Movies Opening This Weekend – August 25th, 2017 [videos]

This is an exciting week of movie premiers, with the brightest stars waiting for you at your neighborhood theater. ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ is back in the house, one of James Cameron’s’ best works in the Terminator franchise catalog. You’ll also love ‘Polina’ the touching story of a ballerina who moves into modern dance to take her next step in her career. ‘Polaroid’ is the latest horror film that will make the hair on the back of your head stand up, as those whose picture is taken with this early camera meet their untimely demise.

Imagine you’re a religious pastor sent to a church to ready its closing; now imagine its congregation taking steps to keep the church open, breaking typical stereotypes in order to save the spiritual lives of its parishioners. The film is called ‘All Saints’ and it’s our pick of the week.
