If you're looking to alleviate your pre-election day jitters, there are some good films opening this weekend.
The most anticipated release is the film here, and it is brought to you by the team that made for his gump, including Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and director Robert Semeckas.
The film basically takes place in a living room while showing the passage of time throughout the story.
Is the concept interesting? Yes.
Does it sound overly sentimental and like it will tug at your heartstrings? Yes.
Will most people probably like it, even though it is not reviewing well?
We'll see, but probably yes.
Most people don't get too excited about the re-release of a film that came out 11 months ago.
But that's not stopping the studio behind Godzilla minus one, which you can catch this weekend at AMC theaters as part of a 70th anniversary of Godzilla celebration.

Most people who cause a nuclear meltdown while working at a nuclear power plant would likely lose their job, not Homer Simpson.

I guess I should have spoiler alerted that.
If you haven't watched The Simpsons, you've got 36 seasons to catch up on. The show airs Sunday nights on Fox.
Bruce Springsteen is on record as refuting the Forbes info that says he is worth over a billion dollars.

Springsteen says it was never about the money, but always about making great music.
He's done well on both fronts. One of these days, maybe he'll have Taylor Swift money.
