It’s Wednesday! And do you know what that means? Cinemas across the country are announcing new films for the upcoming week. Get ready for action movies, a Christmas horror, and one remarkable biopic. Here’s what to expect…

Judy

The biopic, set in 1968, stars Renee Zellweger, who brings Judy Garland back to life as she performs a series of concerts in London and struggles with losing her spark.

The good: Zellweger making her comeback to movie theatres can definitely get you off the couch.

The bad: Zellweger’s fake accent might just be a little over the top.

10 Minutes Gone

A man attempts to piece together 10 minutes lost from his memory during a bank heist. The action film stars Bruce Willis and Michael Chiklis and is directed by Brian A Miller.

The good: The plotline pulls the viewer in with curiosity towards what was not shown on screen during those 10 minutes.

The bad: Chiklis and Willis should have switched roles because Chiklis doesn’t sound too convincing as a man who lost his memory.

Jumanji: The Next Level

The fourth instalment in the Jumanji franchise sees Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joining Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan on a new quest in the deserts and snowy mountains to rescue their friend from the world’s most dangerous game.

The good: The four stars are hilarious, and they will effortlessly manage to make viewers laugh.

The bad: Jumanji take four? You might be bored with the needlessly-elongated narrative.

Black Christmas

The horror film follows a group of girls on Christmas break when a stalker turns their life into a nightmare with a series of crimes.

The good: Horror fans are in for a treat during the gory scenes.

The bad: Christmas should be about joy, and twisting the happy times into horrific ones does not sound too appealing.
