Christmas is right around the corner, and Hollywood is working hard to give you an opportunity to leave your troubles at the door, if only for a few hours this weekend. ‘SNL’ star Kate McKinnon’s voice portrays the main animated character in ‘Ferdinand,’ which the whole family will enjoy. Patricia Arquette and Rainn Wilson star in an odd comedy about permanent for little girls, and wigs for dad. It’s the most unusual film of the year.
Our pick of the weekend is the latest installment of the legendary Star Wars franchise ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ which features the late Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. This film carries high expectations, and director Rian Johnson and the special effects crew deliver the goods.
Enjoy the movies this weekend, we always do!
