Weekend Pick:
There are options for your movie experience this weekend. Long Shot looks to fill the void of the date movie, while UglyDolls is trying to find success as the family alternative for weekend viewers.
The Screening Room continues to offer a variety of films throughout the week. The World Before Your Feet and Amazing Grace are great options for the cinephiles looking for something more than superheroes.
You can always catch Avengers: Endgame again. No doubt many in Kingston will be going back for a second showing this weekend.
