The films this weekend will make you smile and warm your heart. Andy Samberg, Martin Sheen, and Bill Hader pull back the curtains of just how hard it is to remain a pop star after leaving your boy band! A woman is hired to care for a young man who has been dealt a tragic hand in the game of life; so much promise taken away by a tragic accident that has left him a paraplegic. The two discover that love is the answer.
Finally, the Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles work to save the world, but really it’s just another day in the life of our superheroes. The Turtles still have the magic that made them famous over 25 years ago!
Enjoy the movies this weekend – I always do!
