Fridays are a wonderful time of the week for multiple reasons. There is, of course, the weekend coming up so everyone is gearing up for partying or just lazing around or just getting things done, and the day itself has such happy references in pop culture, such as the popular song “It’s Friday, I’m in Love” by The Cure. For cinephiles though, Friday also has added significance since there are always some movies or the other released!
There are some terrific movies releasing this Friday, and you can catch hold of …
