Weekly Recap: Angel Has Fallen, Ready Or Not & More!


Another sleepy week for August, but there are still some worthwhile films out there. Not among them is Angel Has Fallen, which simply exists to do nothing impressive except pass time. Fortunately, Ready or Not is the opposite, providing plenty of entertainment as a darkly comedic thriller. A few other releases are still around as well. At home, the superhero horror flick Brightburn is now available. And lastly, be sure to enjoy a couple of new podcasts we put together for all to hear and have fun with. Enjoy and thanks for reading!

In Theaters Now:

  • Angel Has Fallen - Less racist than the previous entry, but now just bland
  • Ready or Not - A fine bit of late-summer fun
  • Brittany Runs a Marathon - No review, but a nice feature that gets plenty right.
