SUMMARY:Pinecone Cottage Tea House - Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop Afternoon Tea
DESCRIPTION:Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop is a quaint\, very frilly tea shop located in the all-wizards town of Hogsmeade\, known as a popular spot for romantic dates among Hogwarts students.

SUMMARY:Tivoli Theatre Presents - After Hours Film Society - Sentimental Value
DESCRIPTION:CAST & CREW\nDirected by Joachi Trier\nFeaturing Renate Reinsve\, Stellan Skarsgard\, and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas\nIn Norwegian and English with English subtitles\nRunning Time: 132 mins.\nRated R\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMOVIE REVIEW \nReviewed by Karen Gordon | Original Cin \nJoachim Trier Unearths Buried Emotions in a Drama-Oriented Clan \nSentimental Value\, one of the year’s best films\, is an absorbing\, beautifully drawn family drama that walks lightly\, but goes deep. \nDirected by Joachim Trier\, from a script he co-wrote with his writing partner Eskil Vogt\, Sentimental Value is Norway’s submission to the Best International Feature category at the Oscars. Like their previous film The Worst Person In The World\, it might end up in the Best Picture category as well. \nThe film – which won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival\, and was the first runner-up in the International People’s Choice Award at The Toronto International Film Festival – centres around the relationship between a successful film director and his two daughters as they navigate their strained relationship after the death of their mother\, his ex-wife. \nRenate Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas\, are sisters Nora and Agnes.  Nora is an esteemed and talented stage and TV actress.  An early and prolonged sequence in the film is about Nora fighting extreme stage fright at the opening night of a stage production in which she is the star. \nWhen she’s finally able to stride onto the stage\, we see just a few seconds of it\, enough to know that she is a ferocious talent. But how much does that talent sustain her? \nAgnes was also set up early in life to be an actor. As a child she starred in one of her father’s landmark films\, in a role that people still talk about. But she walked away from the family business and all of its uncertainties\, egos and complications. She’s now in a stable marriage and mom to a seven-year-old. \nTheir mother has just died\, leaving them to sort out her belongings\, with all its sentimental value\, to get the house ready for sale. The ownership of the house is in the hands of their father Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård)\, from whom they’ve been semi-estranged. \nWe can see why within a few seconds of his appearance in the film.  Gustav is self-absorbed\, emotionally unattuned and unfiltered\, sometimes saying things to his daughters\, especially to Nora\, that he seems not to recognize as  dismissive or hurtful. \nIn other words\, he’s not consciously trying to be terrible\, but seems to not be able to stop himself from being a jerk around her. \nGustav wants to reconcile with his daughters\, and not just for greater ease of conversation. Although it’s not explicitly stated\, there’s a sense he wants to find his way back\, to build an emotional bridge with them. At the same time\, he’s emotionally walled up. \nAnd so\, consciously or not\, he’s working it out in the way he understands: through his art. He’s written a film based on his own childhood and has written the role of his mother for Nora.  Nora\, in one of the quietest and yet most potent scenes in the film\, refuses. \nSo\, he moves on. At a film festival running a retrospective of his work\, Gustav connects with American actress Rachel Kemp (Elle Fanning) and offers her the part.  Kemp comes to Oslo and they begin rehearsals in the family’s house.  Kemp is a vulnerable serious talent and through their work we see what Gustav could be for his daughters. \nThe house is another character in Sentimental Value.  The film begins with its history and relationship to the family.  This is where the house that Gustav grew up in\, where his mother committed suicide\, where he lived with his wife after they got married\, where his ex wife had her therapy practice\, and where his daughters grew up. The house itself\, is a big sprawling light filled place\, a container of memories\, happy\, sad\, playful\, unresolved. \nIf I’ve made Sentimental Value sound angst ridden and bleak\, then I’ve done the film a disservice. It is neither of those things. Trier has a knack for making movies about interesting characters who are at turning points in their lives\, at a place where their emotional baggage has started to affect or complicate their choices in a way that feels natural and is engrossing.   Just as the house is filled with sunlight\, the issues that the characters are dealing with are full of potential. \nAs in his previous film\, the Oscar nominated The Worst Person In The World  (which also starred Reinsve)\, Sentimental Value is\, at times\, melancholy\, but it’s not melodramatic\, or tragic. Trier doesn’t manipulate us for dramatic value.  There’s a real craft in the way he tells stories. \nHe is amply helped out here by a fantastic\, note-perfect cast\, who bring all kinds of subtleties into their performances. There are things that hang in the air between the characters that give us as much insight as the dialogue. \nThis especially applies to the relationship between Nora and Gustav\, who the film really centres on. Father and daughter seem different and yet emotionally so similar that bridging the gap between them is difficult.  What hangs between them is both a desire to flee from each other\, and a craving for the deep love that neither can express at this point. \nTrier explores this by standing back and letting his actors work.  He’s not looking to give us easy answers. As in real life\, emotional patterns do not resolve easily or quickly. And his inherent understanding of that keeps the film grounded. \nThere’s an emotional honesty and an integrity to the film \nIt’s complex. It’s human.  It is what Trier does so beautifully. Sentimental Value is a sophisticated\, wonderful film\, and more proof that Trier is one of the best young filmmakers in the world.\n​ \n\n\nDISCUSSION FOLLOWS EVERY FILM!\n$7.00 Members | $11.00 Non-Members\nTIVOLI THEATRE\n5021 Highland Avenue  |  Downers Grove\, IL\n630-968-0219 |  classiccinemas.com\nWe apologize—Movie Pass cannot be used for AHFS programs

