BEN IS BACK
Weekdays at 2:50pm, 5:20pm, 7:45pm
Sat & Sun at 12:20pm, 2:50pm, 5:20pm, 7:45pm
19 year-old Ben unexpectedly returns home to his family's suburban home on Christmas Eve morning. Ben's mother, Holly, is relieved and welcoming but wary of her son's ability to stay off drugs. Over a turbulent 24 hours, new truths are revealed and a mother's undying love for her son is tested as she does everything in her power to keep him safe. Watch the trailer.

THE WIFE
Daily at 5:15pm
After nearly 40 years of marriage, Joan and Joe are complements. Where Joe is casual, Joan is elegant. Where Joe is vain, Joan is self-effacing. And where Joe enjoys his very public role as Great American Novelist, Joan pours her considerable intellect, grace, charm, and diplomacy into the private role of Great Man's Wife. Joe is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific body of work. The story interweaves the couple's youthful passion and ambition with a portrait of a marriage thirty-plus years later--a lifetime's shared compromises, secrets, betrayals, and mutual love. Watch the trailer.

MARIA BY CALLAS
Weekdays at 2:30pm, 7:50pm
Sat & Sun at 12pm, 2:30pm, 7:50pm
This documentary tells the life story of the legendary Greek/American opera singer completely in her own words. Through performances, TV interviews, home movies, family photographs, private letters and unpublished memoirs - nearly all of which have never been shown to the public - the film reveals the essence of an extraordinary woman who rose from humble beginnings in New York City to become a glamorous international superstar and one of the greatest artists of all time. Watch the trailer.

THE FAVOURITE
Weekdays at 2:40pm, 5:20pm, 8pm
Sat & Sun at 12pm, 2:40pm, 5:20pm, 8pm
Early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne occupies the throne and her close friend, Lady Sarah Churchill, governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne's ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant, Abigail Masham, arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. As the politics of war become time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen's companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way. ...Read More
