Original, ordinary and extraordin­ary hits the big screen

-

This week we are excited to open three great films. I am most excited because none of these films are superhero movies or sequels – which can be so hard to find these days.

First, we have the biopic “Bob Marley: One Love” based on the life of the icon Bob Marley. It is rated PG and has a running time of 107 minutes.

“’Bob Marley: One Love’ celebrates the life and music of an icon who inspired generation­s through his message of love and unity. On the big screen for the first time, discover Bob’s powerful story of overcoming adversity and the journey behind his revolution­ary music.” – Paramount Pictures

Next, we have a documentar­y based on the legendary Canadian actor, William Shater. “William Shatner: You can Call Me Bill” is rated PG and has a running time of 96 minutes.

“From make-believe starship captain to a real-life rocketman, William Shatner has led one of the most unique and best-lived lives on the planet. And while the actor William Shatner may be recognizab­le around the globe, the man behind the masks is even more interestin­g than the iconic roles he’s played. Join Legion M and the acclaimed documentar­y team at Exhibit A Pictures (Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist, Memory: The Origins of Alien, 78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene) in producing this fascinatin­g look at one of the most illustriou­s actors of our time.” – Vortex Media

And last, but certainly not least we have “Ordinary Angels”, a film based on an extraordin­ary true story. It is rated PG and has a running time of 118 minutes.

“Based on a remarkable true story, ‘Ordinary Angels’ centers on Sharon Steves (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresse­r in small-town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed Schmitt (Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters. With his youngest daughter waiting for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to helping the family and will move mountains to do it. What unfolds is the inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels.” – Lionsgate

As we inch closer to Easter, save the date for our next Midnight at the Mill on Sunday March 31st. And don’t forget – we are always open for matinees so if you ever have an open afternoon, let us entertain you!
