One weekend ahead of the big Thanksgiving holiday, six new films are premiering, but none have "A-List" stars among the cast. 

The critic's choice among today's releases is the drama Bleed For This, based on a true story about a boxing champ who suffers a broken neck in a car wreck.  Fantasy fans might want to check out a story based in 1926-era New York City:  Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them.  The struggles of high school life serve as the theme for Edge Of Seventeen.  A film with a very serious tone,  Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, spotlights a group of Iraq war vets dealing with "perception versus reality" issues once they get back home.
