Movies @ Main: Strange Bedfellows & Unlikely Companions

On January 5 the Woodbridge Main Library will begin a Winter Film Series scheduled Friday afternoons at 2 PM that will highlight fascinating, clashing partners and unlikely alliances. The first movie is Mr Holmes, a mystery, with Ian McKellen portraying an aging Sherlock Holmes who solves his last crime with the help of his housekeeper’s young son. On January 12, we will screen The Intern, a comedy with Robert De Niro playing a seventy-year-old widower who decides to become an intern at a fashion website. January 19 will feature Everybody Loves Somebody, a romantic comedy from Mexico, focusing on a successful gynecologist with a troubled love life. Beatriz at Dinner, a comedy-drama about a holistic healer who clashes with a selfish billionaire at a dinner party, will be shown on January 26, followed by The Big Sick, a romance inspired by the real life relationship between Pakistan-born comedian Kumail Nanjiani and American grad student Emily Gardner will be shown on February 2. On February 9 we will present The Hitman’s Bodyguard, an action comedy with Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Gary Oldman. Our series continues with Home Again, a romantic comedy about a 40-year-old divorcee who opens her house to three young, male filmmakers, on February 16. Finally, the series concludes on February 23 with Victoria and Abdul, a film depicting the relationship between a lowly Indian clerk and Queen Victoria.

These films are free and no registration is required. Our films are sponsored by the Friends of the Libraries of Woodbridge Township. Light refreshments are provided by the Woodbridge Library Foundation.
