Movie/TV Picks of the Weekend:
• The box office has been lackluster, but new movies are still hitting theaters this weekend.
• Consider watching 'Ezra' or 'In a Violent Nature'.
• If you prefer streaming, check out 'Jim Henson Idea Man' or 'Eric' on Netflix.
Hello fellow moviegoers. The weekend is finally here and like always, we got you covered.
The movie business is looking grim right now. The kick off movie for the summer, “The Fall Guy,” fell flat on its face and is already on digital.
In addition, this past weekend was absolutely dreadful. “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” and “The Garfield Movie” led to the worst Memorial Day weekend box office in decades.
However, the show must go on. There are still new movies coming out in theaters. The question is: Are you going to watch them this weekend?
