“In the Heights” -  (PG-13; 2 hours, 23 minutes) -  Justin Chang of the LA Times wrote, “At nearly two-and-a-half hours and with a terrific ensemble of actors singing, rapping, dancing and practically bursting out of the frame, ‘In the Heights’ is a brash and invigorating entertainment, a movie of tender, delicate moments that nonetheless revels unabashedly in its own size and scale. … As a musical valentine to a close-knit Latino community, an inspired swirl of hip-hop, Latin pop, salsa and other musical idioms, its pleasures are often glorious, even transporting. It summons — and for the most part sustains — the kind of visual and musical energy that might help give the movies the resurgent jab-in-the-arm summer they’ve been waiting for.”  Final screenings Thursday, July 8 at 2 and 7 p.m

“Dream Horse” -  (PG; 1 hour, 53 minutes) - Experience the inspiring true story of Dream Alliance, an unlikely racehorse bred by small town bartender Jan Vokes (Academy Award nominee Toni Collette).

Their investment pays off as Dream rises through the ranks and becomes a beacon of hope in their struggling community. Also starring Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers & Homeland).  Playing at 2 and 7 p.m. Friday, July 9, Saturday, July 10, Wednesday July 14, Thursday, July 15; and Sunday, July 11 at 2 p.m.
