This Week In Movies: ‘Ghost In The Shell,’ ‘The Boss Baby’

03.27.2017 | By |

It is a very feeble week for movies. There are only five films releasing this week. That is a head-scratcher and perhaps one of the few times that five films come out in a single week. Nevertheless, Scarlett Johansson’s Ghost in the Shell is the biggest release this weekend. It has the star power, the budget and the distribution release. It comes with some controversy though (whitewashing is mentioned), but it does look fun! Enjoy the trailers and listen to our podcast for our in-depth reviews of this week’s releases and more!

 INDIE & LIMITED RELEASES

God Knows Where I Am (1h 37m, Documentary, Biography, Drama)
Director: Jedd Wider, Todd Wider

As her story unfolds from different perspectives, including her own, we learn about our systemic failure to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
