What are you watching in theaters this weekend, Friday, February 9?

"Synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes: “In the early evening of August 21, 2015, the world watched in stunned silence as the media reported a thwarted terrorist attack on Thalys train #9364 bound for Paris, an attempt prevented by three courageous young Americans traveling through Europe. The film follows the course of the friends’ lives, from the struggles of childhood through finding their footing in life, to the series of unlikely events leading up to the attack. Throughout the harrowing ordeal, their friendship never wavers, making it their greatest weapon and allowing them to save the lives of the more than 500 passengers on board.”"
Fifty Shades Freed
Skip or See: SKIP. Like hard pass.
Cast: Dakota, Jamie Dornan, Eric Johnson, Rita Ora, more.
"Synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes: “Believing they have left behind shadowy figures from their past, newlyweds Christian and Ana fully embrace an inextricable connection and shared life of luxury. But just as she steps into her role as Mrs. Grey and he relaxes into an unfamiliar stability, new threats could jeopardize their happy ending before it even begins.”"
Peter Rabbit
Skip or See: SEE. The re-imagining of the Peter Rabbit books is a heartwarming tale that’s fun for everyone in the family.
Cast: Rose Byrne, Domhnall Gleeson, Sam Neill, Daisy Ridley, more.
"Synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes: “Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and adventurous hero who has captivated generations of readers, now takes on the starring role of his own irreverent, contemporary comedy with attitude. In the film, Peter’s feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights than ever before as they rival for the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne).”"
