Weekend Pick
The Oscars are this weekend and now would be the time to catch up on any last-minute viewings of the films nominated for Best Picture for this year. The Screening Room is your best place to catch as many Oscar nominated films in one location.
Birds of Prey will no doubt reign supreme at the box office and take the top spot.
Enjoy the week, and whatever film you see, whether its Oscar nominated or a comic book adaptation, enjoy the show.
