Monday, March 26th, 2018 at 7pm @ the Rosseau Memorial Hall, the Movie is:
My Cousin Rachel
106 minutes
 A young Englishman plots revenge against his late cousin's mysterious,
beautiful wife, believing her responsible for his death. But his
feelings become complicated as he finds himself falling under the
beguiling spell of her charms.
Storyline
Philip, an orphan, was taken in and brought up by his cousin Ambrose, a
Devon landowner he loves like a father. At a time, Ambrose, who has been
advised by his physician a warmer climate, leaves for Tuscany. There he
meets and marry Rachel, a half-Italian cousin of his. After an idyllic
outset, the situation deteriorates. Shortly before his death, Ambrose
manages to alert Philip: his wife is killing him slowly. Willing to sort
out the truth, Philip goes to Ambrose's place but he does not find
Rachel, who has gone away. Instead he meets Rainaldi, her friend and
lawyer, who does not inspire him with confidence. He returns to his
estate, persuaded that Rachel is evil and is the direct cause of
Ambrose's death. Some time later, Rachel announces her coming.
Determined to welcome her coolly, he is stunned to discover a woman not
only beautiful but elegant, intelligent and sensitive. Instead of
strangling her like he said he would, he falls in love. Madly.

A United Kingdom
111 minutes
 The story of King Seretse Khama of Botswana and how his loving but
controversial marriage to a British white woman, Ruth Williams, put his
kingdom into political and diplomatic turmoil.
Storyline
In the late 1940s, Prince Seretse Khama of Bechuanaland is studying law
in Britain in preparation for his eventual ascension to the throne.
There, the dashing prince falls in love with a white British clerk, Ruth
Williams, and they plan to marry. While they suspect that his uncle,
the Regent, would disapprove, nothing prepares them for the diplomatic
firestorm and domestic political tumult their defiant love would spark.
Now facing a citizenry leery of a white Briton as their Queen, the
international opposition is even more unyielding from the British
holding their land as a protectorate and fearful of South Africa's
racist backlash to this affront to their apartheid domination. Against
all odds, King Khama and Ruth must struggle to maintain their love and
help their people in a land that would become the Republic of Botswana.

133 minutes The adventures of writer Newt Scamander in New York's secret community
of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book
in school
Director: David Yates
Holding a mysterious leather suitcase in his hand, Newt Scamander, a
young activist wizard from England, visits New York while he is on his
way to Arizona. Inside his expanding suitcase hides a wide array of
diverse, magical creatures that exist among us, ranging from tiny,
twig-like ones, to majestic and humongous ones. It is the middle of the
20s and times are troubled since the already fragile equilibrium of
secrecy between the unseen world of wizards and the ordinary or "No-Maj"
people that the MACUSA Congress struggles to maintain, is at risk of
being unsettled. In the meantime, the voices against wizardry keep
growing with daily protests led by Mary Lou Barebone and fuelled by the
increasing disasters ascribed to a dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. At
the same time, by a twist of fate, Newt's precious suitcase will be
switched with the identical one of an aspiring No-Maj baker, Jacob
Kowalski, while demoted Auror, Tina Goldstein, arrests Newt for being an
unregistered wizard. To... Written by

In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. “In the Heart of the Sea” reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down. Based on the book In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick. | | Action, Drama, Adventure |
Motion Picture Rating (MPAA) Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and peril, brief startling violence, and thematic material

From director Clint Eastwood comes "American Sniper," starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter. U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname "Legend." However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world. Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to "leave no man behind." But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can't leave behind. | | Drama, Action, Biography |
