The Bye Bye Man- When three college students move into an old house off campus, they find a Ouija board.

The students ask to speak with someone who once lived, whose existence they can verify. Despite warnings from the Spirit that this could be dangerous, they persist. They discover a sinister entity who is still alive. The Spirit tells them about the entity, known as the Bye Bye Man, who is now on the way to visit them. When he arrives, the friends try to save each other, while keeping the Bye Bye Man’s existence a secret to save others from the same fate. Hitting theaters nationwide today. Click here for showtimes.

20th Century Women- In 1979 Santa Barbara, Dorothea Fields (Annette Bening) is a determined single mother and divorcée in her mid-50s doing her best to raise her adolescent son Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann) in a time of sweeping cultural change and rebellion. More than anything, she wants to make a good man of her son without the influence of a male presence. The boy’s coming-of-age is further shaped by a free-spirited photographer (Greta Gerwig) living as a boarder in the Fields’ home, and a provocative teenage neighbor (Elle Fanning), both of whom impart the ways of the world and teach him different lessons about love and freedom.
