"Hillhurst was subdivided in 1906, annexed to the City in 1907, and grew as Calgary's population boomed prior to World War I. Many services were needed in the working class suburb and businesses sprang up to meet the demand. One such establishment, a garage, opened for business in 1929. In the mid-thirties, the original use changed. Jim

THIS WEEK'S SHOWTIMES AT THE PLAZA!
I WANT YOUR S*X: Erika Tracy does not hire Elliot simply to work in her studio. She makes him part of the work, until his girlfriend, his roommate and a murder are all caught inside the same frame.
BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S: Holly Golightly is preparing to trade New York for a wealthy future in Brazil when a man from her former life arrives calling her by another name. Paul, the writer upstairs, is pulled into the widening distance between the woman she performs and the one she left behind.
CASTLE IN THE SKY: Joining Ghibli Fest, Hayao Miyazaki imagines a civilization that mastered flight and then disappeared, leaving its machines, gardens and secrets above the clouds. When the lost city answers to Sheeta, pirates and soldiers race skyward, each certain its power is theirs to claim.
OBSESSION: Bear and Nikki have spent years beside each other at a music store, their friendship protected by everything he has never said. A cheap novelty charm removes the uncertainty between them and replaces it with something far more frightening than rejection.
THE INVITE: Joe wants the neighbours upstairs to keep it down. Angela invites them to dinner instead, and before the night is over, a noise complaint has become a proposition that leaves both marriages with nowhere to hide.
