“Fly Me To The Moon” - (PG13; 2 hours, 12 minutes) -  Sparks fly in all directions as marketing maven Kelly Jones (Scarlett Johansson), brought in to fix NASA's public image, wreaks havoc on Apollo 11 launch director Cole Davis' (Tatum Channing) already difficult task of putting a man on the moon. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as backup, and the countdown truly begins.  Wednesday, July 24, 2 p.m. (OCAP) & 7 p.m. (regular), Thursday, July 25, 7 p.m.

“Thelma” - (PG13; 1 hour, 37 minutes) - Experience a refreshing twist on the action genre with “Thelma,” inspired by director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother. This film humorously re-imagines classic action tropes, featuring an elderly grandmother as the unlikely hero. Margolin’s storytelling, infused with infectious humor, addresses aging with agency. In her first leading role of a 70-year career, June Squibb shines as the determined Thelma, proving she can handle anything, despite the doubts of her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg), and grandson Danny. Opening Friday, July 26, 7 p.m. and continuing: Saturday, July 27, 7 p.m., Sunday, July 28, 2 p.m., Monday, July 29, 7 p.m., Tuesday, July 30, 7 p.m., Wednesday, July 31, 2 p.m. (OCAP) & 7 p.m. (regular), Thursday, Aug. 1, 7 p.m.

“Surprisingly exciting and laugh-out-loud funny, Thelma is a warm-hearted joyride. If anything, it’ll make you really want to pick up the phone and call your own grandma.” – Laura Venning, Empire

“Bouncing along sweetly on a great Pharell Williams score and songs, and animated with real style and verve, Despicable Me 4 is a lot of fun...is colorful and entertaining, and amply proves that there's plenty of life left in this popular animated behemoth of a film franchise.” – Erin Free, FilmInk
