Late Shift
This is a whole new kind of cinema experience.

Spirit Untamed
If you have kids (or are a big kid yourself) this new animated film might be for you. Featuring friendship, horses, and baddies with lassos (aka the best kind of baddies) this movie is about a young girl who leaves her home in the city to live in a frontier town. Her life is changed forever when she meets a wild mustang named Spirit. The film was written by Elaine Bogan and Ennio Torresan and releases Thursday August 5. It is rated G.
The Suicide Squad
One of the most hotly anticipated films this year, The Suicide Squad is finally here and we couldn’t be more excited. The film begins at Belle Reve: the prison containing the world’s worst super-villains. They’ll do anything to get out, including joining a super-secret super-shady task force. The collection of cons includes Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin, and Harley Quinn. The squad finds themselves on the remote island of Corto Maltese where they have to trek through the jungle on a mission to destroy something that’s threatening the world. One wrong move and they’re dead. The film was directed by James Gunn and is rated PG15.
