Now that school is starting back up we have an opportunity to show films that are geared more toward the adult patrons. We have several films that we didn’t have a screen for when they opened, so we have some catching up to do. Most of these will run for one week only.

On my short list are Ricki and the Flash, The Gift and Papertown. On my wish list are I’ll see you in my Dreams; Love and Mercy; Me, Earl and the Dying Girl and Far from the Madding Crowd.
