A couple of  new movies in theaters this weekend include an action adventure, Gods of Egypt and another inspiring story about the 1988 Winter Olympics. My pick for this weekend is Eddie The Eagle. See you at the movies!

Story: (Gerard Butler) plays Set a merciless god of darkness who thrust Egypt's empire into chaos and conflict threatening the survival of mankind. A defiant mortal named Bek (Brenton Thwaites) forms an unlikely alliance with the powerful god Horus hoping to save the world and rescue his true love a battle ensues against Set that takes them into the afterlife for an epic showdown between the two gods.

Story: British athlete Micahel "Eddie" Edwards (Taron Egerton) is cut from the Olympic ski team and travels to Germany to test his skills at ski jumping. While there he meets up with a former ski jumper Bronson Peary (Hugh Jackman), who now works as a snowplow driver. Impressed by Eddie, Peary takes him under is wing trains him despite the nation counting him out and takes him all the way to the historic 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta.
