Houston, We Have a List (of Movies, Not Problems... Mostly)
Howdy, movie lovers of H-town! Ever find yourself staring at the popcorn ceiling (because who actually paints ceilings these days?) wondering what flicks are flickering on the silver screen? Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood movie oracle (who definitely doesn't live in my mom's basement), have the down-low on what's playing in Houston this week.
The Return of the King (or Queen Amidala, Depending on Your Age Group):
Get ready to relive the podracing glory (or suffer through Jar Jar Binks again, depending on your perspective) because Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace is back in theaters for its 25th anniversary. May the fourth... well, you know the rest.
For the Ape-ritif Enthusiasts:
Channel your inner Tarzan (or maybe just channel your significant other who keeps asking you to mow the lawn) with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Just be prepared for some serious existential dread about the future of humanity, all while enjoying some truly fantastic costumes.
Feeling Indie and a Little Bit British?
If., a classic British coming-of-age story from the late 60s, is gracing the big screen. This one's not for the faint of heart, but for those seeking a deep dive into youthful rebellion, this might just be your cup of tea (or crumpet, if you're feeling fancy).
Need a Laugh (and Maybe a Little Eye Candy?)
Hit Man promises action, thrills, and possibly some questionable fashion choices (let's face it, most hitmen probably don't dress like they're going to a gala). But hey, who doesn't love a good action flick with a side of sculpted cheekbones?
And for the Truly Discerning Cinephile (or Those Who Just Want to See Really Cute Animals):
Babes isn't your average documentary. This heartwarming look at the lives of piglets, puppies, and other adorable creatures is guaranteed to melt even the iciest of hearts. Just be sure to bring tissues (because allergies, obviously).
There You Have It, Folks!
So, whether you're a die-hard Star Wars fan, an ape enthusiast with a philosophical bent, or just looking for a good laugh (and maybe a cuddle with your date during a sentimental animal documentary), Houston's got a movie for you this week. Now get out there, grab some popcorn (extra butter, always), and get your cinematic fix!
