This Week At The Reel Deal
By JIM O’DONNELLThe Good Dinosaur opened Wednesday and Creed, Mockingjay, Part 2, The Night Before and Spectre will hold for another week.
I originally was not going to open Creed as I was thinking “what another Stallone boxing movie!” Then I looked a little deeper, read some reviews and watched some trailers. This film might just rival the original Rocky (well almost). The critics are going wild over it and it’s getting a 95 percent rating. Warner Bros. made us open it Wednesday and messed up our schedule so be sure and look to our website for the most updated version.

Los Alamos Daily Post
The Los Alamos Little Theatre is performing its fifth edition of “8×10,” an evening of eight short plays, about 10 minutes long each. The plays come mainly from local and regional playwrights.
