January 11 Weekend Preview

Two highly anticipated movies are released this weekend, Zero Dark Thirty and Gangster Squad. the former tells the story of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden but has received some recent flack about a scene involving torture (that Congress says wasn’t reported). The latter was scheduled to be released last November but got pushed back after the tragic theater shooting in Aurora. Colorado. This was done because of a scene in the movie that portrayed a shootout in a theater.
