Teenager ‘Charley Thompson’ is used to living a nomadic life, moving from town-to-town in the Pacific Northwest with his grifter dad, with their latest move giving him the chance to work the local stables and form a bond with a spirited racehorse named ‘Lean on Pete’. But when tragedy unexpectedly strikes, Charley embarks on an impromptu cross-country voyage with his trusty equine friend, in the hope of finding some real belonging—only to learn some grim life-lessons before his sobering journey is through.
Directed by Andrew Haigh and staring Charlie Plummer, Steve Buscemi and Travis Fimmel among others.

Before he was an infamous space pirate and hero of the rebel alliance, Han Solo was cutting his teeth under the tutelage of questionable characters and forming alliances with some formidable figures—of both the hairy and caped variety—as Disney brings us the origin story for the galaxy’s most beloved rogue, and the second of their ‘Star Wars’ stand-alone ‘Anthology’ films.
Directed by Ron Howard and starring Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson and Donald Glover.
#TriviaTuesday: A cost-cutting insect-like suit was the early design for the alien hunter in 1987's 'Predator'—unsuccessfully worn by the character's first actor Jean-Claude Van Damme—but it was ditched for a now iconic Stan Winston design at twice the price. Money well spent. pic.twitter.com/pvbTmpgUIB