Her parents are getting a divorce. And she suspects her best friend\, Cat\, may have known the reason for it long before she did. Now Harper and her mom are starting over in a cramped house\, in a new town\, where everything feels unfamiliar\, including the riding barn next door. Harper’s never been around horses before. And no\, she does not want to learn to ride. Then with no warning\, a truck dumps a starved and neglected horse right in Harper’s yard. She has no idea what to do with a live horse let alone a nearly dead one. But one look at the horse’s huge eyes and his skinny body\, and something inside Harper unlocks. The horse is named Phoenix\, she decides. And she will not give up on him. Neither\, it turns out\, will Phoenix give up on her. She doesn’t know it yet\, but this is Harper’s first step—toward new friends\, new challenges\, new adventures. Toward riding. \nAbout the Author:  \nKimberly Brubaker Bradley grew up horse-obsessed in a tragically non-horsey place and family. When she was eighteen and went to college\, she took the reins in her own hands and hasn’t stopped riding since. Kim foxhunted\, competed at mid-amateur levels of  eventing\, and was the longtime “Boss Mare” of the Holston Pony Club for kids in her Tennessee hometown—a big part of her inspiration for this series—all while she was busy writing Newbery Honor-winning novels like The War That Saved My Life and Fighting Words. Kim is a fierce advocate for horses and the value of the human-horse connection. This is the horse-kid series of her heart.

SUMMARY:Two Way Street Coffee House Presents Rory Makem
DESCRIPTION:Two Way Street Coffee House is Chicagoland’s most beloved folk and acoustic music venue\, presenting weekly concerts and community events for over 55 years!  The show starts at 8pm (CT) and the doors open at 7:30pm. (Suggested donation $10\, cash or Paypal).  We will also host this concert virtually.  You may access the livestream on www.twowaystreet.org\, on our Facebook page\, or on our YouTube channel. \nOn Friday\, March 6\, 2026 Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series presents Rory Makem. \nA seasoned performer with over 35 years on the road\, Rory has toured extensively with The Makem Brothers\, and the Makem and Spain Brothers and for 17 years played guitar with his father\, Tommy Makem. He has played sold-out venues\, festivals\, and theaters throughout the United States\, Canada\, England\, Scotland and Ireland. At his best on stage\, Rory captivates his audiences with charisma\, passion for the songs\, poetry\, history\, humor and skilled musicianship. \nThe love of song runs deep in the family. Continuing a legacy handed down from his Grandmother\, the legendary source singer Sarah Makem\, Rory pulls the songs of the worker\, the sailor\, the lovers\, the fighters and the land from the pages of history and breathes life into them. An adept interpreter of folk songs\, he masterfully accompanies himself on guitar\, banjo\, mandolin or bouzouki. \nNot limiting himself to the stage\, Rory has played on movie soundtracks including A Fool and His Money\, and The Lightkeeper. His compositions can be heard as the backdrop for PBS series as diverse as Tommy Tang’s Modern Thai Cuisine to It’s an Age Thing\, to Simply Painting. \nLearning from those that came before you is the essence of folk music and Rory has had the great honor to learn from the best. Of course there were the many years at his father’s side… absorbing the master at his craft. He has also recorded with some luminaries of modern folk music; Tom Paxton\, Noel Paul Stookey\, Bill Staines\, Eric Weissberg\, Roger McGuinn\, Dave Mallett\, Gordon Bok\, Jonathan Edwards\, Rick and Ron Shaw\, and Schooner Fare. \nThrough more than a quarter century of plying his craft\, Rory has established himself as one of the leading forces in the song tradition of Irish music… and so… the tradition continues. \nIf you can’t join us in person\, you can still tune in virtually to catch the show!  Make your donation HERE to Rory.  Visit www.twowaystreet.org for more information.
