This week at the Harbor Theater
"White Bird" - (PG13) - From the best-selling author of Wonder, the book that sparked a movement to “choose kind” comes the inspirational next chapter. In "White Bird: A Wonder Story," we follow Julian (Bryce Gheisar), who has struggled to belong ever since he was expelled from his former school for his treatment of Auggie Pullman. To transform his life, Julian’s grandmother (Helen Mirren) finally reveals to Julian her own story of courage — during her youth in Nazi-occupied France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger. They find first love in a stunning, magical world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother (Gillian Anderson) risks everything to keep her safe. From director Marc Forster (Finding Neverland and Christopher Robin), screenwriter Mark Bomback, and based on R.J. Palacio’s book, "White Bird: A Wonder Story," like Wonder before it, is an uplifting movie about how one act of kindness can live on forever. Final shows: Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2 p.m. (OCAP) and Thursday, Nov. 28, 7 p.m.
"How To Train Your Dragon" - Free Family Film - with free popcorn! - (2010; PG; 1 hour, 38 minutes) - This animated fantasy that follows the unlikely friendship between a young Viking named Hiccup and a dragon he names Toothless. Living in the Viking village of Berk, where dragons are considered deadly foes, Hiccup dreams of proving himself as a dragon slayer. However, his world turns upside down when he captures and befriends Toothless, a rare Night Fury. Through their bond, Hiccup learns that dragons may not be the fierce enemies he was led to believe. With Toothless by his side, Hiccup embarks on an adventure that challenges his village’s perceptions and ultimately changes the way Vikings and dragons coexist.
