Coming up in Dallas entertainment
By Ashleigh Heaton Entertainment Editor Movies The Box: Nov. 6 Cameron Diaz and James Marsden deal with a sticky moral issue (there’s an understatement): push the button on a mysterious box and kill thousands of people while getting a buttload of money or…not kill people.
