Denzel Washington directed and stars in this adaptation of August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, which centers on a black garbage collector named Troy Maxson in 1950s Pittsburgh. Bitter that baseball's color barrier was only broken after his own heyday in the Negro Leagues, Maxson is prone to taking out his frustrations on his loved ones.

Starring: Denzel Washington, Viola Davis

Release Year: 2016

Rating: PG-13 (for thematic elements, language and some suggestive references)

Running Time: 133 Minutes

Monday, April 10th at 2pm – Sing

School is closed this week so we present an animated film for the whole family. A koala impresario stages a gala singing competition in order to save his theater, and the contest attracts the attention of such musically inclined animals as a harried pig mom, a teenage gorilla, a shy elephant and a punk porcupine.

Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon

Release Year: 2016

Rating: PG (for some rude humor and mild peril)

Running Time: 108 Minutes

Monday, April 17th at 2pm – Easter Parade

In the spirit of the season, we reach back into the Classics for this musical romp. A heartbroken Fred Astaire needs a new dance partner when fellow toe-tapper and love interest Ann Miller quits their duo to go solo. (Where's Ginger when you need her?) Fred teams up with a plucky chorus girl, Judy Garland, and they attempt to step their way to stardom in time for the next Easter Parade.

Starring: Fred Astaire, Judy Garland

Release Year: 1948

Rating: Not rated

Running Time: 103 Minutes

Monday, April 24th at 2pm – Denial

To commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, we present this powerful film. Based on the acclaimed book History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier, DENIAL recounts Deborah E. Lipstadt's legal battle for historical truth against David Irving, who accused her of libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier. In the English legal system, the burden of proof is on the accused, therefore it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred.

Starring: Rachel Weisz, Timothy Spall

Release Year: 2016

Rating: PG-13 (for thematic material and brief strong language)

Running Time: 110 Minutes

All movies are FREE and do not require registration.
