Movie of the Week – 18-12-19
There are two movies released this week. One of the is our movie of the week, the other is Cats!
The other thing of interest is that neither have been reviewed due to embargoes. It seems a strange system, especially as Star Wars will be relatively positive. Cats could well go either way, but we’ll wait and see.
