The Devil Wears Prada 2

This time we meet Miranda Priestly as she is nearing retirement and reuniting with Andy Sachs to face off against her former assistant turned rival: Emily Charlton.

The Christophers

Julian Sklar was once a star of London’s 1960s and '70s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children, desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger, to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access 8 unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage. Her plan is to complete them, then return them to storage, where they are to be “discovered” upon Julian’s death. Anchored by absolutely stellar performances from Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel, The Christophers is a hugely entertaining, sly caper with some critics already calling it one of the best films of the year.

Last week for Michael

Michael

Michael tells the story of Michael Jackson's life beyond the music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five, to his relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. The film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. This is where his story begins. With incredible musical sequences, an electric performance for Jaafar Jackson (Michael’s real-life nephew), a stellar performance from Colman Domingo (already getting Oscar buzz), Michael is a fascinating and mesmerizing music biopic.
  • Rated: PG (coarse lang, violence)

Silver Screamers

Silver Screamers is a heartwarming and spine-tingling documentary that follows a spirited group of senior citizens who set out to make a horror film, stepping far outside their comfort zones. Led by a local filmmaker, they navigate the challenges of low-budget movie-making with humor, heart, and resilience. Silver Screamers is a joyful celebration of second acts and fearless reinvention.
