NOW PLAYING REVIEWS: The Grudge (2020)

The answer is none.

Question: which new wide release movie is recommended to watch in the theaters this week?

Week #1 of 2020 1/3/2020 only has one movie and despite it being one of my favorite genres: horror, it cannot be recommended.

The Grudge (2020)⭐️⭐️

I’m not even recommending you see it when available on streaming. Just save yourself the pain and see something else. Is it really that bad? Unless you like watching a bunch of jumpscares, yeah, it’s that bad.

Neither of us were jumpscared into excitement and yes, we’re kinda holding a grudge.

Hey, if you want to see an awesome horror movie and haven’t yet seen yet (available to stream on Amazon Prime Video as of 1/3/2020) ….

A Quiet Place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ 

I just saw that and loved it! A Quiet Place 2 is coming in March 2020.

In fact, since doing this every week, this is the first week I have no new wide release movie theater recommendations.

Alas, we can’t leave you hanging, friendly readers. I’m going to recommend — again — last week’s recommendation:

Little Women ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Directed by Greta Gerwig, only her second effort since Lady Bird ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (also recommended, available on Amazon Prime as of 1/3/2020).

Want to see what else we recommend NOW PLAYING at the theater?

Here are other movies we’ve seen at the theater recently that are recommended. Any movie rated at least 3-stars is recommended. You should read any 3-star review (click the title), because sometimes they are qualified, meaning we were entertained, but maybe only recommend to certain moviegoer interests.

4-star movies are highly recommended to everyone and films rated 4.5 or 5 stars are must see.

1. Ford v Ferrari ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ScreenX
2. Little Women ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3. Knives Out ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4. Joker ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
5. Richard Jewell ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
6. Uncut Gems ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
7. Dark Waters ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
8. Last Christmas ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
9. Frozen II ⭐️⭐️⭐️
10. Bombshell ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happy movie watching to you!
