Movies Opening This Weekend – December 8th, [videos]

Morgan Freeman, Caroline Kennedy, Tommy Lee Jones, and Rene Russo are on the silver screen this weekend, ready to take your troubles away.

In the film ‘November Criminals, a young man conducts his own investigation of a Washington D.C. murder that affects his personality, while in ‘Just Getting Started,’ Tommy Lee Jones revises the trademark Hollywood formula of keeping a witness safe while everything that could go wrong does. Our pick of the week is based on the true story of Tonya Harding and her exploits of winning at all cost in the film ‘I, Tonya.’ Margot Robbie is spectacular in this film and we think it may be the best performance of the year.

Enjoy the movies this weekend, we always do!
