Now Showing: Jacksonville's Blockbuster Bonanza!
The Illinois Theatre is Jacksonville's cinematic gem, and this week they've got a lineup that'll satisfy every movie mood:
- Calling all nostalgia nerds (and lasagna lovers!): The Garfield Movie is back to grace the big screen! Get ready for a purr-fectly hilarious romp with the iconic orange tabby cat. Just be warned, there might be a sudden craving for pizza after this one.
- Need an action-packed escape? Buckle up for The Fall Guy, starring the ever-charming Ryan Gosling and the ever-badass Emily Blunt. This one's got stunts, explosions, and enough charisma to light up the whole theater.
- For the sci-fi enthusiasts: Witness the rise of the simians in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Just don't blame me if you start questioning your place in the dominance hierarchy after this thought-provoking film.
