As a new month dawns, two new features beckon movie lovers of all ages to check them out. A recent favorite is still stomping the ground in a bid for attention, while another offers the pleasures of a walk in the park. Those are just a few of the cinematic delights that are on offer this week. Let's take a closer look.
Fandango At Home

Hardworking house cleaner Ada (Lesley Manville) dreams of one day wearing an elegant designer dress. In Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, Ada heads to France to realize her dream, but is soon faced with new challenges.
Dinosaurs are still stomping the ground and making giant waves in Jurassic World Dominion. The intrepid Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are joined by Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill as they all endeavor to answer the question: Can dinosaurs and humans live together in peace?
Who would believe it? The Phantom of the Open, based on a true story, follows an optimistic dreamer (Mark Rylance) who defies the odds and qualifies for entry into a major golfing championship. His efforts are so woefully bad, though, that he becomes an unlikely folk hero. Sally Hawkins also stars.
