New This Week (2/9/18)

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

Battle Of The Sexes (PG-13)
Based on the true story of the 1973 tennis match between women's champion Billie Jean King and former men's champ Bobby Riggs. As fierce rivals on opposite sides of the court and the gender equality issue, Billie Jean and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the sporting world.

The Blackcoat's Daughter (R)
Joan makes a bloody and determined pilgrimage across a frozen landscape toward a prestigious all-girls prep school, where Rose and Kat find themselves stranded after their parents mysteriously fail to retrieve them for winter break. As Joan gets closer, Rose watches in horror while Kat suffers terrifying visions and becomes possessed by an unseen force.

Blade Runner 2049 (R)
Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K, unearths a long buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years.



The Crown : The Complete First Season (NR)
Follows the political rivalries and romance of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century.






Master Of None : Season One (NR)
Master of None follows the personal and professional life of Dev, a 30-year-old actor in New York who has trouble deciding what he wants to eat, much less the pathway for the rest of his life. Ambitious, funny, cinematic, and both sweeping in scope and intensely personal, Dev's story takes him through subjects as diverse as the plight of the elderly, the immigrant experience, and how to find the most delicious pasta for dinner.

The Ornithologist (NR)
Fernando is looking for endangered storks along a remote river in northern Portugal when he is swept away by the rapids. Rescued by a couple of girls, he tries to get back on track, but as he encounters unexpected and uncanny obstacles and people who put him to the test, Fernando is driven to extreme, transformative actions.

The Square (R)
Christian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His museum's PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for his next show: "The Square." The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis.
