Win two movie tickets!!

The first callers after 9:30 a.m. to the Jewish Western Bulletin on Friday, Nov. 28, 2003, will have a chance to win two tickets to preview screenings of Norman Jewison's film The Statement or Jim Sheridan's In America.

There are three double passes available – a maximum of one pass per caller/family – for the advance screening of The Statement taking place on Dec. 10, 7 p.m., at the Granville. There are 10 double passes available – a maximum of one pass per caller/family – to the advance screening of In America, taking place Monday, Dec. 8, 7 p.m., at Tinseltown.

The Statement is a polical thriller written by Academy Award-winner Ronald Harwood. It features Academy Award-winners Michael Caine and Alan Bates, along with Tilda Swinton (Adaptation) and Jeremy Northam.

Caine plays Pierre Brossard, 70, who was once a member of the French milice, the enforcer of the Nazi-collaborating Vichy regime. His crimes include the execution of several Jewish prisoners in Dombey, but he never spent a day in jail. For more than 40 years, he has been sheltered by members of the Catholic Church, but finally, someone is coming for him. With his hunters on his heels, he must try to stay alive and find out who is after him, leading the chase through the countryside and cities of France.

Directed by Sheridan (My Left Foot), In America is a family film starring Samantha Morton (Minority Report), Paddy Considine (24 Hour Party People) and Djimon Hounsou (Gladiator).

Irish émigrés Johnny and Sarah hit the streets of modern-day Manhattan, their two young daughters in tow, and emerge into a realm as comical and adventure-filled as it is scary. The family faces a new future but first they must face down a past that haunts them.

With no cash to spare, Johnny and Sarah settle into a chaotic New York tenement and attempt to turn the dilapidated setting into a true home. While they see America as rife with challenges, dangers and weirdness, their daughters see it as a magical place where anything can happen, a place that might release them all from the anguish of what has come before.
