The Bobby Stone Film Series wraps up this weekend with two movies: "O Brother, Where Art Thou" and "Despicable Me."

"O Brother, Where Art Thou," loosely based on Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey," is a crime comedy about three escaped convicts played by George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson.

Their adventures include escaping from a torched barn, joining an outdoor baptism, being drugged by "sirens" washing clothes in the river, helping Baby Face Nelson with a bank robbery, rescuing a friend from a KKK rally and recording a radio song as The Soggy Bottom Boys, which makes them overnight celebrities.

Show times are 3 and 7 p.m., and doors open one hour before each.

In "Despicable Me," wicked villain Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) hatches a plan to steal the moon. Surrounded by an army of whimsical little yellow characters called minions, Gru is ready to carry out his plan when he meets three little orphan girls who want to make him their dad.

Show times are 2 and 6 p.m., and doors open one hour before.

Tickets for either film are $12 adults, $10 children.
