Comment by Dr. Loomis
There you have it the Cinema Releases March 17 2017. Not too many releases again this week with the main release being Beauty And The Beast. So again nothing of interest for me, back to those Blu-rays.
I’m just in the process of reviewing the recently released Jack Nicholson film The Last detail released by Powerhouse films aka Indicator.
