Cape Town – There's no better way to kick off the weekend than to catch one of the new movies opening in local cinemas.
Idris Elba and Kate Winslet find love in a hopeless place in a survivalist romance, a student is forced to live her death over and over in a slasher horror, Gerard Butler tries to save the world from disaster and Madea is back for a second round of Halloween silliness.
Here are the 4 new movies releasing SA cinemas:
Movie: The Mountain Between Us
Our rating: 2/5
Short review: The Mountain Between Us starts out with some great elements but takes a wrong turn when it goes into sappy Nicholas Sparks romance terrain.
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: Classic slasher with a side of comedy, Happy Death Day is nothing unique but it’s a guaranteed fun night out.
Movie: Boo 2! A Madea Halloween
Our rating: 1/5
Short review: Another round with Madea and co. in a “horror comedy” that is all but guaranteed to make you lose the will to live.
Movie: Geostorm
Our rating: 1/5
Short review: Gerard Butler's new disaster film is a disaster.
