Weekend Movie Reviews: What to Watch – Fox 13 News

This weekend is the perfect time to cozy up and binge-watch some movies. If you’re looking for a psychological horror thriller, check out “Persona” streaming on Prime Video. The film follows a woman who wakes up injured in a house with no memory, only to discover another woman bound in a room. Together, these strangers must unravel the mystery before the door is unlocked. Film Critic Tony Toscano describes it as a bit unsteady in places, but praises the performances and final scenes, making it worth a watch – he gives it a solid B rating, and it’s not rated.

For fans of action and adventure, the new series “The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power” is now in theaters and streaming on Prime Video. Set thousands of years before the events of ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ this epic drama delves into a time when great powers were forged and unlikely heroes were tested. Tony notes that after a slow start in season 1, the series has found its footing in season 2 and expects even more from season 3 – giving it a B rating with a TV-14 classification.

If you’re in the mood for a Netflix film, consider “Mary,” which explores the life of Mary in a new light. While the lead actors deliver earnest performances, Tony finds the script strays too far from the Christmas story, replacing its beauty with historically inaccurate content. He gives it a D rating, and it’s not rated.

And for a festive treat, check out the holiday mystery series “Mistletoe Murders” on Hallmark+. In this series, Christmas store owner Emily Lane turns sleuth to solve local murders, providing a delightful surprise for the holiday season. Tony gives it a B rating, and it’s not rated.
