The top movies and TV shows in theatres and streaming platforms this week
IT: Chapter Two
IT: Chapter Two
IMDb: 7.6/10
Director: Andy Muschietti
Stars: Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader
Description:
The youngsters of Derry get through the Summer of deaths and killing alive, in a fictional town in Maine. Twenty seven years later, death will rise yet again and all the members of the former Losers Club will have to come back and face it all together. Will they win against the sinister Pennywise or perish and float?
What do the critics say:
Peter Debruge from Variety writes, "an elaborate fun-house horror movie that springs pop-up gimmicks and boogie-boogie scares steadily enough to excuse its been-there story and self-important 169-minute running time."
"It: Chapter Two" is a very fine follow-up to the most successful horror film ever, says Johnny Oleksinski from the New York Post.
The Shallow on Netflix
IMDb: 6.3/10
Director: Jaume Collet-Serra
Stars: Blake Lively, Óscar Jaenada, Angelo Josue Lozano Corzo
Description:
Don’t travel to the deep end of the sea if you do want to encounter a shark. But what happens when the shark comes to The Shallows of a secluded beach? A trainer Nancy is alone and cannot swim her way back home.
What do the critics say:
For all its skills, the shark turns out to be a pretty thin hook on which to hang a less-than-90-minute movie, wrote Glenn Kenny The NYTimes
Bob Hoose from Plugged In The Shallows isn't just a "We're gonna need a bigger boat" clone. It actually goes quite a bit deeper than that.
Hangover on HOOQ
IMDb:7.7/10
Director: Todd Phillips
Stars: Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha
Description :
The hit movie where a groom and his best friends wake up with no memory of the night before. But, there are clues--a tiger in the bathroom, a missing tooth and much more. They have to solve the mystery and locate the missing groom, before he misses his own wedding.
What do the critics say:
A great fun ride, The Hangover introduces a whole new bunch of talent to Hollywood, specially Zach, the nerd. Don't miss it, wrote Times of India.
Even with all the concerns about the content in ‘The Hangover’, you'd have to be pretty hard-hearted not to admire the flair, flash, and funk that director Todd Phillips brings to the film, James Rocchi, Common Sense Media

Burn Notice" is a highly enjoyable hybrid, one that marries espionage and crime stories to a dry comedic tone, wrote Gillian Flynn
