IN THE HEIGHTS
This energetic, colorful and dazzling New
York movie honors the diverse Latinx
communities of Upper Manhattan.
Immigrants from Cuba and the Dominican
Republic sing and dance their way through
one typically humid and sweaty summer in
tight apartments, sunbaked alleys, scenic
overlooks, fire escapes and one gigantic
public pool as they ponder important
decisions about their future.
In the Heights
No Time to Die
TOPGUN:MAVERICK
NO TIME TO DIE
Exotic locations are the staple of any Bond
film, and this explosive entry spans the globe
as he is dragged from his idyllic retirement
retreat in Jamaica into one more treacherous
mission. There's the house on a frozen lake
in Norway, the villain's lair on the rocky Faroe
Islands and the M16 headquarters in London.
A breathtaking car chase in the medieval city
of Matera, Italy, sets the wheels in motion
as he rails around the streets in his Aston
Martin DB5 and a spectacular jump from
a Roman aqueduct in Gavina, Italy, that is
perfectly suited for a death-defying Bond
stunt.
TOPGUN:MAVERICK
In follow up to the iconic '80s film Top Gun,
we are taken on a thrilling ride through epic
scenery and practical flight sequences from
the Mojave Desert and Owens Valley to the
dry lakebeds in Bravo 20, Nevada. Aerial
dogfight training and scenes of combat
maneuver above the snow-covered Cascade
Range in Northern Washington and Lake
Tahoe. Scenes on the ground play out at the
Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado,
on the deck of an aircraft carrier, and at a
home in San Pedro—the palm trees and
ocean breeze reminding us that we are in
Southern California.
