New movies in theaters – Captain America: Civil War and more
By Tribute on May 6, 2016 | 1 Comment
Despite it being Mother’s Day weekend, the film roaring into theaters today that’s bound to draw in the largest droves of filmgoers has little to do with maternal figures and more to do with full-tilt, heavy-handed action.
Captain America: Civil War is gearing up to rock the box office this weekend, loaded with a super-packed cast including Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. For film fans looking to embrace the spirit of Mother’s Day, they can choose between Mothers and Daughters and The Meddler, while those looking to charge up their weekend with a thriller can catch Disorder. There’s also a story of forbidden romance in Natasha, which debuts this weekend. ~Matthew Pariselli
Tensions rise between the Avengers when global governments initiate an act to regulate all superhuman activity because of human casualties in their previous missions. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) feels the superheroes should register, while Captain America (Chris Evans) believes in the principles of freedom and has a clear mistrust of the government. Co-starring Scarlett Johansson and Don Cheadle, among many others, Captain America: Civil War premieres nationwide this weekend. Click here for showtimes.

Always cheerful, Marnie constantly texts, calls and visits her daughter unannounced. Lori attempts to regain control over her life by setting boundaries and unknowingly lets Marnie’s mothering nature loose on Los Angeles. Marnie acts as a mother to everyone until a chance encounter with a new man (J.K. Simmons) signals the start of a change in her life. Click here for showtimes.
