Three highly rated movies open in cinemas this week. Oh, and yet another Insidious chapter.

Thank goodness this week has some decent new movies. Compared to last week's fare, it's practically the Oscars.

Much like the first week of January itself, this week's new cinema releases are tired. So very, very tired.

Take a break from the festivities with the new movies opening in cinemas over the next two weeks. As for me, I am outta here!

Any movie that goes head to head with a Star Wars film for their opening weekend either doesn’t care for their box office performance, or didn’t plan their release schedule very well! Of everything else opening this weekend, The Foreigner looks to be the most worthy of your time, otherwise, it’s Star Wars all the way! [divider style=”shadow” top=”30″ bottom=”30″] …

For some reason, there's usually a very quiet week for new movies at the beginning of December, while we gear up for the big holiday releases. True to form, this week is a dud week for new movies opening in cinemas today.

Along with getting to open the first square in your advent calendar, the festive movies are starting to flood the cinemas. Merry Christmas month!

In amidst the Black Friday madness that’s gripped the nation, why not take some time out and head to the movies? If you’ve got any money left that is!
