At the movies in Kingston: April 5 edition
Welcome back to ‘At the movies in Kingston.’ Last weekend audiences had a chance to believe that elephants could fly. This weekend you have a choice of being frightened or watch a teenager find the hero inside of him.
Here is what is new at the Kingston theatres for the week starting Friday, Apr. 5, 2019.
Landmark Cinemas:
Shazam! is back, and after a successful preview weekend two weeks ago, the DC Universe film offers audiences the chance to see their latest super hero entry. Shazam! is the story of young Billy Batson, an orphan teenager who is given unimaginable power whenever he says the word Shazam. Much like the classic Tom Hanks film Big, Shazam! is billed as an action comedy that is drawing positive responses from the critics.
Pet Sematary is the latest film adaptation of a Stephen King novel, and based on the trailers, it will look to frighten audiences this weekend, and possibly bite into the Us box office. Pet Sematary is about Dr. Louis Creed and his family who move from Boston to rural Maine and discover a mysterious burial ground near their house has supernatural powers. Those powers will have lasting and consequential affects on Dr. Creed and his family.
