Johnny Depp, Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, Will Ferrell, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz, and Sam Rockwell will shine on the silver screen this weekend with the opening a few wonderful movies. There’s the sequel to ‘Daddy’s Home’ called ‘Daddy’s Home 2’ starring Will Ferrell, Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg the whole family will enjoy.
For movie fans that laughed out loud while watching ‘Psycho’ or ‘Fargo,’ the film ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ will definitely be on your list of things to see this year; imagine Frances McDormand as the mother of a murdered child who wants to buy three billboards to flush the killer out. It’s a ‘Fargo’ like feel and filthy dialogue that makes this movie memorable.
Hollywood reprises the Agatha Christie classic ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ with our stars of today, but the film we think exceeds expectations is one called ‘Thelma’ the story of a young woman who discovers her super natural powers.
Enjoy the movies this weekend, we always do!
