Part two of our one-two blockbuster punch is this weekend. Last week, we began with Ghostbusters, which fared fairly well at the box office. There aren’t many highly anticipated movies on the schedule this week, so Warner Bros. will have the majority of the new release anticipation. If you don’t want a massive CG combat including enormous Kaiju, there are a few other possibilities.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Let’s start with the obvious, Godzilla x Kong is the fifth entry into the Warner Bros. MonsterVerse. The film stars Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Dan Stevens, and of course Godzilla and King Kong. Adam Wingard, who helmed Godzilla vs. Kong in 2021, is returning to direct. Savor the movie for what it is: a massive battle between a variety of kaiju.
In the Land of Saints and Sinners
In the Land of Saints and Sinners, Liam Neeson’s upcoming action movie, is an Irish action thriller that was written by Terry Loane and Mark Michael McNally and directed by Robert Lorenz. In addition to Neeson, Kerry Condon and Jack Gleeson also star in the movie. Only recently is the movie being distributed after making its debut at the 80th Venice International Film Festival in September last year.
