“Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” - (PG13; 1 hour, 46 minutes) - Eleven-year-old Margaret moves to a new town and starts to contemplate everything about life, friendship and adolescence. She relies on her mother, Barbara, who offers loving support, and her grandmother, Sylvia, who's coming to terms with finding happiness in the next phase of her life. Questions of identity, one's place in the world, and what brings meaning to life soon brings them closer together than ever before. Wednesday, May 31, 2 p.m. and Thursday, June 1 at 7 p.m.

“We forget how much we wanted to rush to grow up, and also how, once it started happening, we weren’t sure how to adjust to this rattling new normal. Are You There God?, both funny and generous, brings it all back.” - Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine

“Spider-Man Across the Spider Verse” - (NR; 2 hours, 22 minutes) - Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar®-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man™: Across the Spider-Verse. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters the Spider Society, a team of Spider-People charged with protecting the Multiverse’s very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must set out on his own to save those he loves most. Anyone can wear the mask – it’s how you wear it that makes you a hero. Screening at 7 p.m. Friday, June 2;  Saturday, June 3, Monday, June 5, Tuesday, June 6, Wednesday, June 7, Thursday, June 8; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 4.

“On every level, [this film] was a dazzling piece of work – but especially when it came to those eye-popping visuals. The world of Miles Morales and his multiversal Spider-pals looked like nothing audiences had seen before, not just subtly tweaking elements of our own universe (anyone fancy a Koca-Soda?) but presenting it all with tangible comic-book textures and impressionistic flourishes, giving the film a distinct and daring identity.” – Ben Travis, Empire Online

Coming soon: Guardians of the Galaxy - June 16.
