Many theaters are still not open in the US. Some have had to close again due to health restrictions being put back in place or simply due to a lack of people coming in. While many big-name movies are pushing their release dates back even further, or choosing to premiere overseas first, a number of movies are still determined to make their way to theaters.
This week sees quite a variety of movie offerings. There is a new Woody Allen film about a young couple who come to New York for a weekend and end up with quite an adventure, a Liam Neeson action film about a former thief who tries to go straight, a documentary about a woman fighting for her husband’s release from prison, a comedy about a grandson declaring war on his grandfather, and much more!
