“Arthur The King” - (PG13; 1 hour, 30 minutes) - Over the course of 10 days and 435 miles, an unbreakable bond is forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light (Mark Wahlberg) and a scrappy street dog companion dubbed Arthur. Based on an incredible true story, “Arthur The King” follows Light, desperate for one last chance to win, as he convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes (Simu Liu, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Ali Suliman) for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. As the team is pushed to their outer limits of endurance in the race, Arthur redefines what victory, loyalty and friendship truly mean. Wednesday, April 24 at 2 p.m. (OCAP); Thursday, April 25, 7 p.m.

“Civil War” -  (R; 1 hour, 49 minutes) -  In the 2024 dystopian action film “Civil War,” written and directed by Alex Garland, a team of journalists embarks on a perilous journey across a fractured United States engulfed in the Second American Civil War. Led by Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Nick Offerman, they traverse the nation, racing against time to reach Washington, D.C., before rebel factions seize control of the White House. Opening Friday, April 26, 7 p.m., Saturday, April 27, 7 p.m., Sunday, April 28, 2 p.m., Wednesday, May 1, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, May 2, 7 p.m.

"Frightening, even-tempered, and disarmingly humane, Civil War is intelligent precision filmmaking trained on an impossible subject." – Rocco T. Thompson, Slant Magazine

"It’s a film about the open-ended question of how much humanity we as a species have left in us, and that makes it a provocative, thrilling monster of a movie that will sear itself into your eyeballs." – Matthew Jackson, AV Club

Coming soon: “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” - Based upon recently declassified files of the British War Department and inspired by true events. This action-comedy tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials, including author Ian Fleming. The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques.
