RAISING ARIZONA (1987) | M | 91 MINS
Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, Raising Arizona follows hapless ex-convict H.I. McDunnough (Nicolas Cage) and his eccentric wife Edwina, or "Ed" (Holly Hunter), who long for a child of their own but are unable to conceive. Determined to start a family, they hatch a wild plan to steal one of the quintuplet sons born to the wealthy Nathan Arizona (Trey Wilson) and his wife Florence (Lynne Kitei). However, their scheme quickly spirals out of control when they find themselves pursued by a colourful cast of characters, including a vengeful biker named Leonard Smalls (Randall "Tex" Cobb) and H.I.'s former prison buddies, Gale (John Goodman) and Evelle (William Forsythe). Chaos and hilarity ensues, as H.I. and Ed must navigate a series of outrageous misadventures in their quest to build the perfect family. Raising Arizona is a madcap comedy that showcases the Coen Brothers' trademark wit, creativity, and visual style. Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter deliver delightful performances as the quirky couple at the heart of the story, while the film's fast-paced plot and offbeat humour make it a beloved cult classic.
15 min intermission.
CON AIR (1997) | MA | 115 MINS
Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage), a former Army Ranger, finds himself aboard a maximum-security prison transport plane, filled with some of the most dangerous criminals in the country. With his release from prison imminent, Poe hopes for a quiet journey home to reunite with his wife and daughter. However, when a group of inmates led by the psychopathic Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom (John Malkovich) hijacks the plane, Poe is forced into action to protect the innocent passengers and thwart the criminals' plans. As chaos erupts at 30,000 feet, Poe must rely on his military training and resourcefulness to outsmart the ruthless convicts and bring them to justice. With its pulse-pounding pace, spectacular stunts, and larger-than-life characters, Con Air is a quintessential '90s action blockbuster.
