Such is the nature of movies – one week you’re busting ghosts, and the next you’re seeing two legendary monsters battling each other. This week sees the releases of Godzilla and King Kong teaming up together in one movie, an action film about life as a paramedic in a big city on the night shift, a drama about a helpline volunteer who answers calls night in and night out from people from all walks of life looking for a connection, a film about two con men during the Great Depression running an oil scheme, and much more!
