“The Addams Family 2” is an all-new animated movie that opens nationwide and at Harbor Theater! Morticia and Gomez are distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with "scream time." To bond with the whole family, they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. Their adventure across America takes them out of their element and into hilarious run-ins with their iconic cousin, IT, as well as many new kooky characters. What could possibly go wrong?

“No Time to Die” is the 25th spy film in the James Bond series. It stars Daniel Craig in his fifth outing as the fictional British M16 agent - 007. Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected. Cast includes Rami Malik, Ralph Fiennes, Christopher Waltz. Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga from a screen play by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Fukunaga and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Opens Friday, Oct. 8, 7 p.m. and continues nightly at 7, Sunday at 2 p.m. Rated PG-13, run time is 2 hours 43 minutes. The film continues its run through Oct. 21.
