We're thrilled to open Martin Scorsese's HUGO Friday for a short run at the Vogue. Fresh off winning the Best Director prize at the Golden Globes, HUGO is a major Oscar contender and one of my favorite films of the last few years. It is absolutely a must see film and I encourage you to see it on the big screen.
Meanwhile, YOUNG ADULT ends tonight and the MOSTLY BRITISH FILM FESTIVAL is right around the corner. The MOSTLY BRITISH FESTIVAL PASS is an incredible bargain at $75 for all access to over 25 films and all festival receptions.

"In attempting to make his first film for all ages, Martin Scorsese has fashioned one for the ages."
- Peter Debruge, Variety
Throughout his extraordinary career, Academy Award-wining director Martin Scorsese has brought his unique vision and dazzling gifts to life in a series of unforgettable films. This holiday season the legendary storyteller invites you to join him on a thrilling journey to a magical world... based on Brian Selznick's award-winning, imaginative New York Times best-seller, "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." Hugo is the astonishing adventure of a wily and resourceful boy whose quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform Hugo and all those around him, and reveal a safe and loving place he can call home. -- (C) Paramount
MOSTLY BRITISH FILM FESTIVAL TICKETS ON SALE NOW! $75 FESTIVAL PASS!
The Mostly British Film Festival opens Feb. 2nd at the Vogue and features an ambitious program of 28 new and classic films from the UK, Ireland, Australia and South Africa. Highlights include the U.S. premiere of the Australian film "33 Postcards,'' starring Guy Pearce; the San Francisco premiere of the atmospheric "London Boulevard'' with Colin Farrell and Keira Knightley; and an evening of British Noir headlined by Albert Finney in "Gumshoe.''
Presented by the San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation and the California Film Institute, the fourth annual Mostly British Film Festival will be held February 2-9 at the Vogue Theater in San Francisco with selected screenings February 6-9 at the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael.
The program opens with "Perfect Sense,'' an apocalyptic romance that was awarded "Best New British Film'' at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Ewan McGregor and Eva Green appear as lovers who cling to each other in the face of chaos.
"Route Irish,'' the latest from master filmmaker Ken Loach, closes the festival on February 9. A taut political thriller, it makes a pertinent anti-war statement through the politics of a professional mercenary.
