At the movies in Kingston: February 28 edition

This week, an invisible man stocks the box office for supremacy. Here is everything new at Kingston theatres for the week starting Friday, Feb. 28, 2020.

People are looking for a good scare, and The Invisible Man is getting great reviews and will compete for top spot with Sonic the Hedgehog. Personally, I enjoyed The Call of the Wild and I would recommend seeing this wonderful love letter to nature on the big screen.
