With its stunning cinematography and majestic landscapes, this is a winning story you'll want to see on the big screen. Bring the family!

The Eagle Huntress

"'The Eagle Huntress' is all at once an inspiring story for children of all ages to believe that they can do anything, a reflection of the unfairness of gender roles and a rare and unique look at a remote part of the world." - New York Daily News

"It seems impossible to conceive of training wild eagles, with their seven-foot wingspans and razor-sharp talons, yet the Kazakh people of Mongolia have been doing so for centuries. For 13-year-old Aisholpan Nurgaiv, participating in this sacred practice means being the first female in twelve generations of her family to become an eagle hunter.

The Accountant

14A

"'The Accountant', which stars Mr. Affleck as a math savant/marksman/martial artist who uncooks books and kicks backsides, is an effective and even affecting pop thriller." Wall Street Journal

"In The Accountant, a pulpy, peculiar and half-camp thriller that is something other than by-the-numbers, we have Ben Affleck as a bone-breaking bean-counter who is also autistic. Well, we call it autism. Director Gavin O’Connor and screenwriter Bill Dubuque might call it awe-tism, for Affleck’s Christian Wolff is a spreadsheet savant and a butt-kicker.

Sully

"Efficient and effective in Eastwood's experienced hands, 'Sully' has interwoven a crisp and electric retelling of the story of the landing we know with a story we do not." - Kenneth Turan, LA Times

"The moment Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger safely landed his Airbus A320 on the surface of New York City's Hudson River, it became a foregone conclusion that someone was going to make a movie about Sully. That that person turned out to be Clint Eastwood should come as no surprise.
