Comedy, politics and horror at cinemas this weekend!

Cape Town – Comedy, animation, politics and horror - there’s something for everyone at cinemas this weekend.

John Cena shakes of his wrestling persona to play an overprotective dad, Liam Neeson plays the real-life Deep Throat in a political biopic, Tom Hiddleston voices a caveman and horror The Strangers gets a second outing 10 years later.

Here are the 4 new films releasing in SA:

Movie: Blockers

Our rating: 4/5

Short review: Despite some of the crass slapstick humour of Blockers, you end up being surprised at the cleverness of the script and the positive sex message that brings life to the genre.

Movie: Early Man

Our rating: 2/5
