Your 5 best bets for movies this weekend
DATE NIGHT
A young Irish immigrant (Saoirse Ronan) navigates 1950s New York — and falls for two very different suitors — in the delightful coming-of-age romance "Brooklyn."
FAMILY FUN
It became a TV ritual once it slipped into the public domain, but here's your chance to see "It's a Wonderful Life" on the big screen where it belongs. It's playing at 2 p.m. Sunday and 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday at The Orleans, Sam's Town, Santa Fe, South Point and Suncoast.
FOR FRIENDS
Members of the gang from "Mystery Science Theater 3000" goof on the bizarre holiday tale "Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny" as part of the latest RiffTrax Live event. See it at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Colonnade, the Orleans, Sam's Town, Santa Fe, South Point and Village Square.
SOLO TRIP
You won't need anyone else to help you enjoy "Creed," the thrilling sequel/spinoff that's the best "Rocky" movie since the original. Besides, if you go alone, none of your friends or family will be able to see you shadowboxing in your seat.
SOMETHING NEW
Chris Hemsworth encounters the great white whale that would inspire "Moby-Dick" in director Ron Howard's "In the Heart of the Sea."
