February Movies with Friends

Continuing our series of Movies with Friends, this week we will be showing a children's movie Thursday at 1:30 and an adult movie Friday at 1:30.  

The kid's movie with be "Queen of Katwe."  Living in the slum of Katwe in Kampala, Uganda, is a constant struggle for 10-year-old Phiona (Madina Nalwanga) and her family. Her world changes one day when she meets Robert Katende (David Oyelowo), a missionary who teaches children how to play chess. Phiona becomes fascinated with the game and soon becomes a top player under Katende's guidance. Her success in local competitions and tournaments opens the door to a bright future and a golden chance to escape from a life of poverty.

The adult movie with be "A Man Called Ove."  Ove (Rolf LassgÃ¥rd) is the quintessential angry old man next door. An isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse, who spends his days enforcing block association rules that only he cares about, and visiting his wife's grave, Ove has given up on life. After a boisterous young family moves in next door and accidentally flattens Ove's mailbox, an unlikely friendship forms.

We hope you'll be able to join us for a movie this week!
