That's not all that the entertainment industry has to give us either! If you think these will be the only good movies this year- YOU'RE WRONG! Here are a list of great movies to see in theaters this season!
1. Fences
Fences stars Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. This is actually a famous play that they finally decided this year to make into a movie! I'm personally SUPER excited for this one! Denzel Washington just gives the role of "Troy" a whole new meaning. Almost every theater major is going to go out and see this because it's just a timeless classic. Viola Davis is sure to be great as "Rose", as well! Don't miss this!
2. Trolls
Trolls star Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake. In this movie, Kendrick stars as an overly happy troll. This movie was a big reason why Justin Timberlake's single "Can't Stop the Feeling" became so popular/ With their lovely voices, you won't want to miss this! Great for kids!
3. Sing
Sing is a new Blockbuster to hit theaters this season! Sing is supposedly about a theater that's shutting down, so the owner has this idea of a singing competition involving local singers in the city. All these stories happen through the story and eventually come together during the competition. With actors like Seth MacFarlane, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Hudson, Scarlett Joansson, and more! Another great kids movie!
