Terminator: Dark Fate — This sixth installment in the Terminator franchise and sequel to Terminator 2: Judgement Day, reunites original stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton for the first time since producer/director James Cameron’s 1991 blockbuster. The new film, produced and co-written by Cameron and directed by Deadpool’s Tim Miller, mirrors 1984’s original The Terminator: a human-robot hybrid, played by Mackenzie Davis, is sent from the future to protect a young woman in the present, played by Natalia Reyes, from a new, more advanced terminator, played by Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Diego Luna. Rated R.

Harriet — Cynthia Erivo plays the titular character in this biopic based on the life of abolitionist Harriet Tubman, who escaped slavery and led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Leslie Odom Jr., Joe Alwyn, and Janelle Monáe co-star. Rated PG-13.

Arctic Dogs — This computer-animated comedy-adventure stars Jeremy Renner as Swifty the Arctic Fox — a mailroom worker at the Arctic Blast Delivery Service whose quest to prove he can be Top Dog. The Arctic’s star husky couriers leads him on a journey to a secret location, where he meets the evil Otto Von Walrus, voiced by John Cleese. Swifty enlists his friends — played by Alec Baldwin, James Franco, Heidi Klum, Omar Sy and Anjelica Huston to foil his plot to melt the Arctic and become the world’s supreme ruler. Rated PG.

Motherless Brooklyn — Edward Norton directed and stars in this crime drama, set in 1950s New York City, about a private investigator struggling with Tourette syndrome, played by Norton, who tries to solve the mystery of his mentor’s death. Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bobby Cannavale, Cherry Jones, Dallas Roberts, Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe also star. Rated R.

Saturday night it’s more of OWN’s Love & Marriage: Huntsville. Melody and Martell have been at odds all season, but are they getting on the same page when it comes to the Comeback Group? Find out Saturday night at 8.

Sunday night the Georgia Peaches return — with Kenya Moore back on the scene for Real Housewives of Atlanta. Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore is open to reconciling with her estranged husband Marc Daly. The two announced their split in September. She told People, “I didn’t get married to quit. I love my husband. I don’t doubt that he loves me. Let me be clear, I took my vows seriously. I believe in for better and for worse and I believe in trying it all before you walk away, especially when we do have a child and we are a family.” Looking at the promo trailer, we are in for a ride. RHOA returns Sunday, 7pm on Bravo followed by Married to Medicine.

Of course, episode 10 of Power is the midseason finale. Ghost has the best day ever, he’s on top of the world. Meanwhile the Feds work to prove James St. Patrick is guilty for the murder of Terry Silver. But when Ghost makes a political move, it triggers resentment from his many enemies.

I watch it in real time – 8pm – but of course, you can download On Demand at midnight.

And if you missed it, did you see T.I. chopping it up with Tamron Hall? He talked Nipsey Hussle, the loss of his sister Precious, “cancel culture” and Kanye.

Enjoy your weekend – and go Chiefs!
