Let’s take a look at some of the films coming out over the coming week:
In cinemas this week we have the long-awaited arrival of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Pitch Perfect 3 playing from Wednesday December 20th
Over on Netflix, Friday 22nd sees a new Netflix Original movie Bright, starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton. imdb.com says:
Set in a world where mystical creatures live side by side with humans. A human cop is forced to work with an Orc to find a weapon everyone is prepared to kill for.
Certainly sounds intriguing!
Friday 22nd also sees Mad Max: Fury Road pop up on everyone’s favourite VoD service meanwhile Wednesday 20th brings Autopsy of Jane Doe – low-budget chiller with Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch, The Road – post-apocalyptic drama with Viggo Mortensen and Bridge of Spies – espionage courtroom drama with Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance.
Included on Amazon Prime Video from Wednesday 20th, releases to look out for include Falling Down – citizen-breakdown drama with Michael Douglas, Mars Attacks! – alien-invasion done by Tim Burton with Jack Nicholson and Poseidon – Wolfgang Peterson’s decidedly average submarine drama with Richard Dreyfuss and Kurt Russell.
And finally, if you’re a physical object collector type of film consumer then on DVD and Blu-Ray you might want to check out Christopher Nolan’s epic movie Dunkirk, which split audiences but to my mind ranks as the best WWII film released in a while.
