Sooo…. you may have noticed we skipped January for movie releases which I normally would have prepped in December. It wasn’t that there weren’t any because there were. The Beekeeper, Mean Girls and a handful of others were on the watch list. But honestly, we were busy with our holiday gift guides and a LOT of giveaways pretty much non-stop until mid-December. Then we traveled to spend time with family for a couple weeks over the holidays. By the time I sat down to work on it when we returned in January, I kind of shrugged and went, “Meh. Let’s start with February in 2024.”
And here we are… on schedule-ish as planned-ish. Hopefully you had a great holiday, started 2024 on the right foot and are ready to enjoy board games, travel, family dinners and some good movies. Here’s what’s releasing in February!

Argylle

The greater the spy, the bigger the lie. Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past. Accompanied by Aiden (Oscar® winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.

The arduous (and pricey) process sends her on a journey of self-examination, confronting past lovers, dreams, and regrets, and ultimately bringing her face to face with the one she’s meant to be with forever: Herself.
The Monk and The Gun
Release Date: February 9, 2024 (Get Tickets) Genre: Drama Cast: Tandin Wangchuk, Harry Einhorn, Choeying Jatsho, Kelsang Choejey
The Monk And The Gun captures the wonder and disruption as Bhutan becomes one of the world’s youngest democracies. Known throughout the world for its extraordinary beauty and its emphasis on Gross National Happiness, the remote Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan was the last nation to connect to the internet and television. And if that weren’t enough change, the King announced shortly afterwards that he would cede his power to the people via their vote and a new form of government: Democracy.
An elderly lama (Kelsang Choejey), recognizing that extraordinary change is about to sweep through his country, is troubled by the possible outcomes. He instructs his young disciple Tashi (Tandin Wangchuk) to set forth into the kingdom and bring him two guns before the full moon to “set it right.” The young monk is perplexed by his guru’s request, and his familiarity with guns is based solely on images from the only film available on television: James Bond. His quest brings him into contact with a scheming American gun collector Ron (Harry Einhorn), leading to a most unexpected outcome.
