“Incredibles 2” - Everyone's favorite family of superheroes is back in "Incredibles 2" but this time Mrs. Incredible/Helen Parr (Elastigirl) is in the spotlight, out saving the world, while Mr. Incredible/Bob Parr stays at home with Violet and Dash to navigate the day-to-day heroics of "normal" life. It's a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack's emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone must find a way to work together again which is easier said than done, even when they're all incredible.

Scott must once again put on the Ant-Man suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp as the team works together to uncover secrets from their past.

Mountain” - Only three centuries ago, setting out to climb a mountain would have been considered close to lunacy. Mountains were places of peril, not beauty, an upper world to be shunned, not sought out. Why do mountains now hold us spellbound, drawing us into their dominion, often at the cost of our lives? From Tibet to Australia, Alaska to Norway armed with drones, Go-Pros and helicopters, director Jennifer Peedom has fashioned an astonishing symphony of mountaineers, ice climbers, free soloists, heliskiers, snowboarders, wingsuiters and parachuting mountain bikers. Willem Dafoe provides a narration sampled from British mountaineer Robert Macfarlane's acclaimed memoir Mountains of the Mind and a classical score from the Australian Chamber Orchestra accompanies this majestic cinematic experience. (NR; 1 hour, 14 minutes) Playing at 2 and 7 p.m.  Friday, July 6,  Saturday, July 7, Sunday, July 8, Wednesday, July 11 and Thursday, July 12.
