Well it’s almost June, it’s not quite summer yet, but we’re getting there! The good news, we’ve made it to another weekend! And another weekend means more movies!
And it’s not just any weekend, it’s Memorial Day weekend. While I will always encourage you to go to go watch a good movie, I also encourage you to take some time to remember those who died serving in the United States armed forces.
So here’s what’s coming out Friday May 27th:
