This week’s new movies might be a little off-beat and different from some of the usual movie-going fare, but hopefully something catches your interests. This week’s new releases include a drama about a troubled teen to a single mother and how their world collapses when the daughter returns home from school with a tattoo on her arm, a thriller about three women who lead a secret witch cult at a mall store, a comedy about a lost boy in search of heaven, three odd nuns on a mission, and a car powered by God!
