Sonic the Hedgehog has been racing its way into the hearts of kids and nostalgic parents since its February release and shows no signs of slowing down. The live-action adventure comedy features the bright blue ’90s video game icon on the big screen for the first time as he navigates life on earth with his new human best friend, Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Jim Carrey is in fine comedic form as the evil Dr. Robotnik, who is out to steal Sonic’s powers and achieve world domination. The movie also stars Tika Sumpter, and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.

Infiltrating the CIA is no easy feat — unless you’re a smart nine-year-old who knows how to make a deal.

Sophie promises not to blow his cover if he promises to train her to be a spy. J.J. can teach Sophie how to pass a lie detector test, but can she show him how to lighten up and have some fun?

Director: Gavin O'Connor
Release Date: March 6, 2020
In The Way Back, Ben Affleck plays a former basketball star trying to put his life back together after alcohol addiction costs him his marriage. The story mirrors Affleck’s own personal life — he also struggled with addiction and went through a divorce from Jennifer Garner in 2018. In the movie, Affleck’s character is asked to coach the underperforming basketball team at his alma mater, giving both him and the team a chance at redemption. With Affleck tackling such personal subject matter, this classic underdog story is sure to be an inspiring bet for your March break.
Bloodshot

Director: Dave Wilson
Release Date: March 13, 2020
Looking for an action flick with a twist this March? In Bloodshot, Vin Diesel stars as Ray Garrison, a soldier who was killed on duty and brought back to life as a superhuman by the RST corporation. With super strength and nanotechnology, Bloodshot is a force to be reckoned with. But the resurrection doesn’t come without a price — the corporation has erased Ray’s memory, and he can’t remember anything of his former life. As he tries to piece together his past and avenge his and his wife’s deaths, he learns there is a larger conspiracy at play.
I Still Believe
Starring: Abigail Cowen, Reuben Dodd, K.J. Apa, Britt Robertson, Shania Twain, Gary Sinise

In the mood for something a little more romantic this March? I Still Believe tells the inspirational real-life story of Christian music star Jeremy Camp, who navigates love and loss while rising to the top of the charts. Starring K.J. Apa as Camp, the movie also features Britt Robertson as the singer’s love interest, and Shania Twain and Gary Sinise as his parents.
A Quiet Place Part II
Starring: Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Djimon Hounsou, John Krasinski
Director: John Krasinski
Release Date: March 20, 2020
A Quiet Place showed us just how scary silence can be, and A Quiet Place Part II sounds even more terrifying. The John Krasinski–directed sequel picks up where the first film left off and has Evelyn Abbott (Emily Blunt) and her children venturing away from home to fight for their survival. You don’t want to see this one alone, so bring someone who will let you hold their hand!
The Invisible Man
Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, Harriet Dyer, Oliver Jackson-Cohen
Director: Leigh Whannell
Now Playing
Silence can be scary but so can the things you cannot see. In The Invisible Man, Elisabeth Moss plays Cecilia Kass, a woman whose abusive ex (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) fakes his death and starts terrorizing her. Inspired by the classic H.G. Wells novel, the movie has been updated to reflect modern times and female empowerment, making it a great pick for you and your girl gang. Moss is getting rave reviews for her powerful performance and there will no doubt be plenty to talk about after the film.
