Benedict isn't the only powerful person in the world looking for Ocean's Eleven...
