"The Magic Faraway Tree" - (PG; 1 hour, 50 minutes) - Adapted from Enid Blyton's beloved classic novel The Magic Faraway Tree, the film centers on Polly (Claire Foy), Tim (Andrew Garfield), and their three children -- a modern family forced to relocate to the remote English countryside. As they adapt to their new lives, the children discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents, including treasured characters Moonface (Nonso Anozie), Silky (Nicola Coughlan), Dame Washalot (Jessica Gunning), and Saucepan Man (Dustin Demri-Burns). At the top of the tree, they are transported to spectacular, fantastical lands, and through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the family learns to reconnect and value each other for the first time in years. Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 2 p.m. (OCAP), and Thursday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.

“For children, the thrill will be in the fantastical worlds where marshmallows grow on trees and a little boy can pilot a plane. But what will buoy adults most is Garfield and Foy’s lovely and understated portrait of marriage as a true partnership.” – Kimberley Jones, Austin Chronicle

"Practical Magic 2" - (PG13, 2 hours, 10 minutes) - Nearly three decades after the Owens sisters first cast their spell on audiences, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return as Sally and Gillian Owens. Back in a world steeped in moonlit mischief, sisterhood, and powerful ancestral magic, the Owens family must confront a dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all. As old secrets resurface and generations of Owens women come together, Sally and Gillian discover that breaking the past’s hold may require more magic—and more trust in one another—than ever before. Filled with romance, humor, supernatural mayhem, and the irresistible witchy charm that made the 1998 original a beloved cult classic, "Practical Magic 2" invites longtime fans and a new generation back into the Owens family for another enchanting story about love, family, and the magic that binds us together. Playing at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 25, Saturday, Sept. 26 and Thursday, Oct. 1. See it at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27 and Wednesday, Sept. 30 (OCAP).

“It’s a sweet movie, sometimes moving, about accepting your family heritage and coming into your own power.” – Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times
