This weekend epitomizes the sprawling state of cinema in 2017 as seven—SEVEN—new films are opening in and around #Buffalo. Four are wide releases so there's a good chance that movie you were waiting on the past three weeks is officially gone. Now which is worth seeing?

To me the choice is easy: Only The Brave Movie. It's the one I picked to see last night and it delivered by giving an honest depiction of true life heroes without the usual overly glorified Hollywood antics. These characters are allowed depth in order for us to feel the tragedy as more than mere news headline. See it at AMC Theatres, Regal Cinemas & Flix Stadium 10.

The other wide releases are love-him-or-hate-him Tyler Perry (Boo 2! A Madea Halloween), another environmental disaster flick (Geostorm), and a thriller that its own director says makes no sense because they didn't have the money to shoot the whole script (The Snowman).

So the ones to keep on your radar are therefore two TIFF 2017 alums in limited release with Mark Felt - The Man Who Brought Down The White House (starring Liam Neeson) and Breathe (directed by Andy Serkis). See the former at Dipson Theatres Eastern Hills or Regal Galleria/Elmwood and the latter at Regal Elmwood.

The rest:
• BOO 2! - AMC, Regals
• GEOSTORM - AMC, Regals, Flix
• THE SNOWMAN - AMC, Regals
• SAME KIND OF DIFFERENT AS ME - Regal Galleria/Transit ... See MoreSee Less

Get ready to see your city on the big screen as Marshall Movie officially hits #Buffalo this weekend. The Chadwick Boseman-starring bio-pic about one of Thurgood Marshall's early cases had its local premiere last week at North Park Theatre as part of the Buffalo International Film Festival and it will grace that theater daily starting today. You can also see it at AMC Theatres & Regal Cinemas Galleria.

If you still have time after showing your support for our resurgence as a Hollywood destination, head over to Dipson Theatres Amherst for what is my favorite new release this week: Professor Marston & The Wonder Women. This gem goes well beyond simply depicting the origins of Wonder Woman. It's a sex-positive true story from an era where sexuality was anything but. Rebecca Hall delivers an Oscar-worthy performance.

Also opening:
• Happy Death Day at AMC, Regals & Flix Stadium 10
• The Foreigner at AMC, Regals & Flix ... See MoreSee Less
