Movies out Today: 1 April 2015

Everybody, hold onto each other! It's the trailer for KRAMPUS!
I’m just going to go out on a limb here, and guess that while writer-director Michael Dougherty likes superheroes, he sure as hell doesn’t like national holidays.

This trailer for A LONG WAY DOWN asks why you wouldn't want to throw yourself off a building
As anybody who’s worked with Darryn for any extended period of time can attest, sometimes you just want to throw yourself off a building. Or throw him off a building. Either way, somebody’s going over the edge of this metaphorical rooftop. But I digress… The point is that there are many people that battle with suicidal tendencies, and all for …
