If prancing around 19th century style isn't your thing, maybe rocking out is.

So what options are there for when you have to get out of their the house? Go to the local watering hole for an impromptu class reunion? No thank you. How about an official class reunion? Negative to that one, too. A safe bet is to just hit up the movies. Every year there is a slew of movies released throughout the long Thanksgiving weekend. Bostonist spent the last few days hitting up local pre-release and just-released screenings and we have thoughts on a few of the offerings: more ›
