Summer of Soul Remind Like List
Woodstock wasn't the only iconic New York music festival that took place over the summer of '69, it was just the most televised. Over in Mount Morris Park, the six-week Harlem Cultural Festival brought on the likes of Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, B.B. King, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and other such revolutionary acts, whose performances are seen for the first time in this debut documentary from Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson.

Werewolves Within Past Event Like List
Everything is a little bit kooky in the small town of Beaverfield, from its residents to its erratic weather patterns, but no one is prepared—except they kind of are, because they all have guns—when a stealthy monster (presumed to be a werewolf) shows up and starts leaving dead bodies lying around. The horror-comedy has its cast of bumpkins (Sam Richardson, Michael Chernus, Catherine Curtin, and Michaela Watkins among them) banding together to survive, but the culprit just might be among them.
Living Room Theaters, Southwest (Fri-Mon)
$15

Zola Remind Like List
A'Ziah King, whose Twitter saga of a strip club road trip gone awry went viral in 2015, takes the reins on this film adaptation of the wild true story, which, starring Taylour Paige, fleshes out King's now-famed trip to Florida with fellow dancer Jessica (Riley Keough).
