I’ve been keeping an eye on what movies are playing in theatres around Calgary this weekend. Here are a few worth checking out:

The Globe Cinema has screenings of both The Truman Show (1998) and Children of Men (2006) on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.🧵 #yyc

All good signs so far 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

If you haven’t been able to catch F1 or How to Train Your Dragon, they are making their Plaza Theatre debuts this weekend.

Or if you’re looking for a classic, the Globe Cinema has a few more showtimes for the 40th Anniversary of Akira Kurosawa’s Ran. #yyc

If you’re not interested in the post-apocalyptic, desert destruction of Mad Max, Canyon Meadows has some more absolute bangers to see on the big screen, including:

Tropic Thunder 🪖
The Land Before Time 🦕
Spy Kids 🕵️

I’m glad I’m missed the *discourse* on Licorice Pizza. I’m catching up on some PTA before One Battle After Another and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It did a good job encompassing the unique struggle of trying to figure things out in your teens and 20s. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎥

Checked out Eephus last night and… it might be one of my favourite movies of the year. Bumped it up to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ after I lay awake thinking about it last night. boxd.it/auKhBZ
