Montauk Movie Series

    The Friends of the Montauk Library movie series begins next Thursday at 7 p.m. with “The Way, Way Back,” a coming-of-age story about a 14-year-old boy’s summer vacation with his mother and her overbearing boyfriend. Toni Collette, Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell, and Liam James star in the film, which the Philadelphia Inquirer called “sly, richly modulated, emotionally engaging, and brutally honest.”

    Future programs, all of which take place Thursdays at 7 p.m., include the animated film “Monsters University,” “The Heat,” a comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, “Kings of Summer,” a comedy that premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, “2 Guns,” an action film with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg, and “Much Ado About Nothing,” a contemporary take on Shakespeare’s comedy. All films are free, with refreshments, and will be shown at the library.
