(Movies That Matter Intro)
Welcome to Movies That Matter, where we look at three movies worth knowing about before the weekend begins.
This week: Johnny Depp plays Scrooge, bank robbers post their jobs online, and Adam Driver and Miles Teller mix it up with Russian criminals.

What’s new? Johnny Depp is saying bah humbug in Ebenezer.

This is a much darker take on A Christmas Carol, with Depp as Ebenezer Scrooge and Ti West directing.

So yeah… Johnny Depp as Scrooge is more than enough to make me want to go see this one.
And now, bank robbery has officially entered the social media era.
(How to Rob a Bank clip)
Nicholas Hoult and Zoë Kravitz star in How to Rob a Bank, about a crew that actually broadcasts its crimes online.
Problem is, going viral also makes it a whole lot easier for the FBI to find you.

Maybe don’t livestream the evidence.
And finally, let’s head to 1986 New York.
(Paper Tiger clip)
Miles Teller and Adam Driver play brothers in Paper Tiger who get pulled into a deal with Russian criminals.
You also get some Scarlett Johansson there too.

Family business. Probably not a good idea.
That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. From Christmas ghosts to viral bank robbers to Russian criminals in 1980s New York, there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
Until next time – keep on popping the corn.
