Movies: The Lincoln Lawyer and Just Go With It

In “The Lincoln Lawyer,” Matthew McConaughey stars as a defense lawyer who represents run-of-the-mill criminals out of the back of his Lincoln sedan. When he takes on a case that can take him to the big time, he unknowingly puts his moral scruples, and possibly his life, in grave danger. 

On a lighter note, Adam Sandler plays a disingenuous plastic surgeon attempting to woo a beautiful younger woman in his latest comedy, “Just Go with It.” Starring alongside Jennifer Aniston and Brooklyn Decker (in her first role on the silver screen), Sandler lies himself into a corner to win the woman of his dreams.

Thursday  through Saturday, 11:30 p.m. & 12 a.m.

Garden Theatre

Film: Rain Man
