Harrison Ford reprises his ‘Blade Runner’ role in the latest installment of the franchise, some 30 years later, while Hollywood begs you to fall in love with the charming woman and Walmart greet who is also deeply in love. There’s a romance or two this weekend, and Idris Elba, Kate Winslet (2 strangers going to the same place for different reasons) crash on a snowbound mountain, using their wit and guts to survive.
Our pick of the week is an animation called ‘My Little Pony: The Movie.’ If you’ve ever owned one, played with one, or wanted one (a My Little Pony) then My Little Pony: The Movie is perfect for the whole family.
Enjoy the movies this weekend, we always do!
