"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

(Rated PG-13 for sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images; 138 min.)

Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts as a bit of an outcast, as the warnings he and Dumbledore sound about the return of Voldemort are dismissed as lunacy and chicanery. At least the cute Cho Chang is a pleasant distraction for Harry as the Ministry of Defense appoints a new Dark Arts teacher to influence the thinking at Hogwarts away from the side of Harry and Dumbledore - causing Harry and his friends to form their own magic cabal.

Wed. and Thurs., Aug. 8 and 9, 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

"The Simpsons Movie"

In the long-awaited Simpsons' movie, Homer causes a city-wide ecological disaster (Doh!) by poisoning the city's water supply. The evil head of the EPA forces President Schwarzenegger to bubble wrap the entire city and destroy it - a fate that Homer and the rest of the fugitive family fight to reverse.

Fri. and Sat., Aug. 10 and 11, 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

"The Simpsons Movie"

Fri., Aug. 10 11:30 p.m.

"I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry"

(Rated PG-13 for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, language and drug references; 110 min.)

Four boobs star in this film about two (straight) "Average Joe" firefighters from Brooklyn pretending to be gay to receive domestic partner benefits. Starring Kevin James and Adam Sandler as the flaming couple and Jessica Biel as their legal defender. And no, my math wasn't wrong in the first sentence.

Sun. and Mon., Aug. 12 and 13, 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

"Hairspray"

(Rated PG for language, some suggestive content and momentary teen smoking.)

Astellar cast re-makes that which never needed to be re-made: John Waters' quirky "Hairspray" - the story of a chubby girl who uses a public access dance show in the early '60s as a platform for civil rights … and love. John Travolta cross-dresses.

Tues., Aug. 14 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
