Monday, March 6 at 2pm - Hell or High Water

Texas brothers come together after years divided to rob branches of the bank threatening to foreclose on their family land. For them, the hold-ups are just part of a last-ditch scheme to take back a future that seemed to have been stolen from under them. Justice seems to be theirs, until they find themselves on the radar of a Texas Ranger, looking for one last grand pursuit on the eve of his retirement, and his half-Comanche partner. As the brothers plot a final bank heist to complete their scheme, and with the Rangers on their heels, a showdown looms at the crossroads where the values of the Old and New West murderously collide.

Monday, March 27 at 2pm - Hacksaw Ridge

This is the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, as he believed that while the war was justified, killing was nevertheless wrong. As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector to ever earn the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Starring: Andrew Garfield, Richard Pyros
Release Year: 2016
Rating: R (for intense prolonged realistically graphic sequences of war violence including grisly bloody images)
Running Time: 139 Minutes
