Call the library to check availability and request these new items:

The Bad Batch (R)
Arlen is left in a Texas wasteland fenced off from civilization. While trying to navigate the unforgiving landscape, Arlen is captured by a savage band of cannibals led by the mysterious Miami Man. With her life on the line she makes her way to The Dream. As she adjusts to life in 'the bad batch,' Arlen discovers that being good or bad mostly depends on who's standing next to you.

Band Aid (NR)
Anna and Ben can’t stop fighting and are advised by their therapist to try and work through their grievances by turning all their fights into song. A story of love, loss, and rock and roll, Band Aid is a witty and perceptive view of modern love, with some seriously catchy pop hooks to boot.



Churchill (PG)

First Kill (R)
In order to reconnect with his son, a Wall Street broker takes his family to the cabin where he grew up for a hunting trip. But the trip takes a deadly turn when they become entangled in a heist gone bad that results in the broker's son Danny, being kidnapped, forcing his father to recover the stolen loot in exchange for Danny's life.

A Ghost Story (R)
A young couple who--after being separated by loss--discover an eternal connection and a love that is infinite. An unforgettable meditation on love and grief, A Ghost Story emerges ecstatic and surreal--a wholly unique experience that lingers long after the credits roll.


Home Again (PG-13)
Alice, a recently separated mother of two, finds her life upended when three young, charismatic filmmakers move into her guest house. But her unlikely new family and a budding romance come to a crashing halt when her ex-husband shows up, suitcase in hand. A story of love, friendship, the families we create, and one very big life lesson: starting over is not for beginners!

The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks (TV-MA)
The true story of Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman whose cells were used to create the first immortal human cell line.






Marjorie Prime (NR)
In the near future, a time of artificial intelligence, 86-year-old Marjorie—a jumble of disparate, fading memories—has a handsome new companion who looks like her deceased husband and is programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance?


Megan Leavey (PG-13)
Megan Leavey is based on the true life story of a young Marine Corporal whose unique discipline and bond with her military combat dog saved many lives during their deployment in Iraq. Over the course of their service, Megan and Rex completed more than 100 missions until an IED explosion injures them, putting their fate in jeopardy.

The Music Of Strangers (PG-13)
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma and other international artists of The Silk Road Project discuss their philosophies on music and culture.







The Trip To Spain (NR)
Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon embark on a deliciously deadpan culinary road trip to Spain to sample the best of the country’s gastronomic offerings. Over plates of pintxos and paella, the pair exchange barbs and their patented celebrity impressions, as well as more serious reflections on what it means to settle into middle age. As always, the locales are breathtaking, the cuisine to die for, and the humor delightfully devilish.
