NOW SHOWING The Gambler (rated 15) Mark Wahlberg stars as a reckless gambling-addict in debt to a gangster in this slick thriller. Californian English literature professor Jim Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) is addicted to high-stakes gambling. As a result, hes been running up huge debts at the blackjack table. Now he owes $240,000 to a gambling ring run by impatient Mr. Lee (Alvin Ing), who gives him a week to pay it back. So self-destructive Bennett borrows even more money from gangster Neville (Michael K. Williams), hoping to win his way out of debt. Marking a change of direction from Rise of the Planet of the Apes, director Rupert Wyatt remakes the 1974 James Caan classic, with a gripping new script by William Monahan of The Departed fame. The great supporting cast includes Oscar-winner Jessica Lange as Bennetts wealthy mother and a shaven-headed John Goodman as a menacing loan shark. Rising star Brie Larson plays student Amy, with whom Bennett falls in love.
