Weekend Films: Lightyear, Mid-Century, Moriah's Lighthouse and Spiderhead

It's the weekend, Happy Saturday!

What movies are you watching this weekend? Haven't decided. Well, here are four movies you might want to watch: Lightyear, Mid-Century, Moriah's Lighthouse and Spiderhead.

There's two that are sci-fi: the Disney animated movie Lightyear and the Netflix movie Spiderhead, one that's a romantic comedy: the Hallmark movie Moriah's Lighthouse and one that's horror: Mid-Century. It should be something here that interest you or maybe you'll find something else to watch. Whatever you end up watching, I hope you really enjoy it.
