Weekly Roundup – April 16-22 2018

Weekly. Hmmm. Okay, so I missed a few weeks. I’ll try not to do that in future. Anyway, without further ado, here’s the week’s highlights.

Opening this Friday in cinemas we have creepy horror film Wildling starring Liv Tyler, Mike Newell’s intriguingly titled Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, teen movie Every Day about a girl who wakes up in a different body every day, The Leisure Seeker with Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren and Claire Denis’ Let The Sunshine In (French title: Un Beau Soleil Intérieur) starring the magnificent Juliette Binoche. No blockbusters but all of them look like they’re worth seeing to me.

For your home-purchasing disc-delights we have animated bull-romp Ferdinand, mostly forgettable but enjoyable nonetheless, and a horror film I missed from December called Better Watch Out that looks like it could be amazing, or just very very silly!

Netflix this week is bringing us Alice Through The Looking Glass, the excellent Money Monster with George Clooney, comedy drama Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Chasing the Dragon and the Brazilian film All the Reasons to Forget (Brazilian Title Todas As Razões Para Esquecer) all streaming from Wednesday. Friday then brings the dreadful Lake Placid, the even worse FearDotCom, the potentially-interesting original Dude and Mercury 13, a documentary about female astronauts.

If all of that is not enough for you’re out of luck because Amazon Prime appears to be bringing nothing to the table this week at all!

So there you have it. Happy watching 🙂
