TYLER’S WEEKLY INSIDER
It truly is hard to believe that October is has almost come and gone. In a few days, our streets will be crawling with little ghosts, goblins and zombies, as flocks of candy seeking children celebrate Halloween. Then we hit November which is normally a slow month for new releases- but not this year! This November will be packed full of exciting and highly anticipated movies including; Maleficent, 22 Jump Street, Expendables 3, Let’s Be Cops, Into the Storm, How to Train Your Dragon 2, If I Stay and Tammy- starring Melissa McCarthy from “The Heat”.
While November will provide plenty of big name titles, this current week packs a punch of its own. Sex Tape, starring Cameron Diaz, leads the way in a week that features a total of seven new releases;
