Hollywood delivers a bevy of films that will entertain the curious and the intellectual minded this weekend. If you’re an Elvis fan, ‘The King’ will pull back the curtain on what the death of Elvis meant to millions of average Americans. Vera Farmiga, Christopher Plummer are magic together in the movie ‘Boundaries’ with an elderly man thrown out of his nursing home, and how a road trip brings the entire family closer together. The movie ‘Damsel’ is a perfect Western that features rising stars Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska.
Our pick of the week is the latest installment of the successful Jurassic franchise with ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ starring Chris Pratt, Jeff Goldblum, Daniella Pineda and Bryce Dallas Howard. A volcano becomes active after being dormant for millions of years, causing earth’s earliest creatures to again wander the land.
Enjoy the movies this weekend, we always do!
