This year is a leap year, meaning that February has an extra day. That extra day just happens to fall on a Saturday, so you can spend at least some of that extra time seeing a new movie this weekend, right? Many of the new movies out are either thrillers or heavy dramas, but hopefully you find something that’s to your liking!
