Just because it’s Thanksgiving week, that doesn’t mean there’s any slowdown when it comes to releases. I am going to enjoy the holiday time with my family, so I am not going to comment on every trailer but I wanted to at least get the list together for your convenience. Happy Holidays!
New In Theaters
Napolean (Nov. 22nd)

I did take a moment to check this one out before Thanksgiving and enjoyed it. Say what you will about Ridley Scott but he has a unique understanding of scope and scale, and he’s got the confidence and conviction to pull it off. However, don’t go into this one expecting Gladiator.
