Captain Marvel (PG-13)- March 8
In the newest installment in the Marvel world, Captain Marvel gets caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races; however, Captain Marvel wasn’t always “super,” Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel’s civilian identity, was an Air Force pilot whose DNA was fused with that of an alien during an accident. The resulting alteration gave her the superpowers of strength, energy projection, and flight. Now it’s up to her to save the Marvel Universe.

Five Feet Apart (PG-13)– March 15
Stella Grant is pretty much your average seventeen-year-old. She’s attached to her laptop and loves her best friends. But unlike most teenagers, she spends much of her time living in a hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient. Her life has always been full of routines, boundaries and self-control, but all of these are put to the test when she meets an impossibly charming fellow CF patient named Will Newman. As their bond grows stronger, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace that attraction, but they can’t be any less than six feet apart at all times due to their illness. Stella gradually inspires Will to live life to the fullest, but can she ultimately save the person she loves when even a single touch is off limits?
