Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn, Joan Cusack, John Cena, Diane Lane, and Alec Baldwin will shine on the silver screen this weekend, as Hollywood offers a wide variety of movies for you and your family to enjoy. There’s a body building documentary that reveals the complex world of muscle based competition, two foreign films that are sweet and romantic, and a film featuring Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn who take a romantic vacation together with all of the laughable situations that ensue.

There’s a wonderful film about a woman who gets jilted the night before her wedding, praying for a new husband in time for the wedding, while men in battle are pinned down by a sniper, using only a wall to keep them alive. Our pick of the week is ‘Lowriders,’ a film that will remind you of ‘Fast and Furious’ from a lowrider perspective. This film is compelling and dangerous, uplifting and entertaining.

Enjoy the movies this weekend, we always do!

Lowriders (2016)
(PG-13) 99 min – Drama
Director: Ricardo de Montreuil
Stars: Melissa Benoist, Eva Longoria, Theo Rossi, Demián Bichir

Think ‘Fast and Furious’ meets the lowrider scene and you’ve got one of the most interesting films of the year. A young street artist struggles with his father’s obsession with the lowrider car culture, made complicated with a convicted felon brother and his love for a girl. This film is visually compelling and truly engaging to watch. [watch trailer]

When Amy Schumer’s boyfriend breaks up with her minutes before the two take an exotic vacation, she takes along her mother (Goldie Hawn) and the generational humor is fantastic. Have you ever wanted to take a romantic vacation with your mom? Amy does and the laughs are non-stop. [watch trailer]

Director: Guy Ritchie

Arthur, still reeling from the theft of his birthright, battles his true destiny.

This film is the text book model of good vs. evil, well worth your time and ticket price. [watch trailer]
