“JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL” is one of the films coming out this weekend in local cinemas.
If you’re not done with the holiday shopping, you’d best put it in gear. Of course, all work and no play … Well, you know the rest. Here’s our guide to what’s happening in the communities of Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Stanton and Westminster.
