Film Releases This Week – 05-02-20

Finally, after many months of waiting, Parasite has arrived! I know a lot of people you have strangely already seen it, but it is only released in the cinema this week. We also liked Mr Jones a heck of a lot, which is in selected cinemas from Friday.

Birds Of Prey is currently embargoed, so we’ll have to wait and see about that one.  We’ve also got an early contender for worst film of the year? Robert Downey Jr.stars as Doolittle which currently has 16% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ouch! Is there any chance Iron Man can be brought back to life?
