What's In Theaters
What's the difference between going to a bad movie and the act of receiving a terrible present from your significant other?
One you have to pay for, but you're free to walk out of.
The other you get for free, but if you leave, you'll be payin the reeeeeeest of your life.

Sneak Peek @ Next Weekend
Insidious: The Final Key
AKA
"lessons in what not to do when creepy shit starts happening"
WHAT'S THE DEAL?
Fourth (and prequel to the first) in the horror franchise which started in 2011 about creepy things from the otherworldly"the further" that possess and haunt people; continues with the characters from the third film, and includes the only original main character (the parapsychologist) from the first film.
This is probably a 2nd or 3rd tier horror option at this point in a horror franchise, but if it's your thing, it looks to have lots of the gotcha scares that satisfy a dedicated core.
LEARN ME
The franchise is produced (i.e. shepherd and often financed) by Jason Blum who produced a ton of horror movies you know: Paranormal Activity, Get Out, The Purge and others. James Wan who created the SAW franchise helped create this series too.
The series had its peak monetarily with the second film opening to $40 mil and making $83 overall (horror film franchises often peak early). Neither of the two original stars, Patrick Wilson or Rose Byrne starred in last film or this one.
New Trailers!
OVERBOARD - April 20, 2018
Yup, remake of the Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell romantic comedy, cept this time it's less creepy (1987 were different times? /shrug) where working class Anna Faris gets back at rich asshole who fired her by saying she's his fire after he gets amnesia.
MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN
July 20, 2018
Is there a more perfect title? It's Mamma Mia, it goes again, and it also describes the feeling for those who disliked the first and will be forced to sit through the second.
