The Hollywood stars are out this weekend, so plan on taking in a movie. Zootopia is an animation film the kids will enjoy, and if you liked to get scared the thrillers and horror will have you at the end of your seat. Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, Charlotte Riley, and Angela Bassett bring perhaps the best script to the silver screen in London Has Fallen, and Tina Fey brings a comedy to your town. You will love this movie. Stay warm, spring must be close at hand!
Enjoy the movies this weekend – I always do!
