BLAIR WITCH, Release Date: September 16, Rated R

In 1999 The Blair Witch Project, came out. Filmed in a found footage format, it focuses on 3 film students who venture into the woods to document satanic happenings, but never return.

In this new movie it will follow a group of college kids who go out into the haunted woods after one of the student’s sister disappears in them. Horror fanatics, this is the only horror movie coming out this month so don’t miss it.

SNOWDEN, Release Date September 16, Rated R

From Oliver Stone, the mind who brought us films such as Platoon, JFK, and Natural Born Killers comes “Snowden,” the true story of hero/traitor Edward Snowden, played by Joseph Gordon Levitt. In a society where technology is an everyday part of our lives, and the government is trying to be more involved in people’s business, this movie is more relevant than ever. It will be depicting different stages of Snowden’s life from his beginning in the army, to his job as an NSA operative. An A-list cast and a story that is sure to resonate with audiences, this biopic will certainly be something to see as it rolls out into theaters.

Also Starring: Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto, Tom Wilkinson, and Nicholas Cage

QUEEN OF KATWE, Release Date September 30, Rated PG

The most family friendly film on this list is the next movie from Disney. What’s intriguing about this film is instead of Disney going for a commercial success story that would resonate with sports fans and American audiences, it goes for a lesser known story that takes place in Uganda’s largest slum, Katwe. Following Phiona Mutesi, (played by newcomer Madina Nalwanga) it tells the story of how she was trained into being one of the best chess champions in the world. Playing her mother is Lupita Nyongo, this will mark her first live action performance since her Oscar win for 12 Years A Slave in 2014. The movie will also star David Oyelowo, he will be portraying Mutesi’s chess mentor. It’ll be interesting to see how audiences turn out for this film, but is sure to resonate with mothers and families alike.
