Movies Opening This Weekend – October 7th, 2016 [videos]

Although the menu is small this weekend, you’ll love the entrees at your local theater. A young man in middle school who never crossed the line decides to create havoc and mayhem in his middle school only to discover that his friends are all too happy to follow. “The Girl on the Train” is a missing person mystery traveling at a hundred miles per hour, filled with drama and mystery.

Finally, Hollywood chooses to reprise the 1915 epic film of the same name, altering the message and path. The original ‘Birth’ was a despicable silent movie that is credited with re-awakening the KKK to prominence, pouncing on the 1913 lynching of Jewish Leo Frank and the impact of the violence the original seemed to incite.

Enjoy the movies this weekend – I always do!
