Here’s what caught our attention:
The Odyssey: Christopher Nolan’s Epic Adventure
If you’re planning a trip to the cinema this weekend, The Odyssey is hard to ignore. Christopher Nolan brings Homer’s legendary tale to the big screen with an all-star cast and the large-scale filmmaking he’s known for.
Whether you’re a longtime Nolan fan or simply looking for a cinematic experience, this is one of those films made to be seen on the biggest screen possible.

Murder 101: A True-Crime Mystery
If you enjoy trying to solve the mystery before everyone else, Murder 101 could be your next weekend watch. The documentary follows a complex investigation that slowly uncovers new clues, making it the kind of story that’s difficult to pause once it gets going.

Ride or Die: Action, Comedy and Friendship
What starts as an ordinary friendship quickly turns into something much bigger in Ride or Die. Debbie discovers that her lifelong best friend, Judith, has been hiding a secret—she’s an international assassin.
