“The Meddler” Marnie has a new iPhone, an apartment near The Grove, and a comfortable bank account left to her by her beloved late husband. She has also happily relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles to be near her daughter Lori, a successful screenwriter, to smother her with motherly love.

But when the dozens of texts, unexpected visits, and conversations dominated by unsolicited advice force Lori to draw strict personal boundaries, Marnie finds ways to channel her eternal optimism and forceful generosity to change the lives of others - as well as her own - and find a new purpose in life. Stars Susan Sarandon, Rose Byrne and J. K. Simmons. Rated PG13.

"The Meddler" plays at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 16.

“Weiner” Sexts, lies, and Carlos Danger: watch the wildest political meltdown in recent history as it unfolds. It’s 2013 and Anthony Weiner - still reeling from the sex scandal that ended his political career two years earlier - is back in the spotlight as he mounts an audacious comeback campaign for New York City mayor. But it’s not long before history repeats itself and new sexting allegations leave Weiner and his aides scrambling to contain the damage.

Granted unfettered access to the candidate and his campaign, filmmakers Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg capture a jaw-dropping, behind-the-scenes look at the political machine as it breaks down. Winner of the 2016 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for U.S. Documentary.

“A rollicking and never-dull insider's view of a political campaign that leaves fascinating questions unanswered.”  - Variety

“Miles Ahead” In Don Cheadle’s directorial debut, Miles Ahead tells the story of a few lost days in the life of Miles Davis (Don Cheadle), as he bursts out of his silent period, conspires with a Rolling Stone writer to steal back his music, and relives the years he had with his great love, Frances Taylor. As the official site notes, Miles Ahead is not just about the music. It's about what we all face at one time or another in our lives; questions about who we really are, what we have to say and how will we say it. How will we ultimately be defined and who gets to say so? Closes Thursday, June 16 at 3 p.m.
