Alice Through the Looking Glass
Don’t be deceived by this children’s book title; Tim Burton’s rendering of this classic story is sure to leave chills down the spines of adults and children alike. In this captivating sequel to Alice in Wonderland, Alice (Mia Wasikowska) ventures into the magical world of Underland to aid the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp). The pair will have an undoubtedly entertaining series of adventures as they face off against the ominous Time (Sacha Baron Cohen), who is part human and part clock. Prepare yourself for an unusual and entertaining experience and be sure to buy tickets for the May 27 premier!
Captain America: Civil War
Is it really summer without a blockbuster superhero movie? This year Captain America (Chris Evans) will be facing off against Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) in what is sure to be the fight of the century. Right on the heels of D.C. Comic’s relatively unsuccessful Batman v. Superman, let’s hope Marvel does a better job portraying hero-on-hero drama. Make sure to order your tickets for the May 6 release so you can celebrate summer the right way–by cheering for your favorite superhero!
Finding Dory
How did Dory learn to speak whale? Find out in this family-friendly sequel to Finding Nemo, premiering on June 17! The forgetful protagonist, voiced by Ellen Degeneres, will set out on an adventure to teach us about the meaning of family. Although it has taken almost 13 years for Pixar to make a movie based on the mysterious life of the blue tang fish, the movie takes place only six months after Nemo’s adventure. Degeneres, in a moment of seriousness about this otherwise light hearted film, says: “I think that fish should be in the ocean, it’s what the whole sequel is about: It’s about rehabilitation and putting them back in the ocean … And we have to protect our oceans.” –By Maria Riberas
The BFG
Return to one of your favorite childhood authors with this Disney movie, based of the popular novel by the always captivating Roald Dahl. Watch as a young Londoner named Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) befriends a Big Friendly Giant (Mark Rylance). As Stone Ridge ends its Social Action year focusing on Peace-Makers, the story of an unusually pacifistic giant will remind us all of the power of love and gentleness. On July 1, pick up your younger siblings, cousins, or even neighbors and go to your nearest movie theater to experience the magic of storytelling!

In this raunchy comedy, director Paul Feig is joined by Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth, to bring his fresh take to the classic supernatural comedy. Start practicing your ‘Who you gonna call?’ chants now and pre-order your tickets for the July 15 release date. –By Maria Riberas
