Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie

After their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol pups crash land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. When the PAW Patrol's archrival, Mayor Humdinger, begins recklessly mining the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The PAW Patrol pups are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they've done before. PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is packed with heart, laughs, and stunning visuals, it’s a roaring success for the whole family.

Spider-Man Brand New Day

It's a brand new day for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn't remember him -- and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him -- sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves -- a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn't forgotten them. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is spectacular! Delivering thrilling action, great story, and the perfect mix of emotion, drama, heart, and humor. Tom Holland’s best performance yet as Spider-Man/Peter Parker.
  • Rated: PG (violence, course lang)

Once Upon A Time In A Cinema

Set in a small-town cinema in Ireland during one eventful Friday night screening where everything goes wrong! Over the course of one evening, the film follows the travails of beleaguered cinema owner Earl Clancy as he faces a myriad of disasters, any one of which could sink him. Heart-warming and old-fashioned, Once Upon A Time in a Cinema is a love letter to a peculiarly Irish cinema experience, which was as much about connecting with people as it was about the movie.
  • Rated: PG (coarse lang, violence)

Tony

A 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain travels to Provincetown and stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, setting off a summer that will shape the course of his life. Loosely based on early stories from his memoir Kitchen Confidential, Tony is a poignant and heartfelt tribute to the complex culinary icon, delivering a crowd-pleasing, superbly cast portrait of Anthony Bourdain’s origin story. Dominic Sessa and Antonio Banderas give Oscar-worthy performances.
