Cape Town – Comedy, animation, politics and horror - there’s something for everyone at cinemas this weekend.
John Cena shakes of his wrestling persona to play an overprotective dad, Liam Neeson plays the real-life Deep Throat in a political biopic, Tom Hiddleston voices a caveman and horror The Strangers gets a second outing 10 years later.
Here are the 4 new films releasing in SA:
Movie: Blockers
Our rating: 4/5
Short review: Despite some of the crass slapstick humour of Blockers, you end up being surprised at the cleverness of the script and the positive sex message that brings life to the genre.
Movie: Mark Felt: The Man Who Took Down the White House
Our rating: 2/5
Short review: A boring and uninspired take on a timely and extraordinary story, Mark Felt: The Man Who Took Down the White House is in an early running for most disappointing film of the year.
Movie: The Strangers: Prey at Night
Our rating: 2/5
Short review: When horror movies are boring, then you’re doing it wrong.
Our rating: 2/5
Short review: Arguably Aardman's weakest film to date, Early Man will work for the really young and most likely not for anyone else.
