The new year is upon us, and with it a small release of new movies. The very confusing thing about it is that both new movies this weekend have the same name, even if they do have different concepts. One is about a volunteer company of the U.S. Army during the American Civil War sent to patrol the uncharted Western territories, and the other is about a 19th century widow who must make an impossible choice when a foreign ship sinks off the coast of the fishing village she calls home. If neither of those choices pique your interest, hopefully you will still head to your local movie theater to find something that does!
