It would appear that in this age and time of the Global Pandemic local theaters are just now starting to open their doors and then ever very so cautiously.
This being the case we still can’t give you an exact idea as to what movie is showing where but, with any luck, we might be back to that by next month.

Need I say it one more time, because of the pandemic most movie studios have grind to a hault and stopped production on most movies. In fact they also stopped the release of most new movies as well so regular folks like us must turn to Movies On Demand now or go to streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, etcetera, etcetera.
  Big movie theater chains like AMC are now offering Movies On Demand where you can go On Line, Register and then Log In and pay to watch some of the latest movies that have been released. It’s not as cheap as watching a new release but it’s as close as we’re going to get right now.
So, what can you watch right now On Line,
  Birds of Prey, Rated R from Warner Bros. Pictures. “”Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)” is a twisted tale told by Harley herself, as only Harley can tell it. When Gotham’s most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside down looking for her. Harley, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya’s paths collide, and the unlikely foursome have no choice but to team up to take Roman down.”
The Invisible Man from Universal Pictures, Rater R. “What you can’t see can hurt you. Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss stars in a terrifying modern tale of obsession inspired by Universal’s classic monster character.
Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister, their childhood friend and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid, HBO’s Euphoria). When Cecilia’s abusive ex commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax.

  Some of the other movies available On Line are, Onward, 1917, the latest Star Wars and Jumanji, The Hunt, Doolittle, The Gentleman and quite a few more.

I had read some bad reviews about J Lo’s performance in Hustlers so I waited to see it for myself. Even though the movie is in no way Family Friendly, I mean, after all it’s about strippers in a club where cash rules and sex, drugs and alcohol fly freely. All that aside the movies has it’s own merits as it spins the story about a crew of savvy former strip club employees who band together to turn the tables on their Wall Street clients.
Personally I though J-Lo is looking a little long in the tooth but then again she is 50. Her vigorous tour schedule is noticeably taking it’s tole on her facial features but she is still stunning none the less and at the peak of good health.
Not being the typical J-Lo style movie I can see why some would question her performance but I found it to be as credible as any.
From STXfilms; “Working as a stripper to make ends meet, Destiny’s life changes forever when she becomes friends with Ramona the club’s top money earner. Ramona soon shows Destiny how to finagle her way around the wealthy Wall Street clientele who frequent the club.”
Hustlers is Rated: R and Runs: 107 Minutes.
Coming this October 18th from Walt Disney Pictures, Angelina Jolie is back as Maleficent. “Five years after the first film, Maleficent’s peaceful life in the Moors takes an unexpected turn when Prince Phillip proposes to Aurora and she accepts. Unbeknownst to all, Phillip’s mother, Queen Ingrith of Ulstead, plans to use the wedding to divide humans and fairies forever. With Maleficent and Aurora finding themselves on opposite sides of an impending war, the two question whether they can truly be a family.
This film is Not yet Rated and No Run Time is available yet.
That’s a wrap for this time so duck into the nearest theater near you soon as you cause there is a whole new world and adventure waiting for you At The Movies.
