 “Book Club: The Next Chapter” - (PG13; 1 hour, 27 minutes) - HELD OVER by popular demand! - The original “Book Club” centered on four older women (played by Hollywood legends Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Mary Steenburgen, and Candice Bergen) who have all attended a weekly book club together for 40 years. During one of their meetings, they read the erotic “Fifty Shades of Grey” and begin to see a change in how they view their personal relationships.

The highly anticipated sequel follows our four best friends as they take their book club to Italy for the fun girls’ trip they never had. When things go off the rails and secrets are revealed, their relaxing vacation turns into a once-in-a-lifetime cross-country adventure. When Vivian (Jane Fonda) gets engaged, the rest of the group gets the idea to throw her a wild bachelorette party in Italy. We see them tour around Rome, taking in the historical sights and meeting attractive men along the way. The foursome ends up in jail before the trailer’s end, so we know there will be no shortage of wild adventures in store! Wednesday, May 17, 7 p.m., Thursday, May 18, 7 p.m., Friday, May 19, 7 p.m., Saturday, May 20, 7 p.m., Sunday, May 21, 2 p.m., Wednesday, May 24, 7 p.m., Thursday, May 25, 7 p.m.

Special Book Club Event on May 18 - Rally your book club members, choose to all wear the same color tops (or some identifying accessory) and join us for a fun evening starting with visiting over wine and cheese at 6:30 p.m. and then enjoy the next chapter for these fabulous women (audience included).

Exhibition On Screen: “Tokyo Stories” - (90 minutes) - One show only! -Directed by David Bickerstaff, this film gives us a thrilling encounter with one of the world’s great art capitals. Based on a major exhibition at the Ashmolean in Oxford, Tokyo Stories spans 400 years of incredibly dynamic art – ranging from the delicate woodblock prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige, to Pop Art posters, contemporary photography, Manga, film, and brand-new artworks that were created on the streets. The exhibition was a smash-hit five-star success and brought a younger and more diverse audience to the museum. The film uses the exhibition as a launchpad to travel to Tokyo itself and explore the art and artists of the city more fully. A beautifully illustrated and richly detailed film, looking at a city which has undergone constant destruction and renewal over its 400-year history, resulting in one of the most vibrant and interesting cities on the planet. Friday, May 26, 2 p.m. 

“Tokyo has a powerful engine that just doesn’t stop. There is an energy, a particular floating power in Tokyo. Whatever happens, this city gets rebuilt again and continues to move forwards.” -Machida Kumi

Coming soon: “Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret” - (PG13; 1 hour, 46 minutes) - When her family moves from the city to the suburbs, 11-year-old Margaret navigates new friends, feelings, and the beginning of adolescence. Effervescent and refreshingly frank about the travails of puberty, this long-awaited adaptation does full justice to Judy Blume's seminal novel. Opening on Friday, May 26.
