With stars such as Tom Cruise returning to a movie theater with an audience, maybe it's time for the rest of us to finally get out and enjoy the feeling of watching a movie on the big screen and hearing the rest of the audience's reactions as events unfold. Check out all the new movies opening in Canada today! ~Alexandra Heilbron
