Our movie critic Dennis Willis of flicknation.net gave us some fall films to look forward to. They included "It, Chapter Two,"  "Ad Astra,"  "Downton Abbey," "Rambo, Last Blood" "Joker," "Lucy in the Sky," "Gemini Man,"  "Terminator: Dark Fate," "Doctor Sleep" and "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker." I just keep thinking of 9/20 when both 'Downton Abbey' and "Rambo: Last Blood'" open the same day. Better carefully check your ticket stub when you go to a multi-plex!
