WEDNESDAY MOVIE MATINEE

Sept. 7: McFarland, USA(2015), 129 min., Rated PG.Inspired by the 1987 true story, the movie follows novice runners from McFarland as they build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Kevin Cost-

Oct. 5: The 33 (2015), 127 min., Rated PG-13. In 2010, the eyes of the world turned to Chile, where 33 miners had been buried alive by the catastrophic explosion and collapse of a 100 year old gold and copper mine. Over

the next 69 days, an international team worked night and day to rescue the trapped men as their families waited and watched anxiously for any sign of hope. Based on the book Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar.

Nov. 9: State of the Union (1948), 123 min., Not Rated. When idealistic businessman Grant Matthews (Spencer Tracy) is chosen to run for the Presidency, he is caught between the ruthless ambition of a newspaper owner (Angela
