Napoleon (Released 11/22/23)

Thanksgiving (11/17/23)

Trolls: Band Together (Released 11/17/23)
There is an acid trip clip that was wild to see in 3-D. I didn’t want to see it in 3-D, that was just the showing at the time I wanted to...

Hunger Games: A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (released 11/17/23)
