Welcome to Movies That Matter, where we look at three movies worth knowing about before the weekend begins.
Facebook is getting exposed again, Jessica Chastain has a really creepy houseguest, and Dolly Parton is heading back to the office.

What’s new? The Social Network grew up – and Aaron Sorkin is taking us back into the world of Facebook with The Social Reckoning.
(The Social Reckoning clip – “The Algorithm Changed”)
Mikey Madison plays whistleblower Frances Haugen, who teams up with a Wall Street Journal reporter played by Jeremy Allen White to expose some of Facebook’s biggest secrets.
(The Social Reckoning clip – “We did.”)
And if social media isn’t scary enough…
(Other Mommy clip “Can I go into your heart?”)
Jessica Chastain stars in Other Mommy, playing both a young girl’s mom… and the creepy thing pretending to be her.
(Other Mommy clip “Where is she?”)
So if a creepy copy of your mom asks to come inside…
Just don’t open the door.
(Other Mommy clip – Mom Smiling)
And finally…
9 to 5 is returning to theaters for a special one-week engagement.
Dolly’s back on the big screen – and there’s an even better reason to go.
Net proceeds from U.S. ticket sales will benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library through the Dollywood Foundation.
(9 to 5 clip)
46 years later… they’re still working 9 to 5.
That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. From Facebook whistleblowers to creepy double mommies to one very familiar office, there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
Until next time – keep on popping the corn.
