Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Miles Morales is juggling his life between being a high school student and being a spider-man. When Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk uses a super collider, others from across the Spider-Verse are transported to this dimension.
With a Tomatometer Score of 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" has gotten stellar reviews since its release in December of 2018. "The latest entry in a fully saturated genre that somehow, through sheer creative gumption, does something new," according to David Sims of the Atlantic, while Tribune News Service's Katie Walsh said, "The delights of 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' bring a newfound sense of joy and playfulness to the beloved character." The film is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

When Harry Met Sally...
During their travel from Chicago to New York, Harry and Sally debate whether or not sex ruins a friendship between a man and a woman. Eleven years later, and they're still no closer to finding the answer.
With a Tomatometer Score of 90 percent and an Audience Score of 89 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this 1989 release has a strong following. The Hollywood Reporter's Staff said, " 'When Harry Met Sally...' is a beautiful, brainy, touching and lilting romantic comedy that should touch the heartstrings of lovers and those yearning to be in love everywhere," and the Chicago Tribune's Dave Kehr said, "Director Rob Reiner wants to maintain the sitcom sense of comfort and familiarity; he creates types that we somehow already know, slightly out-of-focus images in which we can see ourselves and our friends."
Get a piece of the action at Studio Movie Grill NorthWest Highway (10110 Technology Blvd.), Studio Movie Grill-Dallas (11170 N. Central Expy.), and Studio Movie Grill Spring Valley (13933 N. Central Expy.) on Wednesday, Feb. 20. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
Isn't It Romantic

With a Tomatometer Score of 66 percent and an Audience Score of 54 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Isn't It Romantic" is well worth a watch.
