Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One
August 25 - August 31
Nothing says pure summer delight more than a perfectly made action movie on the gigantic Cinestudio screen! And who is more qualified to serve it up than Tom Cruise himself, in the newest edition of Mission: Impossible? Channeling the world’s unease with the growth of artificial intelligence, Dead Reckoning Part One’s dangerous villain is a sentient AI intent on infiltrating the major defense and intelligence networks of the world. Enter Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his comrades from a secret espionage force, bidden to destroy what is now called The Entity and its human minions, by obtaining on the missing half of a cruciform key that could shut the evil AI down. Easier than it sounds, as Ethan & Company chase whoever has the key through the UK Lake District, Venice, Rome, and the United Emirates. It’s Cruise’s amazing ability to do his own stunts that gets the most press, but it’s the characters and their resolve to save the world that keeps our interest.

Steven Spielberg ushered in a new genre of kids’ movies rated PG-13 that showed the reality of preteen life in the 1980s: parents splitting, sneaking cigarettes, and using language (just re-watch E.T) guaranteed to shock the socks off Walt Disney. This 80s classic (released in 4K) of kids doing it for themselves is based on a Spielberg story. A group of misfits (the Goonies) band together to stop a developer from knocking down their “worthless” homes. The quicksilver-fast adventure kicks in when they discover a Treasure Map leading to vast riches hidden in a pirate ship…if the nefarious Fratelli crime family doesn’t beat them to it.

32 Sounds is an immersive feature documentary and profound sensory experience from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Sam Green (The Weather Underground) featuring original music by JD Samson (Le Tigre, MEN). The film explores the elemental phenomenon of sound by weaving together 32 specific sound explorations into a cinematic meditation on the power of sound to bend time, cross borders, and profoundly shape our perception of the world around us. Join Oscar-nominated filmmaker Green as he takes the audience on a journey through time and space -- exploring everything from forgotten childhood memories, to the soundtrack of resistance, to subaquatic symphonies -- and experience in new ways the astonishing sounds of our everyday lives. 32 Sounds investigates the mysterious nature of perception and the subtle yet radical politics that arise from sensation and being present in one's body.
