Movies Opening This Weekend – September 21st, [videos]

There’s a wide variety of films to chose from this weekend, all designed to entertain and amaze you and your family. In the movie Life Itself’ you’ll understand better the ways religion and hard lessons from the street, weave themselves into the lives of a young New York couple. If you loved the film ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West’ then you’ll appreciate the dry humor found in the oddball western John C. Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal ‘Sisters Brothers.’ Left-leaning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore is back with ‘Fahrenheit 11/9’ a look at the current President’s policies and administration, and another documentary worth your time and attention is the film ‘Love Gilda’ an insightful look at the comedian Gilda Radner and her early departure from our hearts.

Our pick of the week is the fantasy-filled ‘The House with a Clock in Its Walls’ starring Cate Blanchett and Jack Black. This whimsical magical film is fun and fresh, safe for the whole family to view.

Enjoy the movies this weekend, we always do!
