GOOD FORTUNE When down-on-his-luck Arj crosses paths with
winged guardian angel Gabriel, he’s given the chance to switch lives with a
wealthy tech mogul. But the life-swap backfires, and both men are forced to
confront the chaos of each other’s world.
As Gabriel loses his powers and struggles to make things right, the
trio must learn that true fortune comes from within. Good Fortune is funny, heartfelt,
entertaining, and a particularly timely comedy about the pains of the working
class existence. Playing against type, Keanu Reeves is the heart and soul of
this movie. Rated PG (coarse lang, violence, drug
use) 1hr40 Canadian connection: Three of the leads
are Canadian: Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, and Sandra Oh |

THE SMASHING MACHINE In the brutal world of mixed martial arts, fighter
Mark Kerr rises to the top with unmatched power and determination. But behind
the victories, he battles a hidden war — struggling with painkiller

As the pressures of fame and the physical toll of the sport close in, Kerr
faces his toughest opponent yet: himself. The Smashing Machine, a visually
stunning and heartfelt drama. You
don’t have to be into the sport to engage with the characters. Watch it alone
for the stellar performances of Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. Rated 14A (coarse lang 2hrs3 |

REAR WINDOW **Classic
Film Series** A newspaper photographer with a broken leg passes
time recuperating by observing his neighbors through his window. He sees what
he believes to be a murder and decides to solve the crime himself. With the
help of his nurse and wife, he tries to catch the murderer without being
killed himself. Many see Rear Window as Alfred Hitchcock’s best film, as well
one of the greatest thrillers ever made. Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly are
impeccable in it. Rear Window has withstood the test of time, and no facet
has lost an ounce of effectiveness. Rated G 1hr52 |
