New in theaters is the comedy "Notice to Quit." An out-of-work actor who is struggling as a New York City realtor has his world crash down when his estranged 10-year-old daughter shows up in the middle of his eviction. Film Critic Tony Toscano says, "Notice to Quit is a better-than average comedy about the pressures of fatherhood, finding self worth and city living. If you're looking for a film with a 'sit-com' feel this is it." He gives it a B and it's rated PG-13.

Also in selected theaters and streaming on Paramount + is the horror / thriller "Apartment 7A." In this prequel to 1968's "Rosemary's Baby," a struggling dancer finds herself drawn into dark forces by a peculiar couple promising her fame.

Also in selected theaters, Kate Winslet stars in the bio-drama "Lee," based on the life and times of photojournalist Lee Miller. Lee Miller was a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II.
