Night School Has Hart
WEEKEND GUIDE: OCTOBER 2018
Here's a handy guide to what's opening today in a theater near you!
One thing I've learned in my years of film analysis is that if a comedy with two red hot box office draws is any good, it gets a holiday or summer release date. Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart are in premium demand right now and they will definitely put some butts in the seats, but this tale about a group of misfits trying to get their GED looks like a feature length version of a Haddish sitcom that never existed. Remember Fist Fight? With Ice Cube and Charlie Day? This is that. Again.

Smallfoot
This one has kind of a cute premise that could make for a fun Sunday family outing. In this CG animated adventure, the legend of Bigfoot is basically flip flopped as humans are the mythological creatures amongst the yeti community. After a human is found, it turns their world into an uproar as they wonder what else is beyond their village. One small thing, however. James Corden is second billed. Hahaha, NOPE. Never again, sir. I wish I could put you through the same agony that your Emoji Movie performance put me through. I'll pass on this one.

It's Halloween season again, which means it's time for more horror flicks that will make a bunch of money and no one will remember the name of in February. Personally, I hate horror movies(with some exceptions). I hate the feeling of being manipulated by loud noises and cheap thrills. However, I know plenty of people who wait for this season all year. Hell Fest is for them, not me. A serial killer runs wild at a horror themed amusement park. I don't recognize anyone in this movie. But that seems to be the new normal with slasher flicks. So have fun, horror heads!
