Every 27 years, the otherwise nondescript town of Derry, Maine, finds itself stalked by a monstrous, sewer-lurking circus clown who lures trusting children to unholy demises. With the local adults powerless to act, one local 13-year-old (Jaeden Lieberher)-who lost his kid brother to the creature-bands his misfit friends together for a pursuit that confronts them with their greatest fears. Blockbuster big-screen take on the Stephen King classic co-stars Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, and Bill Skarsg~rd as Pennywise. 135 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Closeted teen Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) was just trying to stay that way as he got through senior year. However, once he fixates on the anonymous online relationship he fosters with a classmate facing the same struggles-and he finds himself blackmailed by a loser (Logan Miller) who screen-caps his correspondence-he, and his circle, have to face up to his truth. Engaging take on Becky Albertalli's "Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda" co-stars Jennifer Garner, Josh Duhamel, Katherine Langford. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.
