Hollywood and Films are synonymous with one another.

From little known art house films, to niche, and even a Studio Ghibli fest are included in our breakdown. Let us know which movies you plan on catching this month. Take a date, or go on your own. We love a little me time, with perfectly buttered popcorn and a great movie.
