Herbie: Fully Loaded ( 4:35 pm - 6:30 pm )
(2005) Cheerful family comedy which finds the magical Volkswagen Beetle rescued from the scrapheap to help a plucky speedster (Lindsay Lohan) realize her dream of being a stock car racer, when she rides the love bug to victory against a slimy NASCAR champ (Matt Dillon) and saves her widower dad’s (Michael Keaton) struggling racing team. Directed by Angela Robinson, the film manages to capture the freewheeling slapstick fun and blithe charm of the earlier films, while imparting a lighthearted message about friendship, loyalty, honesty, and the bonds of family, which packs enough heart under its hood to make for a satisfyingly entertaining ride. (A-I -- general patronage. (G -- general audience) Showtime (cable)

Gravity ( 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm )
(2013) This thrilling lost-in-space adventure -- directed by Alfonso Cuaron, who co-wrote the screenplay with his son Jonas -- offers up dazzling cinematography and top-notch performances. High above Earth, a Russian missile launched against a spy satellite causes a chain reaction, destroying the Space Shuttle and marooning its only surviving crewmates (Sandra Bullock and George Clooney). What ensues is E.T. in reverse, as our plucky humans -- who were at work repairing the Hubble Space Telescope when disaster struck -- search for a way to go home. Amid the mayhem, the film has another, deeper story to tell, as the nearness of death provokes reflections on mortality and the afterlife. These meditations are used as stepping stones toward a resolution that viewers of faith will find both satisfying and refreshingly pro-life. Possibly acceptable for mature adolescents. Scenes of intense peril and horror, brief gore, at least one use of profanity, a few crude expressions. (A-III – adults) (PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned) AMC (cable)

Tully ( 6:21 pm - 8:01 pm )
(2018) Though it winds up strongly affirming marriage and family life, this comedy takes a path to that positive outcome that most viewers may not wish to follow. As a baby present to mark the arrival of her third child, an already overworked and exhausted mother (Charlize Theron) is offered the free services of a night nanny (Mackenzie Davis) by her prosperous brother (Mark Duplass). Though she hesitates to accept the gift at first, once she relents, she finds that the relief provided by the remarkably gifted, free-spirited young caregiver revitalizes her relationship with her loving but distracted husband (Ron Livingston) and with their two older kids (Lia Frankland and Asher Miles Fallica). Yet all is not as it seems. Some of the moral difficulties inherent in director Jason Reitman’s film, as scripted by Diablo Cody, are offset by its ultimate point. Others are resolved by unforeseen plot development. Still others, however, remain, though mostly in the background. Some misguided values, including implicit acceptance of promiscuity and homosexual acts, strong sexual content involving pornographic images, nudity, marital lovemaking, and a problematic scene of childhood sexuality, a couple of uses of profanity, numerous rough and crude terms. (L -- limited adult audience) (R – restricted) HBO (cable)

The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe ( 3:30 pm - 6:00 pm )
(2005) Captivating live-action fantasy adventure based on C.S. Lewis’ beloved children’s classic set in World War II-era England about four siblings (Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley and Anna Popplewell), who, having been evacuated from London to the home of an eccentric professor (Jim Broadbent), stumble through a magical wardrobe into the enchanted realm of Narnia, where they help the wise and noble lion Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson) defeat the evil White Witch (Tilda Swinton), who holds the land under an icy spell of eternal winter. Seeded with Christian symbolism and subtext, director Andrew Adamson’s faithful adaptation balances spectacle with storytelling while exploring themes of good and evil to capture the childlike wonder that underscores Lewis’ tale. Some battlefield violence, intense scenes of child peril and menace, and several frightening sequences. (A-II -- adults and adolescents) (PG -- parental guidance suggested) Showtime (cable)

We Own The Night ( 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm )
(2007) Powerful character-driven drama set in 1980s New York about a drug-taking nightclub manager (a splendid Joaquin Phoenix) who changes his dissolute ways when his police-officer brother (Mark Wahlberg) is shot -- and their police-chief father’s (Robert Duvall) life threatened -- by the Russian mobsters who control the venue. Writer-director James Gray sustains a taut, tragedy-drenched mood, the action secondary to the human drama. Performances are fine, including Eva Mendes as Phoenix’s girlfriend; and the narrative has an admirable gravitas, marred from a moral standpoint only by a revenge killing that is out of step with Catholic teaching. Sporadic but strong violence, rough language, some crude expressions and profanity, vigilante killing, some grisly crime images, drug use, a sexual encounter and upper female nudity. (L -- limited adult audience) (R -- restricted) Showtime (cable)
