NOW SHOWING Academy Award nominee Best Actor Steve Carell with Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo and Vanessa Redgrave in the true story of the greatest Olympic Wrestling Champion brother team that joins Team Foxcatcher led by multimillionaire sponsor John E. du Pont as they train for the 1988 games in Seoul - a union that leads to unlikely circumstances. “FOXCATCHER” Showtimes: Every Evening 7:30 pm Sunday matinees 2:00 & 4:30 Foxcatcher (2014) Based on true events, Foxcatcher tells the dark and fascinating story of the unlikely and ultimately tragic relationship between an eccentric multi-millionaire and two champion wrestlers. When Olympic Gold Medal winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) is invited by wealthy heir John du Pont (Steve Carell) to move on to the du Pont estate and help form a team to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics at his new state-of-the-art training facility, Schultz jumps at the opportunity, hoping to focus on his training and finally step out of the shadow of his revered brother, Dave (Mark Ruffalo). Driven by hidden needs, du Pont sees backing Schultzs bid for Gold and the chance to coach a world-class wrestling team as an opportunity to gain the elusive respect of his peers and, more importantly, his disapproving mother (Vanessa Redgrave). Flattered by the attention and entranced by du Ponts majestic world, Mark comes to see his benefactor as a father figure and grows increasingly dependent on him for approval. Though initially supportive, du Ponts mercurial personality turns and he begins to lure Mark into an unhealthy lifestyle that threatens to undermine his training. Soon du Ponts erratic behavior and cruel psychological game-play begin to erode the athletes already shaky self-esteem. Meanwhile du Pont becomes fixated on Dave, who exudes the confidence both he and Mark lack, knowing that these are things even his money cannot buy. Fueled by du Ponts increasing paranoia and alienation from the brothers, the trio is propelled towards a tragedy no one could have foreseen. https://youtube/watch?v=8361stZ8n0w
