Hit the movies!

This weekend at the Palace Twin Theatre the much anticipated movie American Sniper will be showing.

American Sniper (R)

This gripping biography of the deadliest sniper in United States military history, Chris Kyle, chronicles the famous Navy SEAL and his trials and tribulations with war, family and country.

The movie stars four-time Oscars nominee, Bradley Cooper, as Kyle. Cooper was recently nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of the American hero. Sienna Miller plays Taya Kyle, the wife of Chris Kyle.

Plot synopsis from IMDb:

Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who wanted to become a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq. Kyle’s struggle isn’t with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.
