This week in theaters it's a battle between British super-spy James Bond and the dreaded Peanuts gang. "Spectre" and "The Peanuts Movie" are facing off this weekend and the stakes are high at the box-office. I think it may be time for "The Martian" to move over. In limited release we have the true story drama "Spotlight" and the period drama "Brooklyn", both highly praised by critics, and potential awards contenders next year. More about each movie after the jump.
Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.
