Trailer youtu.be/yjrhzeuamcc

With the price on his head ever increasing, legendary hit man John Wick (Keanu Reeves) takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to Berlin. “John Wick 4 barrels along with charming idiosyncrasy. Even when it drags — 169 minutes is a lot of time to fill, even for this masterful crew — the film gamely mixes comedy, action, and drama into one truly satisfying cocktail.” (The Wrap) Action/neo-noir, rated R, 169 minutes, Regal Santa Fe Place 6, Regal Stadium 14, Violet Crown

THE LOST KING

In this inspiring true story, amateur historian Philippa Langley (Sally Hawkins) believes she has made the archeological find of the century: the lost burial site of King Richard III. She takes on Britain’s most eminent historians, forcing them to rethink the legacy of one of the most controversial rulers in English history. “Whatever its inconsistencies, The Lost King is an underdog story that proves a perfect vehicle for Hawkins’ reliably winning screen presence.” (Observer UK) Drama/comedy, rated PG-13, 109 minutes, Center for Contemporary Arts Cinema, Regal Stadium 14

SANSÓN AND ME

Trailer youtu.be/8u7kelpnv1g

During his day job as a Spanish criminal interpreter in a small town in California, filmmaker Rodrigo Reyes (499) met a young man named Sansón, an undocumented Mexican immigrant who was sentenced to life in prison without parole. With no permission to interview him, Sansón and Reyes worked together over a

decade, using hundreds of letters as inspiration for re-creations of Sansón’s childhood — featuring members of Sansón’s own family. The result is a vibrant portrait of a friendship navigating immigration and the depths of the criminal justice system and pushing the boundaries of cinematic imagination to rescue a young migrant’s story from oblivion. Documentary, not rated, 83 minutes, CCAC
