| Muscle Shoals |
As the summer is drawing to a close (I know, we still a have a few more weeks) and wafts of autumn begin to fill the air, Hollywood’s gaze turns to more adult fare. The theaters are no longer flooded with aliens, robots, and caped crusaders but rather with ensemble casts displaying their craft in hopes of some Oscar gold. So whether you choose to check out that indie you heard so much about or the latest big studio release, don’t forget to click on the movie title to view the trailers. We want to make sure you know what you are getting into before you head to the theater.
