Hours, The / Heartburn (Double Feature)

The Hours

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress (Nicole Kidman) and nominated for Best Picture, The Hours is a critically acclaimed film, based on the Pulitzer Prize winning book, about three women of three different generations whose lives are intertwined by Virginia Woolf's novel, Mrs. Dalloway. Taking place over the course of one day, with one woman writing the novel, one reading it and one living it, this timeless story asks the question: Is it better to live your life for your own happiness or for others? Co starring Miranda Richardson, Toni Collette, Claire Danes, Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Jeff Daniels and John C. Reilly.

Heartburn

Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson are wonderful together in this wickedly funny look at modern romance based on Nora Ephron's acerbic best-selling novel and directed by Mike Nichols (The Graduate, Postcards From the Edge).

Streep plays Rachel, a successful food writer who puts love and mother hood ahead of her career. Nicholson plays Mark, a woman-chasing newspaper columnist who can't quite give up his old tricks. She lives in New York. He lives in Washington, D.C. And if all those complications won't give a relationship Heartburn, nothing will!
