Mission: Impossible - Fallout
I guess there is no limit to the number of impossible missions one person can tackle. Ethan and his team are back at it again, this time working together with some other familiar allies to try and fix a mission that has gone horribly wrong. They are in a race against the clock to set things straight. Even the best intentions can come back in the worst of ways as this team is learning. Get ready to cover your eyes and say, "I can't watch!"

NR | Running Time 2hr 27m | Paramount Pictures | Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Starring:Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, and more!
Hot Summer Nights
Thank all the gods for the return of this beautiful boy to the box office! A summer teen movie unlike any other you have seen. An awkward teenager takes a trip for the summer to the ideal Cape Cod, Massachusetts and ends up getting involved in the very adult behavior of selling drugs. Things spin out of control as his business heats up alongside his relationship with his partner's sister and, of course, the actual weather patterns. Sounds like a scorcher!

Starring:Timothée Chalamet, Maika Monroe, Alex Roe, and more!
The Row
Those of you who might be preparing for your first year of college and are thinking of joining the Greek life might want to stay away from this one. It tells the story of a young girl who is rushing and must endure some of the worst hazing out there. Things become even worse when she realizes a serial killer is also out to get all of her soon-to-be sisters. Sounds absolutely insane but hey, at least there's a better reason for the cruelty in this situation.

Starring:Colin Egglesfield, Dylan Sprayberry, Lala Kent, and more!
Puzzle
Agnes is almost forty and has never gone very far from the immigrant community in which she grew up. All of this is about to change at the start of the film when she receives a jigsaw puzzle as one of her presents. It will take her down an interesting path. Not only will she find something that she is very much in love with (and also happens to be good at), she might also get a little bit of an adventure, too.

And our ⭐️ TOP PICK ⭐️ ...
Teen Titans GO! To the Movies
What starts out as some of the wildest superheroes making a plan for the movies turns out to be much bigger than they expected. The group sees the plethora of superhero flicks and wants their own to become stars rather than sidekicks. They head off to Hollywood to pitch their ideas but instead run into a Super Villain who is interested in pulling them into his evil plan for world domination. Get ready to laugh along with your favorite kids in this one you can both enjoy.
