By Tribute on November 27, 2015 | Leave a Comment

The days may be getting shorter, but there’s always time to catch a movie or two over the weekend. If you’ve been missing Rocky Balboa, he is back and in business as a trainer in the movie Creed.

If sports aren’t your thing, there are dramas opening this weekend to choose from: Trumbo or James White. And you could call Victor Frankenstein a drama as well, but you might also want to call it a thriller.

Don’t worry. We’ve got the kids covered too. For them and the kid in all of us, The Good Dinosaur is now playing. Don’t forget the popcorn! ~ Sharon Salsberg

If you are a fan of underdog type sports movies then Creed is a must. Adonis Johnson, son of Apollo Creed (one time boxing foe but longtime friend of champion Rocky Balboa), asks the retired Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) to train him. His father died before he was born, but he has boxing in his blood. Now he has a daunting challenger in the ring. Rocky, recognizing Apollo in Adonis, agrees. Does he have the heart of a boxer like the generation that came before him? Creed opened across Canada on Wednesday. Click here for showtimes, and here for our interview with Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson and director Ryan Coogler.

Find out the answer in this animated 3D family flick, which tells the tale of Arlo, a young Apatosaurus who becomes separated from his parents and siblings and meets a caveboy named Spot. Together, they embark on an adventure to return Arlo home. Click here for showtimes, and here for our interview with Raymond Ochoa, the child actor who provides the voice of Arlo.
