This week in theaters we have the third and final (THANK GOD!) installment in the "Fifty Shades" franchise, titled "Fifty Shades Freed". Obviously, the film has been getting all kinds of bad karma from critics and moviegoers, but that's not going to stop it from making a ton of money. Other new releases include Clint Eastwood's patriotic ode "The 15:17 to Paris" and the animated film "Peter Rabbit". In limited release, the drama "Golden Exits" starring Emily Browning is worth a look.
Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.
