Here are the 3 new films releasing in SA
Movie: Venom
Our rating: 1/5
Short review: A terrible throwback to the worst superhero films of years gone by, the only good thing about Venom is a five minute coda at the end of the credits that have nothing to do with the film itself.
Movie: The Forgiven
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: Despite Forest Whitaker playing an unconvincing Desmond Tutu and an inconsistent storyline, The Forgiven is a powerful portrayal of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission days.
Movie: The House with the Clock in Its Walls
Our rating: 3/5
Short review: The House with a Clock in Its Walls is geared towards outsiders and that’s a good thing.
