Weekend Films: Campfire Christmas, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank and Persuasion

Yay, it's the weekend! Although I'm going to see Thor: Love and Thunder today, there are three new movies that I still want to watch: Campfire Christmas, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank and Persuasion. The first is a Hallmark Christmas movie it's a romantic comedy that centers around a group of friends celebrating the holiday at camp. I'm still not in the Christmas spirit, so I'll tape it and watch it later.

Second is the animated movie Paws of Fury about a dog who wants to become a samurai. This looks like a fun movie, can't wait to see it. Last is the Netflix movie Persuasion which is based on the classic Jane Austen novel. It does seem like there a few changes from the original novel but it still seems like an interesting movie.

So, what movies are you watching this weekend?
