Three new films opening this week at the Movie Mill

- Leonard Binning Leonard Binning operates the Movie Mill and is a past president of the Motion Picture Theatre Assoc. of Alberta.

This week we are opening three films. First up is “The Old Oak,”

It is rated 14A, has a running time of 113 minutes, and will play daily.

“The Old Oak is the last pub standing in a once thriving mining village in northern England, a gathering space for a community that has fallen on hard times.

“There is growing anger, resentment, and a lack of hope among the residents, but the pub and its proprietor TJ are a fond presence to their customers.

“When a group of Syrian refugees move into the flounderin­g village, a decisive rift fueled by prejudices develops between the community and its newest inhabitant­s. The formation of an unexpected friendship between TJ and a young Syrian woman named Yara opens up new possibilit­ies for the divided village in this deeply moving drama about loss, fear, and the difficulty of finding hope.” – StudioCana­l UK.

Next up is the latest horror from Blumhouse, “Imaginary.”

It is rated 14A, has a running time of 104 minutes, and will play nightly.

“From…the genre-defining asterminds behind FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S and M3GAN, comes an original horror that taps into the innocence of imaginary friends -- and begs the question: Are they really figments of childhood imaginatio­n or is something more terrifying lying just beneath?

“When Jessica (DeWanda Wise) moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaught­er Alice (Pyper Braun) develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasing­ly sinister.

As Alice’s behaviour becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.” Lionsgate,

And finally, for the first time on the big screen, “Luca.”

It is rated G, has a running time of 95 minutes, and will play daily.

“Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Disney and Pixar’s original feature film “Luca” is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experienci­ng an unforgetta­ble summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides.

Luca (voice of Jacob Tremblay) shares these adventures withhis newfound best friend, Alberto (voice of Jack Dylan Grazer), but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.” - Disney
