upcoming movies

[Robert Roten]

Greetings fellow film fans:
Four new movies open in town this week, including the prequel, "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes", the sports comedy "Next Goal Wins", the horror movie "Thanksgiving" and the animated comedy "Trolls Band Together".

Next Tuesday, Nov. 14, the much anticipated Ridley Scott film, "Napoleon", opens in Laramie. This film, which has already been nominated for an award, stars Joaquin Phoenix as the legendary French general and emperor. Both the director, Scott ("Gladiator" and "Thelma and Louise")  and the star, Phoenix ("Joker" and "Walk the Line") are Hollywood A-listers.

Also opening next Tuesday is the Disney animated film, "Wish".

Some good movies in town include "Killers of the Flower Moon", "The Creator" and "Priscilla".
