MOLLY'S GAME

November 22

Wonder

November 17

August “Auggie“ Pullman (Jacob Trembley) was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school — until now. He's about to start fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid then you know how hard that can be. The thing is, Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?

Based on the book of the same name by R.J. Palacio which I recently finished reading with my son, this is a must see for the whole family. And if you have school-age children who haven't yet read this amazing story, I highly recommend that you read it with them.

MOLLY'S GAME is the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.
