A League Of Their Own ( 5:45 pm - 8:00 pm )
(1992) In a spirited, often amusing drama about the formation of a women’s professional baseball league during World War II, the narrative follows the course of a season with a team whose odd assortment of players includes sibling rivals (Geena Davis and Lori Petty), a backwoods slugger (Megan Cavanagh), streetwise fielders (Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell), and a washed-up rummy as manager (Tom Hanks). Directed by Penny Marshall, the story uses the baseball diamond as an arena of team solidarity and personal self-discovery rather than as an ideological soapbox, though its feminist perspective is abundantly evident. A few mild sexual references, some vulgar language, and occasional tasteless humor, including a toilet joke. (A-II -- adults and adolescents) (PG -- parental guidance suggested) Showtime (cable)

Unplanned Showings ( 6:30 pm )
The movie Unplanned will be shown at two parishes in the Diocese of Madison:
• Tuesday, Oct. 1, 6 p.m. -- St. Francis Xavier Fellowship Hall, 2947 Thinnes St., Cross Plains. There is no cost to attend, but freewill offerings and diapers benefitting the Women's Care Center in Madison will be accepted.
• Thursday, Oct. 24, 6:30 p.m. -- St. Thomas Aquinas Social Hall, 602 Everglade Dr., Madison. Admission is free, but students under 17 are welcome, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The movie Unplanned is a pro-life, fact-based drama about an abortion clinic director, Abby Johnson, who gradually becomes uneasy about the marketing of abortion and what is really taking place in the clinics.
The film is effective, but unsparing in its effort to convey the full horror of killing the unborn.
All are encouraged and invited to experience this movie.

Cabin In The Sky ( 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm )
(1943) Director Vincente Minnelli’s now-classic adaptation of Vernon Duke’s Broadway hit about Little Joe (Eddie “Rochester” Anderson), an inveterate gambler, torn between the emissaries of God and the devil, while good wife Petunia (Ethel Waters) tries to keep him from the snares of bad girl Georgia Brown (Lena Horne). Despite some period stereotyping, the musical is an incomparable compendium of the top black talent of the period (including Louis Armstrong, Rex Ingram, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, the Hall Johnson Choir), great songs (“Happiness Is Just a Thing Called Joe,” “Taking a Chance on Love”), with a solid, if simplistic, moral underpinning and redemptive ending. Some suggestive elements, gambling, adultery, and murder. (A-II -- adults and adolescents) TCM (cable)

Greta ( 7:00 pm - 8:45 pm )
(2019) A naive waitress (Chloe Grace Moretz), still mourning the recent death of her mother, finds a lost handbag on a New York City subway train and, on returning it, discovers that its owner is a lonely French-accented widow (Isabelle Huppert). The two quickly bond, but all is not, of course, what it seems in director and co-writer Neil Jordan’s psychological thriller, which also features Maika Monroe as the server’s savvier roommate. Moretz and Huppert create sufficient dynamism to elevate the implausible proceedings into a guilty pleasure, and Jordan holds back any bloodletting until a single sequence that’s all the more shocking for the restraint that has preceded it. Gothic fun for grown-ups. Momentary but intense gory violence, a few gruesome images, references to a lesbian relationship, about a half-dozen uses of profanity, several crude and crass terms. (A-III -- adults) (R -- restricted) HBO (cable)
