MUST WATCH
Groundhog Day Screening
(2/2-2/3) Yes, you’ve probably seen this movie as many times is Bill Murray’s character relives the same day, but have you seen it on the big screen?

Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow and make us suffer six more weeks of winter? We hope not. $5 for matinee, $8 for evening. Central Cinema 1411 21st Ave.; central-cinema.com
