Chase ‘Twisters’ or battle the Empire

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away … a hungry young artist combined his love of samurai movies and adventure serials to redefine blockbuster films for all time. A farm boy, an old wizard, a scoundrel with a heart of gold and his tall, hairy best friend who only wears a belt come together to save a princess from the clutches of an evil galactic empire. Rated PG. Stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and a total of two women with speaking roles. Opening as part of a special weeklong engagement Friday, July 19.

You don’t face your fears; you ride them. A by-the-books climate scientist is drawn out of the office to test a new storm tracking system, only to find herself face-to-face with both a handsome tornado hunting influencer and one of the most devastating storm systems of all time. It’s been 26 years since the first “Twister” film, and all I can think about is how much I miss Philip Seymour Hoffman. Rated PG-13. Stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Bill Paxton’s son James. Opening Friday, July 19.
