upcoming movies

[Robert Roten]

Greetings fellow film fans:

 

There are four new movies in town this week, and one of them looks promising, for horror film fans at least, "Scream VI". Another film that might not be too bad is "Champions", a so-called heartwarming sports comedy, starring Woody Harrelson. The other two are "The Magic Flute", based on the Mozart opera, and the science fiction time travel adventure, "64" starring Adam Driver."Scream VI" will be showing in both 2D and 3D.

Leaving town this week is "Living",  a drama starring Bill Nighy, which has picked up a couple of Academy Awards nominations, including a best actor nomination for Nighy. Also leaving this week is "A Man Called Otto".

Some good movies in town are "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish", "A Man Called Otto", "Living" and "Creed III".
