Greetings fellow film

Three new movies are opening at one or more Laramie theaters
this week, including one that is getting great reviews,
"Bottoms". Comedies from Hollywood are seldom good, but this
LGB+ high school comedy has gotten a B+ rating at
Rottentomatoes, which is very high indeed. Also opening are a
couple of sequels that are, pointedly, not being shown to
critics in advance, the comedy "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3"
and the horror flick "The Nun II".
Some good movies in town include "The Equalizer 3", "Blue
Beetle", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem",
"Barbie" and "Oppenheimer".
