The Thursday Movie Review - 27th July 2017

Jul 28, 2017, 08:01 AM

Joff Hopkins and film critic Mark Searby take a look at the new movies out this weekend.

Could we be about to witness a renaissance of the rom-com genre? Find out if Mark needed the tissues for multi-cultural romantic comedy THE BIG SICK.

We're down under for an Aussie horror film, with a story of abduction in stomach-churning release HOUNDS OF LOVE.

On DVD and Blu Ray this week: GET OUT is "akin to a racial version of the Stepford Wives" - and KONG: SKULL ISLAND (nothing to do with the Jack Black film in the 00s) is a reboot with a huge ensemble cast.

As featured at the New York Book Festival, Mark Searby's book 'Al Pacino: The Movies Behind The Man' is available to order on Kindle now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Al-Pacino-Movies-Behind-Man-ebook/dp/B0724Z3M1M
