As we prepare for the opening of theaters and the return to normal life practices, we want to remind people that we are still within the thralls of a pandemic, and recommend people check out our article on ”If You Should Go Out” Here. Until then though, if you do go to a theater make sure it has a policy of requiring attendees to wear masks, and sit in isolated groups out of proximity of other viewers.
Force of Nature – Releasing in Theaters and Streaming
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – (None Available Yet)
Two cops, Emile Hirsch and Stephanie Cayo, are forced to help evacuate during a severe hurricane, but their efforts are turned upside down when a group of criminals attempts to use the disaster as the cover for their art heist.
While this movie does not come off as that interesting, if you are a fan of heist films, or are starved for action, then this movie does exist, but you will have to watch Mel Gibson play a grizzled old police officer. With all the things going on in the world, a confirmed racist like Gibson playing a police officer may just be too much for some people.
Game of Death – Releasing in Theaters and Streaming
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – 60%
Seven friends while hanging out stumble upon the titular “Game of Death” which after registering them as playing requires that they kill other people, or the game will kill them, by exploding their heads. What lurks in the minds of people, as they are forced to kill or be killed.
Don’t be confused, this isn’t a remake of the beloved Bruce Lee film, but a horror movie with an almost Jumanji feel, as the game compels the players to kill, or be killed. It’s a unique take in the horror field, but keep in mind it’s not terribly in-depth. However, if you are looking for a fast-paced horror film, then this is a good option for this week!
