We watched the new flicks opening in cinemas this Easter weekend and here’s what we thought

Cape Town – Helen Mirren owns the cinema this weekend with two films on circuit – a horror and a mediocre road trip drama.

Also in cinemas is childhood favourite Peter Rabbit and Steven Spielberg’s okayish dystopian drama, Ready Player One.

HERE ARE 4 NEW MOVIES IN CINEMAS:

Movie: Winchester

Our rating: 2/5

Short review: This horror movie is about more than just big scares and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

Movie: Read Player One

Our rating: 3/5

Short review: Ready Player One may not find its director at his best but even C-Level Steven Spielberg is well worth checking out. Just make sure you do it in glorious 2D!

Movie: Peter Rabbit

Our rating: 3/5

Short review: With warm nostalgia for Beatrix Potter's classic children's tale, Peter Rabbit channels the author's earnestness into a sweet film sure to delight the book's youngest fans.

Our rating: 2/5

Short review: Even Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren can't save this bland roadtrip movie.
