May 7
St. Frinatra

Veteran jazz man Brian Sharp and pals run the gamut of the greats—Miles, Monk and Duke—but always harken back to the Sinatra-style lounge scene that is their true inspiration.
Special Cocktail: May Day

Magnolia at the Modern
May 7–9
The Secret of Kells

Friday 6 and 8 pm, Saturday 5 pm, Sunday 2 and 4 pm

“It is only fitting that a movie concerned with the power and beauty of drawing—the almost sacred magic of color and line—should be so gorgeously and intricately drawn.” A.O. Scott, The New York Times. Magic, fantasy, and Celtic mythology come together in a riot of color and detail that dazzle the eyes, in this story about the power of imagination and faith to carry humanity through dark times. The Secret of Kells was a nominee for the 2010 Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.
